The clip starts with the reporter noting that at a protest that morning, parents were crying, "Oh my G_d" and seems to say, as Illinois' governor, he calm them and then asks, "or can you" to make it into a question rather than a statement, and she adds there are low risk groups... He is at the mic, and looks displeased.
His staff jumped in to save him from responding and conclude the presser: "Amy, as a SUPPOSED reporter, you should stop spreading misinformation, and we are done here, thank you."
One of Pritzer's staff snarks as if talking to a naughty child, "You know how you stop schools from closing? Stop complaining about mask wearing."
The conference seems over and the reporter says in a loud aside, "Okay, but..show me some studies..." (mask wearing for children)
Pritzker left the podium and staff held the door open for his exit, and then returned to the mic as if he recalled this was their strategy (label questioners as misinformation spreaders).
The Govenor starts out sounding heavy-handed, "I'm going to take the podium again. Let me just say this. YOU are spreading misinformation." He holds the palm of his hand up toward her while saying, "I wish you would stop spreading misinformation."
Pritzker adopts a 'tired' manner and says, "You come in here with a political agenda..." (the reporter is trying to interject but he continues) "You spread misinformation and I just think you should stop."
"We now need to protect our children; we need to protect the people in our communities, parents, grandparents, teachers. You are working against that. " (reporter tries to interject) Pritzker talks over the reporter and makes a fist while saying , "And it is extremely upsetting for all of us trying to make the state safe."

SO as the nations citizens ramp up public appearances, speaking at city councils etc., we need to consider strategy if cretins decide to ape Psaki's tactic of 'label as dangerous'.
If, as in this case, the speaker and his staff unite to denounce you as spreading misinformation and won't let you respond, at all, then this must be a region where picket lines, bigger protests, boycotts, recalls would be needed.
I have been wondering how the other states can support states erecting jail sentences for mask/quarantine violations - I forget which one just announced theirs and was said to the 'the first in the nation'. Well, this is how Australia is succeeding (so far) in locking down their country. They isolate one or two provinces and lock them down. Now the pool of protesters is smaller. They lock a few more down - smaller resistance possible etc.
If all other states, provinces respond when one is set upon with Facist rules, just as the Richmond VA patriots showed us for the 2nd Amendment protests, they can't go forward. So I'm not sure how those of us in CA who can't travel east right now can support aside from phone calls, local protests denouncing those practicies. I beleive this is why states have quarantine laws at the border - to stop states from supporting each other. It's what they fear most. United we stand.
Locally, when we hear that police or medical staff are mandated, we can join any of their picket lines as long as our signs are compatible with theirs (same statements) so we aren't perceived as introducing addition objectives or political agendas. Just see a protest, reach in the trunk for your anti-mask, anti-vax sign and go stand with them, walk the line for awhile. As we do this, they will start enforcing border quarantines to stop it. But we can still picket or protest in our own state against such actions.
Illinois has a creep of a Governor and condescending staff. They adhere to the false perception that 'royals' don't have to talk to peasants.
why can some men be such stand up guys while the likes of buyden and toon and all the rest are such evil and self centered godless punks....
God bless all good men.
