IL Gov. Pritzker: Trump ‘Was Not Helpful’ on Coronavirus
Breitbart ^ | May 3, 2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/03/2020 11:30:45 AM PDT by PBRCat

“I talk to my fellow governors, Republicans and Democrats, and we’ve shared ideas with one another about how to keep people safe. We’ve gotten some guidance from the CDC that has been helpful, but much of what came out of the White House for many weeks was not helpful. We needed the White House to lead on the Defense Production Act to help us get swabs and VTM, and reagents, and that hasn’t much happened.”

A total partisan hack, Pritzker has not been is the state capital since early March. He has been in Chicago rather than Springfield, and his billionaire family members departed Illinois to relax at their Florida estate.

While calling upon Trump to utilize the Defense Production Act, Pritzker has steadfastly refused to exercise his power to convene the Illinois General Assembly. The state legislature has not met since the week of March 9th. Pritzker has been issuing orders and commands like an autocrat without legislative approval.

Likewise, Pritzker refuses to allow Illinois businesses to reopen on a regional or county by county basis.

Spoken like a true lost child attempting to place blame because he’s incapable of accepting responsibility. Clueless in knowing how to manage the crisis with sound rational leadership. A complete incompetent clown who wants only to ware the jacket that says “Governor” but at he same time wanting nothing of the adult duties/responsibility that goes with it. Just good times, fun & games... waving to the voters while looking into his mirror of vanity saying: “It’s good to be the Governor.”

We know this is a bald-faced lie, because just a week or two ago both Newsom and Cuomo were praising Trump’s assistance (perhaps reluctantly, but honestly).

If the media goes with this now we need to remind them of Newsom/Cuomo’s recent words.

No one should help a bumbling, incompetent tyrant. If Pritzker thinks that generic remark refers to him, he should take a bow.

This is exactly what you can expect from some Democrat governors. They are dishonest, two faced and unethical. They are Democrats first and no matter how much Trump does for them, they will not be appreciative if they think they can make political points. But then, that’s a democrat.

The Pritzkers invested in a real estate deal with President Trump many years ago and they have opposed him ever since.

Sorry Trump didn’t change you and wipe your bottom, fatbody. He’s not your nurse maid. You wanted to be Governor. It’s YOUR job. Asses up! Back to work you bums!

If true, why did Gov. Pritzker wait,in his own words, “Many Weeks” before trying to get them himself without White House help? Just being political I guess.

Can you imagine what life would be like if Democrats had absolute power - and didn't have to at least pay lip service to the concerns, beliefs, and desires of the populace? Imagine Hillary with absolute power. Omar. Harris. Obama. Pelosi. Schiff. I wouldn't trust any of these people to do anything that required self-restraint, honesty, and integrity. Yet, they all are, or have been in positions of significant power in our government. Speaks volumes of the need to reign in the power of government.

We’ve gotten some guidance from the CDC that has been helpful

I stopped right there. All test kit related issues were a failure of the CDC/FDA. Isnt up to the CDC to facilitate and assist in manufacturing of the test kits Pritzker complains so much about? Its his bias against Trump is what this is.

The Putzkers have made Billions in China - Hyatt is the largest Hotel Chain in China. Don’t forget Penny Pritzker was Obama’s Secretary of Commerce.

The Crooked Putzker’s just cut a deal to build 60 new Hotels across China. Putzker should be investigated for corruption...but he won’t.

Meanwhile, this fat bastard Prickster got a taxpayer funded bailout for his Hyatt Hotels.

The Trump Hotels got nothing.

In other words, in order to maintain good standing in the Party, Comrade Governor is required to hate President Trump.
