IL Gov. Pritzker on Protests: ‘People May Die as a Result of the President’s Rhetoric’
Breitbart ^ | April 21, 2020 | Pamela Key

Posted on 04/22/2020 4:24:17 AM PDT by PBRCat

Pritzker said, “I’m very disappointed with the rhetoric and messaging coming from the president. We should be pulling people together right now.”

He continued, “That doesn’t seem to be the message coming from the president when he tweets liberate Michigan or liberate Minnesota or liberate Virginia. He’s fomenting protests, and I hate to say that is fomenting some violence. I’m very concerned about what that might mean for the country if he keeps doing things like that. We should be bringing people together, not dividing them now.”

When asked what he thinks it could mean, Pritzker said, “I know what he’s trying to do, it’s a political maneuver in the middle of a national emergency, and he should stop it. What could it mean? It could mean terrible things. You could end up with violence.”

Pritzker said the protesters are going out in “large crowds,” adding, “where they’re frankly going to be giving each other coronavirus and people, unfortunately, will get sick and some people may die as a result of the president’s rhetoric that has brought them out to protest.”

People in Illinois may also die because Pritzker purchased $17 million dollars worth of defective personal protection equipment from the Chinese Communists who unleashed the Wuhan virus upon the globe.

He should know, he’s the kind of governor that would kill the protesters.

This attitude shows a total lack of managerial skills creativity,and placement in position by politics not intellectual strength. I don’t care how much money this guy has. He is a coward afraid to make decisions.

Fat@ss Pritzker squeals about “rhetoric” while he’s the one who shut down a local company that sterilizes medical equipment that actually could have been used to help combat the pandemic in Illinois:

I don’t know if there’s a governor who spends more time pointing a finger at Trump, but it’s clear why this clown does - he’s a total incompetent whose main talent is his willingness to be a tool of the Democrat machine, and he’s got to do whatever he can to deflect attention from his own stupidity

You lead only with the consent of the governed. People are protesting because you are making poor I’ll informed decisions. Keep the people in mind when making decisions and they’ll be much more likely to go along with your PROPOSAL

I went to Northwestern Law School in Chicago. The Pritzkers put up an ad requesting a babysitter for a New Year’s eve soiree. I got the job and was overwhelmed by their house. Even then oh, it was beautiful, well-appointed, with the latest in PlayStations and gadgets for their children. Lovely Furniture in the basement where they played a bar , fantastic art work all over the place it was absolutely gorgeous. Some people well the Stars aligned behind them. For the rest of us poor Schmucks oh, well they don’t.

And for those blue collar workers cooped up in their modest homes as they worry about how to make ends meet now that they have been laid off and their jobs are not coming back, let 'em eat ice cream.
