Rules for thee and not for me. Get the blacks under control.

This culture of corruption has infiltrated the governor’s mansion, with
four of Illinois’ past 10 governors spending time in federal prison. An
additional two governors were prosecuted for wrongdoing but acquitted at
trial. Even current Gov. J.B. Pritzker has come under federal
investigation for a toilet removal scheme that resulted in property tax
breaks at one of his Gold Coast mansions.

The Pritzkers have done a lot of damage to Illinois. The fat pig of a
governor and the tranny piece of shit Jennifer Pritzker hate Americans.
