Cook County Republican Chairman Sean Morrison lashed out Monday at Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot, accusing them of putting politics before constituents with their “volley of combative and sarcastic tweets” aimed at President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis.

“Finger-pointing and name calling by Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot solves absolutely nothing except for trying to score some cheap political points,” Morrison said in a statement. “We need steady, effective and focused leadership and they’re not providing it.”

House Minority Leader Jim Durkin also called for an end to partisan finger pointing... ”Fighting for our state through this pandemic is neither a Republican nor Democrat issue.”

The chairman of the Illinois GOP, Tim Schneider said “We’ve seen plenty of partisan bickering at home and throughout the nation, we’re grateful for the Trump Administration’s steadfast leadership and transparent, whole-of-government approach to mitigate the spread of coronavirus.”

Oh, and the Sun-Times, Tribune and other local news media in Illinois are hard left in reality while trying to act center left. No reason to read a Chicago news paper. They are both trash.

This is a backhanded story from the Rat media. If a Rat were reading this they would say how hypocritical it is for Republicans to attack their precious POS leaders. I’m sick of the media. I sick of Rats.
