CHICAGO -- Gov. JB Pritzker said Sunday that President Donald Trump and his allies in Illinois are partly to blame for the coronavirus spike in the state.

Pritzker spoke to CNN's "State of the Union" the same day health officials announced 4,245 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 22 additional deaths.

"He's modeling bad behavior. He doesn't wear a mask in public. He has rallies where they don't encourage people to wear masks in public," Pritzker said. "But it is the president's allies in our state, all across the state, who are simply saying to people, 'Don't pay any attention to the mitigations, don't follow the rules.' Indeed, there are bars and restaurants which are restricted from expanding their indoor service that are just ignoring the rules, and they're just filling the place up."

Haven’t seen Trump rallies in Illinois. The RAT gov. would be wise to STFU.

Governor Pritzker, shouldn’t your party be blaming the evil Jews for all the COVID deaths in Illinois? After all, that’s what you anti-semites do.

Remember, Citizen, that the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was a Superspreader event, but the Woman’s March on Washington is not.

Communists like Gov. JB Pritzker have nothing but the blame game, to cover for their own bad decisions and incompetence.

Gee, why would people in Illinois find Trump to be a better role model than Pritzker?

"Modeling bad behavior?" You see how they have turned the Rona into a religion? Mask good, no mask bad? So stupid, so simplistic! And the CDCs OWN DATA shows that people who have worn a mask have gotten the Rona anyway! I hate what these people have done to my country.

The Democrats’ imitation of Bart Simpson “It wasn’t me, man” doesn’t fit very well.

Right and even if everyone signal person at Trumps events would wear a mask they would say the same thing.
