By now, Americans should realize that there are two sets of rules during the current version of America Held Hostage: The Coronavirus Edition.
While Americans are getting summoned to court for having the audacity to work out or wind surf on an open ocean, the ruling class is playing by their own rules. The latest example of hypocrisy comes courtesy of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Of course, hypocrisy is nothing new to Pritzker. Back in April when Pritzker was asked about rumors that his wife and daughter were not in Illinois but in fact were in Florida, Pritzker became defensive, no make that combative.
"My official duties have nothing to do with my family. So, I’m not going to answer that question. It’s inappropriate and I find it reprehensible."
Now back to your corner, serfs!
This past Friday, Pritzker finally admitted that his wife and daughter were in Florida at an "equestrian farm" that he owns there. He says they were allegedly there prior to his stay-at-home order issued in March.
Equestrian farm? Wonder how many of the hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents currently forced out of work by Pritzker own equestrian farms? But I digress.
Pritzker’s latest case of thumbing his nose at Illinois residents was uncovered this week by Fox 32 Chicago. According to the news outlet, Pritzker has a huge construction project going on at a horse farm he owns in Wisconsin.
Wait a minute...equestrian estate in Florida, horse farm in Wisconsin? Just like his constituents, right?
