Column: Gov. Pritzker owns the botched care veterans got at state home – Lake County News-Sun*

"While Illinoisans mark Memorial Day, the administration of Gov. J.B. Pritzker has failed to fully explain how 36 state veterans died from COVID-19 in 2020. If the Democratic governor has a weakness for reelection, it is in the coronavirus massacre at the LaSalle Veterans Home. That is unless one counts the failure of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to ensure adequate care for those the agency is supposed to protect."

Crime of the century.

In a lawful society, Freddie Pritzker would face the music. Period.

He can run amok; lawless, corrupt, unchecked, criminal.

Good v Evil. It truly is.

Dead babies or dead veterans – both of these are wins for Pritzker

Pritzker was extremely vocal and critical of Rauner when veterans died of Legionnaires at the state run veterans home in Quincy, and the media ran with it all day long. More veterans died at the LaSalle veterans home under Pritzker and we don’t hear about that now. Whoever wins the Republican primary needs to make this a focal point, along with all Pritzker’s progressive policy BS that has doomed this state.

Are brave veterans, DCFS, IDES, and so on we’re is States attorney Raoul to investigate Pritzker how can this be allowed to happen. Pritzker must be punished for his actions and extreme malfeasance, if anything vote this BUM out of office come November 2022 maybe we can stop this some how some way.
