We all knew that Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker was a huge evil guy (sorry Franklin, but I believe that’s the accurate medical term for it), but did you also know he’s some kind of Las Vegas gambling expert?
That’s right, according to Pritzker and his tax returns, he claims he won $1.4 million in Las Vegas and “just got lucky”!
Are you buying that?
Here’s Brett Baer asking them how they felt about winning $1.4 million:
Back up here if necessary:
,@BrettBaer: “Were you proud or embarrassed to announce a $1.4 million gambling win?”
Gov. Pritzker: “Oh, no one. It was just… I did what anyone would do if you’re telling the truth, OK? You pay your taxes. I’m really lucky that happened.” pic.twitter.com/x6sxDy8FkI

Here’s a different clip:
JB Pritzker lists highly suspicious $1.4M in “gambling winnings” in his tax returns.
“I was incredibly lucky… I love playing cards so I set up a charitable poker match that has raised millions of dollars for the Holocaust Museum.”
What??? He should be investigated. pic.twitter.com/1C524cPRu8

The Pritzker is reportedly worth $3.5 billion, so “winning” $1.4 million isn’t much compared to it, but I can’t even fathom how big a bet you’d have to make to get to $1.4 million – it’s almost unfathomable:
Illinois Governor, @GovPritzkerNot only is he weird and ugly obese, he is also retarded.
He used his DNC speech to mock Trump’s wealth and business acumen in comparison to his speech…
Pritzker, meanwhile, is worth $3.5 billion, much of which he inherited… pic.twitter.com/5vZd3wgfWu

The Governor of Illinois, @GovPritzker, is not only weird and disgustingly fat, he’s also retarded.
He used his DNC speech to mock Trump’s wealth and business acumen in comparison to his speech…
Meanwhile, as one of the heirs to the Hyatt hotel estate, Pritzker is worth $3.5 billion, having inherited everything.

JB’s only accomplishment β ββafter a lifetime of mediocre business endeavors, fake philanthropy and failed attempts to buy public office β was spending $200 million of his grandfather’s money to win his gubernatorial seat in 2018.
If you ask me, I’m not making any accusations here because I don’t know, but it does *feel* like something suspicious to me. Money laundering? Again, I’m not claiming this, I’m just saying that’s where my mind immediately went when I heard it for the first time.
Looks like Alex had a similar idea:
Sorry, but I don’t believe JB Pritzker made $1.4 million playing blackjack last year. This is very strange and needs to be investigated. https://t.co/rz1oTP52Kx

I miss all those expensive stores in Las Vegas where people never shop.
have you seen them?
I’ve literally never seen people in them and yet they’re affording prime Las Vegas rent?
Nothing adds up.
Which also reminds me of this principle:
But now let’s be fair and shed light on the other side of the story…
This guy over at Gutfeld offered a different explanation β much more boring and not at all reprehensible β and I have to say it makes a lot of sense.
See here:
The truth about how Pritzker won $1.4 million gambling. It’s not funny or sexy, but I bet that’s what it is. pic.twitter.com/SVd9PfVU42
