Illinois Gov. Pritzker: It’s ‘Inappropriate’ to Ask if My Wife Dodged My Stay-at-Home Order

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on Wednesday said it is “inappropriate” to question his wife’s whereabouts in response to reports that his billionaire spouse, M.K. Pritzker, left town, effectively dodging the state’s stringent stay-at-home orders by purportedly fleeing to their $12.1 million equestrian estate in South Florida.

Pritzker recently extended the state’s stay-at-home order until May 30 as he continues to promote the “All-in Illinois” initiative, encouraging residents by letting them know that “we’re all in this together.” However, according to a report from the Patch, the state’s first lady is not “all in,” as she reportedly fled to the family’s multimillion-dollar equestrian estate in South Florida as millions of Illinoisans find themselves unable to return to work as a result of her husband’s orders.

Pritzker refused to address his wife’s whereabouts during Wednesday’s press briefing, calling it “inappropriate” and stating that it is “reprehensible” that the Patch reporter originally covered the story.

“Where’s the first lady? Is she accompanied by a state security detail has she engaged a non-essential travel? What is your response to people who say the state home order and non-essential travel bans aren’t being abided by your family?” he was asked.

“I believe there’s a report from Illinois Rising Action that says that she recently traveled to Florida,” the woman added.

“Well first of all, I want to say that in politics it used to be that we kept our families out of it,” Pritzker said, contending that his “official duties” have nothing to do with his family.

“You know my official duties have nothing to do with my family, so I’m just not going to answer that question. It’s inappropriate and I find it reprehensible, honestly, that that that reporter wrote a story about it,” he added:

Despite Pritzker’s assertion that his wife should remain out of the spotlight, she has been involved in public political efforts in recent weeks, teaming up with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) and Chicago first lady Amy Eshleman to raise money for the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund “to provide financial assistance to the city’s creative scene and cultural organizations impacted by the coronavirus pandemic,” according to the Chicago Sun Times.

Additionally, the first lady reportedly has an office in the Illinois Capitol and the James R. Thompson Center, as well as a taxpayer-funded staffer, who makes an estimated $90,000 per year.

“What’s inappropriate is the Pritzker family’s track record of abiding by the rules only when it suits them,” Kayleen Carlson, executive director of Illinois Rising Action told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement.

“The First Lady has a taxpayer-funded staffer and two taxpayer-funded offices – so her whereabouts are not off limits,” Carlson added.

While Pritzker faces legal challenges over the extension of Illinois’ stay-at-home order, Florida — where his wife is purportedly residing — is slowly reopening.

China Continues to Push Conspiracy Theory That U.S. Was Source of Coronavirus

Leftist media in US idolize this level of propaganda and yearn for more power to silence dissenters beyond even CCP levels

CNN=Chinese News Network
NBC=National Broadcasts of China
CBS=Chinese Broadcast Station
ABC=All Broadcasting China

Whoa... wait a minute. I think the truth may rest somewhere in the middle. Technically, the virus may have originated in a US lab. But, the virus could have been easily sent to Wuhan and it got loose. I think the Chines are being clever in saying that the virus source was the United States.

Its funny that people are all against "peaceful protest" until a cause they feel strongly about is jeopardized. Instead of us respecting everyone's right to protest and exercise their 1st Amendment rights, I think BOTH the left and the right are guilty of hypocrisy. They are all for hearing and supporting protests they believe in, but not so much when it involves the opposing side.

And again, I'm talking about peaceful protests.

I have yet to find a protest motivating enough for me to join.

This takes away from their goal, what did the media focus on? Guys with guns, oh God there's going to be mass murder. That's the narrative and the original point of the protest is now skewed by a few a$$ hats who thought they were T total badasses for dressing up in military tactical gear. They look like dumbasses who want to play dress up and have role play of war. Guess what guess, go sign up for the Marines and you'll get a front row seat to live out your call of duty fantasy.

The media is going to find anything they can to smear their cause. They could have showed up with no guns and the media that you are whining about would have said that this crowd of people were jeopardizing the health of the state by not practicing social distancing.

Whitmer's a female, Democrat gov who's on Biden's VP short list. Protesters aren't there to curry media favor, nor should they expect it, firearms or not. They well understand their target audience is state government.

Again, you have no idea who these people are. Some of them may be actual "badasses" and served in actual duty, since they are the most likely to understand the proposition and comfortable with arms. Your insistence you know them doesn't make your claim credible.

Moment grieving daughter demands to know what happened to her mom at Brooklyn Funeral Home where up to 100 Decomposing Bodies were found in trucks - as U-Haul slams 'inhumane' use of their vans

Grieving relatives arrived at a Brooklyn funeral home looking for answers Thursday, a day after police discovered up to 100 decomposing bodies stacked in unrefrigerated trucks outside.

Tamisha Covington said she was charged $15,000 for her mother's body to be kept 'in a U-Haul truck for however long' following her death from a heart attack related to COVID 19, aged 60, on April 9.

Breaking down in tears she said she got 'no responses, no answers' from Andrew T. Cleckley Funeral Home in Flatlands following the grim discovery by officers on Wednesday. She told The New York Post: 'This is too much on humanity. I’m really hurt. I don’t even know what I’m looking for other than the fact that I expect to lay my mother down properly with respect and at a reasonable time.'

Authorities found two unrefrigerated U-Haul box trucks being used to store the bodies after police responded to 911 complaints from neighbors who had filmed body bags being dragged into the trucks.

Police found the bodies in various stages of decomposition; locals said 'you could smell the death'.

Bosses at U-Haul on Thursday slammed the use of their trucks as 'wrongful, egregious and inhumane'. They told TMZ: 'Our trucks are designed for household moves. Properly caring for the remains of people’s loved ones requires vehicles suited specifically for that purpose. Our trucks absolutely cannot be rented for this reason.'
