Posing as a TV reporter clad with body armor, Gov. JB Pritzker on Thursday mocked the Trump administrative narrative that National Guard troops are needed to quell chaos in “war-torn Chicago” in a bit for ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“This is JB Pritzker, reporting from war-torn Chicago. As you can see, there’s utter mayhem and chaos on the ground. It’s quite disturbing,” he says on a downtown Chicago bridge. “The Milwaukee Brewers have come in to attack our Chicago Cubs.

“We’ve seen people being forced to eat hot dogs with ketchup on them, and our deep dish pizza, well, has gone shallow. So it’s a challenge to survive here in the city of Chicago, but there’s no hellscape that I’d rather be in,” Pritzker says.

I just wonder what the families of these murder victims think about Pritzker making fun of the people trying to make Chicago safer?

It shows that the lard ass is LAUGHING at the victims of violent crime..every week 10 blacks are murdered in the streets of Chicago and this clown is LAUGHING AT THEM, this should be made into a campaign ad

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. That was mostly on the South Side, and those people’s lives don’t matter unless a policeman pulls the trigger./SARC

Did he and Jimmy Kibble have a wonderful dinner, with people coming up to them and praising the job that they’re doing?

I wish the camera guy would have quick turned around and showed the security detail standing just behind him doing lookout.

To bad the elderly residents of the South side don’t have open stores anymore to buy groceries or fill prescriptions.
