J.B. Pritzker acknowledges family members have been in Florida and Wisconsin during coronavirus shutdown
The Chicago Tribune ^ | May 15, 2020 | Rick Pearson and Jamie Munks

Gov. J.B. Pritzker for the first time acknowledged his wife and daughter were in Florida before Illinois’ statewide stay-at-home order took effect in March and just recently returned to Chicago.

He was being “very private and very reserved because there are threats to my safety and to their safety."

“You have seen that there are people that stand outside the Thompson Center and stand outside the Capitol in Springfield, holding, I mean, hateful signs that reference me personally and that suggest, if not say, but suggest the potential for violence."

"If his family can’t even heed the guidance of his own stay at home order, how does he expect Illinois voters to do the same?” said an email from the Republican National Committee with the subject line: “Governor Pritzker can’t take the heat.”

Pritzker said on Friday he hoped that an unnamed Republican super political action committee “that’s pushing stories like this about my family, would stop doing it because they are putting my children and family in danger.”

But he also acknowledged his family had only recently left Florida, where they had been staying since at least early March, before his stay-at-home order was issued. He owns an equestrian farm there.

Pritzker owns a horse farm in Racine, Wisconsin, and he indicated that his family was there.

“I just will say we have a working farm. They’re there now. There are animals on that farm, that it’s an essential function to take care of animals at a farm, so that’s what they’re doing,” he said.

A Pritzker spokeswoman later clarified that the family is at home in Chicago and have visited the farm but haven’t stayed there.

I can never keep it straight...

When they say transgendered woman.... is that a woman who has undergone the procedures to become a man? Or a man who has undergone the procedures to become a woman?!

Can you imagine what it must be like to have that continent-sized slug pawing at you in the middle of the night? (Shudder)

She isn’t exactly a fashion model. He might make her feel svelte, but she’s on the way to catching up to him.

If she rides, it better be a BIG horse.

I would suspect that if it is a working farm that there is a hired contingent that resides and works on the farm when 99% of the time that Pritzer troupe are not in residence. The only shoveling of BS here is by King Pritzer.

Prickster in all of his glory. Hopefully, he can join the ranks of the other IL governors sent to prison.

Give me a break, J.B. Pritzker worth 3.4 Billion Dollars expects us to believe his family gets up at the crack of dawn to milk the cows, get the eggs from the chickens and clean the horse stalls.

In 2017, eight Pritzker family members made the “Forbes 400 Richest People In America” list. So guess they gather around the evening camp fire for hotdogs and s’mores.

His Florida Grand Prix Farms Drive has stalls for 30 horses and a riding area. The Pritzkers also have a 230-acre horse farm on the Illiniois-Wisconsin border in Kenosha County. So they must be very busy traveling between both properties caring for all de animals....

There you have it. Mrs. Pritzker and the kids are slopping the hogs and cleaning out the stables.

Now shut up, plebe.

I think in this case, it's a man who wanted to be a woman.   (I have never seen a transgender like that who I would consider even remotely close to being at all attractive.   In fact, it seems to always be just the opposite.   Think about this guy, "Rachel" Levine, and remember Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner?)

“Pritzker has been overweight for most of his life, but his wife is helping him find a solution.”

How’s that working out?

Both husband and wife look to have packed on significant pounds in the past two and a half years.

Maybe the unemployed Illinoisan diet regimen could help them.

I hadn't seen any pictures so I had to check. Ugh.

Pretty sure that is a recent photo of Fred Flintstone.
