Gov. JB Pritzker Urges Republican Critics To Stop ‘Pushing Stories’ About His Family’s Whereabouts; ‘There Are Threats To My Safety And To Their Safety’
Syndicated Local – CBS Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) — In the wake of questions about where his family has been staying during the statewide stay-at-home order, Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday said he’s been protective of his wife and children’s privacy, out of fear for their safety.
Last month, published reports revealed Pritzker’s wife and daughter had been staying at an estate they own in Florida, prompting critics to accuse the governor’s own family of flaunting the executive order he’d issued mandating people stay at home as much as possible, and avoid non-essential travel.
Pritzker had refused to answer questions on the issue until Friday, when he said his wife and daughter had been in Florida before he issued the stay-at-home order. The governor said they sheltered in place there until recently, when they returned home. He said they’re now at a “working farm†the family owns in Wisconsin, taking care of the horses there.
