Pausing briefly to clear his throat before discussing the matter at his daily coronavirus briefing, the Democratic governor said the posts falsely portrayed his daughter as flouting COVID-19 restrictions at an outdoor restaurant with friends, igniting a firestorm directed at the girl even after the governor’s office had made it clear she was not in the photograph.

So his wife and daughter live in Florida where restrictions are few while Pritzger locks down his own state. Total hypocrite. Maybe the Dems should just change their name to the tyrannical hypocrite party.
