Illinois governor on airport chaos: 'Federal government needs to get its s@#t together'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker had stern words for the White House on Saturday night as reports flooded in about lengthy lines and overcrowding at airports as travelers attempted to get into the U.S. amid new coronavirus-imposed screenings.

Pritzker criticized President Donald Trump and his administration on Twitter as the new screenings were implemented for those returning to the U.S. from abroad. The governor called the lines at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago “unacceptable,” adding that Twitter appeared to be the only “communication medium” the president pays attention to.

“The federal government needs to get its s@#t together. NOW,” Pritzker wrote.

Americans have been forced to cut vacations short and re-book flights home this weekend as Europe continues to lock down towns and cities amid the spread of coronavirus. Additionally, Trump announced Wednesday that he would ban many foreign travelers from Europe for the next 30 days.

1. our governors need to do what they can

i do not think we can depend on a meaningful federal response until trump is gone.

2. Though they don't have control over US Customs

Or TSA.

I think our state and local officials are doing everything they can. Governor Pritzger is doing a bang-up job. But many things are outside his purview.

4. Our Gov is capable of telling trump FU and mobilize OUR NG and emergency sevices and take
