5. "Parents are CRYYYYYYYING!"

"So why won't you let them put their own children and everyone else's at rissssssk?????"

[Midnight Writer]

8. Thanks. That's easier for me to follow.

[orleans]

22. thanks. (i couldn't hear the "reporter") nt

[halfulglas]

40. Trouble is, it's not just the cable misinformation purveyors, but

There are the Sinclair group stations, etc. that are invested in keeping the RW themes going. Implying he's not doing a good job keeping the virus away but have to listen to the mothers with the crying children. Actually most little kids don't mind wearing the masks, especially when it's presented right. It's just another piece of clothing.

[NJCher]

51. correction

"supposed reporter." LOL.

I like his press person, too.

[orleans]

53. lol. you're right! nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. Thanks! . . . nt

3. I love this

people need to stop wasting time answering "reporters" whose sole reason for working is to get red meat for the fucked-up cult - ENOUGH already

[wnylib]

18. Absolutely! 100% agree.

[Mr. Evil]

25. Exactly!

Gotta keep the base stirred up. Wash, rinse, repeat.

[Skittles]

26. it's bad enough during normal times

but like he said, they are PUSHING MISINFORMATION that is DAMAGING TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH - it needs to STOP!!!

[Mr. Evil]

27. Could it be that a lot of these republican ghouls are invested in Regeneron?

Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment is available at hospitals. It's as if they want as many people as possible to get sick so that they'll see a massive return on their investment. I've read that Ron DeathSentence is. This is the only excuse I can understand as to why they want people to get sick with Covid-19.

Sick, disgusting and depraved. Anything for Big Money!

29. we know repukes care more about money than they do about people

way, WAY more

[luckone]

4. That's my Gov. ❤️happy to vote for him in primary and general election Stay strong governor

They are always attacking him so many haters why? because he is doing a good job imo

Translation: cut your BS you are harming people and that is pissing me off
Good on him

[dixiechiken1]

12. Ditto!

LOVE him, am proud to have voted for him and think he is doing an AMAZING job!

[ShazzieB]

34. Same here!

I heard him speak and got to meet him when he was running for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and I knew right then and there that he was the right person for the job. Voted for him in the primary and in the general,
and will gladly do it again. I think he's terrific!

[NJCher]

52. I have a governor like that

He called them "knuckleheads."

Phil Murphy.

[winstars]

6. Gov: Shut the fuck up, and thank you and goodnight!

[smirkymonkey]

7. I think he's one of the best governors in the country.

I'm very impressed by him.

[Progressive Jones]

38. He is one of the best. nt

[lees1975]

47. He absolutely is.

Illinois per-capita COVID rates, hospitalizations and positivity rates are lower than most of the red states because of the steps he has taken to protect people.

He's got my vote already.

[crickets]

9. Well done, Gov Pritzker. 💙

[spooky3]

10. And credit to his official (aide?) who called out the reporter first. nt

[luckone]

16. + 1 Yep no one up there was taking that reporter's crap .

[renate]

20. Absolutely!

She was awesome too!!!

[Leith]

11. Good

It's good that somebody finally told a lying propagandist to just quit it.

[Frasier Balzov]

13. Amy Jacobson works for Salem Radio.

She thinks she's burnishing her phony right-wing credentials by pestering the governor.

It's all due to a sense of insecurity about her job. She makes good money co-hosting the morning drive-time slot with true believer Dan Proft, who basically carries her and puts up with her lack of talent and intelligence.

Poor Amy. Pitiful stooge. She doesn't want to lose such a lucrative gig as an overpaid gadfly.

[wnylib]

19. I loved it when the aide called her

a "supposed reporter."

[Grumpy Old Guy]

14. She wasn't even asking a question.

She was telling the Governor what she thought he should do.

[reACTIONary]

49. +10 I noticed that also. nt

[Grumpy Old Guy]

55. Inexcusable for someone who claims to be a reporter.

[TlalocW]

15. Who was the reporter?

Amy something?

TlalocW

[Progressive Jones]

39. Amy Jacobson. Morning rw radio propagandist. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

17. Thanks JB & staffer

This needs to happen every time a RW spouts their BS.

[Schmice3]

21. Amy, as a supposed reporter....

hahahahahahahaha. Unable to feel the burn because she isn't self-aware.

[NBachers]

23. "Send me some studies"

[orleans]

24. i looked at her twitter feed

and, while she was being an asshole again, i sympathized with the parents she was talking about--because i would probably be a complete wreck too (sending my kid back to school with this fucking delta shit going on).

HOWEVER, she is an asshole. i thought she got kicked out from his pressers a year or so ago.

btw--another of her tweets says she believes in masks but thinks it should be left up to the parents. i disagree.

i work with kids. kids get covid and spread covid. and there are parents who, when given the choice, do not put a mask on their child--not even after the kid has had covid, parents who don't have the courtesy to mask up around other people's kids, etc etc. and i would bet there are parents who would send their covid positive child to school because they don't want to stay home from work.

[ShazzieB]

35. Yes.

"i would bet there are parents who would send their covid positive child to school"

And I would not bet against you, because I know you would win!

[tenderfoot]

28. Is this the same person?

https://www.arlingtoncardinal.com/2007/07/amy-jacobson-fired-for-bikini-meeting-with-craig-stebic-public-reaction/

[Gidney N Cloyd]

37. I think so. She was drummed out of the legitimate local news circles here long ago.

Of course when you're applying to work at WIND, you put that in bold text on your resume.

[dickthegrouch]

30. A better reply would be to bury her in stats that show the opposite

Show the stats from States that won’t and countries that can’t get vaccinations or masks around the world.
Show those graphs of rising infections.
Show the breakthrough infection rate.
No, Amy his job isn’t to calm them down, it’s to wake them up and scare them into doing the right thing for all of us. For as long as it takes.

[greenjar_01]

32. No, you don't disrupt an emergency meeting to teach basic science to somebody operating in bad faith

[dickthegrouch]

33. It's not just one somebody

It’s the entire right leaning population.
I’d invite the others to stay if they want to, but school her like the 5yo she wants to portray herself as.
Show the effects of the lies.
The only question she needs to answer is why as a supposed reporter she keeps looking at discredit reports and propaganda from people who can’t achieve positive results any other way.

[ananda]

31. Last year he got the PPE that Trump and Kushner ...

were trying to confiscate by sneaking it in under
the radar.

[FreepFryer]

36. She said "students are a low risk group" and no one was going to let her continue on that premise.nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

41. Deplorable ReichWing reporters believe most everyone is as ignorant as they are - big mistake.

[hamsterjill]

42. Love it!

We need more of this. Direct hit!

[ProfessorGAC]

43. Well Played, JB!

I particularly liked how he wouldn't let her complete her objections.
She'll go on the air & whine, but it's public record now that she is unserious & not concerned about Illinoisans as a whole.
A once great radio station now wallowing in their own filth, for a quarter century. Pathetic.

[Pepsidog]

45. I love this guy. He's rich but not an ass.

[lees1975]

46. He's MY Governor! Way to go!

Proud to be from Illinois.

[Cha]

48. Excellent! Rt TY & Gov Pritzker!

[Stuart G]

50. I have watched him deal with some tough crap. Pritzker has class. Complete ..."CLASS"

[Orrex]

54. I would have added "so go fuck yourself."

But that's probably why I'm not in politics.
