Since the lazy botoxed drunk Nancy Pelosi decided to call Trump morbidly obese, I think we’ll start using the same adjective to describe the Democrat governor of Illinois J.B. Pritzker. Seems the Illinois pig Pritzker owns a financial stake in companies doing COVID-19 testing, and he may be financially benefiting from it. As usual most media is ignoring this story, except surprisingly Fox News who are little more than CNN Light these days. This should reveal why the morbidly obese governor of Illinois has been whining so much about Trump. He needs to make more money off this virus. All while he’s putting COVID-19 infected people back into nursing homes and killing off the older population in Illinois. Leave it to the communist Democrats to profit off the death and sickness of Americans.

Republicans in Illinois are crying foul that Gov. J.B. Pritzker could be financially benefiting from the coronavirus pandemic following reports that his family’s investment firm has a stake in two companies doing tests for the contagion.
Illinois GOP Chairman Tim Schneider said in a statement to Fox News that the Pritzker Group – the family firm run by the governor’s brothers – “controls the companies that are making millions off the pandemic” and called on the Illinois Democrat to divest any interest he had with the firm.

“Let’s be clear – Governor Pritzker and his family are clearly profiting off the COVID-19 crisis, and it’s appalling,” Schneider said. “The Pritzker Group controls the companies that are making millions off the pandemic, and the Governor stands to make huge profits.”
The two companies in question are PathGroup, an anatomic, clinical and molecular pathology company that Pritzker’s private capital firm invested in, and Cue Health, a health care technology company that received funding from Pritzker’s venture capital firm. Both companies have recently announced either the development of tests or plans to develop tests to detect COVID-19. This comes as Pritzker’s administration pushes to expand testing as part of the state’s phased reopening plan.
While neither company has received a contract to conduct testing from the state of Illinois, Cue Health in late March was awarded a $13 million contract by the federal government to develop a test for the novel coronavirus.
