Illinois Gov. Pritzker: It’s ‘Inappropriate’ to Ask if My Wife Dodged My Stay-at-Home Order
Breitbart ^ | April 30, 2020 | Hannah Bleu

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on Wednesday said it is “inappropriate” to question his wife’s whereabouts in response to reports that his billionaire spouse, M.K. Pritzker, left town, effectively dodging the state’s stringent stay-at-home orders by purportedly fleeing to their $12.1 million equestrian estate in South Florida.

Pritzker refused to address his wife’s whereabouts during Wednesday’s press briefing, calling it “inappropriate” and stating that it is “reprehensible” that the Patch reporter originally covered the story.

“Where’s the first lady? Is she accompanied by a state security detail has she engaged a non-essential travel? What is your response to people who say the state home order and non-essential travel bans aren’t being abided by your family?” he was asked.

“I believe there’s a report from Illinois Rising Action that says that she recently traveled to Florida,” the woman added.

“What’s inappropriate is the Pritzker family’s track record of abiding by the rules only when it suits them,” Kayleen Carlson, executive director of Illinois Rising Action told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement.

“The First Lady has a taxpayer-funded staffer and two taxpayer-funded offices – so her whereabouts are not off limits,” Carlson added.

While Pritzker faces legal challenges over the extension of Illinois’ stay-at-home order, Florida — where his wife is purportedly residing — is slowly reopening.

Is that inappropriate, or inconvenient?

It’s inappropriate to question your King.

No, it is not “inappropriate.” You are not king, idiot.

Florida should return her to Illinois as a ‘runaway’.

Compare to the Queen of the UK in World War II, when told they should send her daughyers to Canada during the Blitz:

“The children won’t go without me. I won’t leave the King. And the King will never leave.”

Chicago Cook County and Springfield deserve him. Unfortunately there is a lot of Illinois attached to those places that don’t, but are along for the ride.

J.B. is owned by the Chinese. He has 20 hotels/resorts in China, by far the most of the Hyatt foreign sites.

If the Chinese want stay-at-home, then we get stay-at-home.

It’s entirely appropriate.

What’s not appropriate is you having one set of standards for the unwashed and another for yourself.
