Reporting in 'war-torn' Chicago, Pritzker mocks Trump's 'hellhole' narrative on 'Jimmy Kimmel'

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.

Pritzker the Clown embarrasses himself trying to downplay 1,590 shootings and 356 homicides in Chicago to date in 2025.

What an ass!

Back in the day one would rarely see politicians as guests on nighttime talk shows.

I saw a poll some time ago and they asked where people got their “news”. A large number got their “news” from late night “comedy” shows.

Pritzker omitted to mention that he was booed by baseball fans at Wrigley Field earlier this week.

.....

I suspect it was because they were designed to pimp any projects the networks, or their partners, were currently running or projects coming up.

Not to be a propaganda arm of a domestic enemy political party.

Yeah, it’s easy to feel safe when you’re surrounded by a hundred armed security guards

A former friend of mine used to watch “The Daily Show” religiously. He would always be telling me, “John Stewart said this, John Stewart said that…”
I tried to steer him to actual news and events, but he wasn’t having it. Sad.

The Republicans in Chicago need to buy a few hundred of those life-size body mannequins. Each Monday morning, stack an equal pile of them in number of murders for the week outside Pritzkers Chicago offices. Gorilla glue them to the pavement. Brandon as well.

Rumor is it took three body armor jackets to wrap around prickster’s immense beer belly.

I know some liberals. Some decrepit old fart across the street. He moved here from kommiefornia. I've watched him drive home drunk. Barely able to walk from his truck.

Long gray hair in a ponytail. Looks like a fool. Talks like a fool with his 60s wannabe rebel without a clue.

There's no hope in enlightening these people. I'm better off trying to talk to my neighbor's dogs.

He makes it comedy but if you have been to Chicago recently, especially the south side, it is a war zone.

Democrats are so stupid, especially the ones in the hell holes. It doesn’t matter what they put out on the TV… The people who live there know the truth

The Prixster is about as funny as a fart in one of Jacques Cousteau’s air tanks was.

With Kimmel or without Kimmel, Pritzker cannot escape the fact that Chicago’s murder rate that is higher than any city its size in America.

Cuomo had a short burst of death when he forced sick people into New York state nursing homes and old people died needlessly as a result. Pritzker, on the other hand, has the slow drip drip drip of gun violence in Chicago, with thousands of dead and wounded while he has been Governor.

But, thanks to Brandon Johnson and his high-priced union buddies at CTU, those Chicago shooters get the most expensive education experience available. And some of them can actually read at grade level. So they got that going for them.
