Pritzker's irony

Posted April 14, 2020 1:00 am

I see our Gov. Pritzker giving updates on COVID-19, announcing the number of deaths along with new cases. This is important and I understand why. The thought occurred to me, I've never seen him give weekly updates on the number of senseless shooting deaths in our state (especially Chicago) that occur on a regular basis. Why aren't the senseless shooting deaths as important to him as the COVID-19 deaths? Maybe he should ask for federal help like he does now. He can't hide from the facts that his state has so many senseless deaths related to crime infested communities.

Report that daily, Governor. He also defies the president regarding ICE and illegal immigrants, but he now whines for federal help. He and Gov. Cuomo are two of a kind. Wannabe leaders.
