Liberté Chan is a weather reporter for KTLA News, and on Saturday she was handed a sweater and asked to cover up in the middle of her broadcast.
When Chan asked why, a voice off-camera simply replied,"We're getting emails."
Not to cause a big commotion, Chan put on the oversized sweater and added a little banter to lighten the mood: "I look like a librarian now."
