Illinois Governor Says Trump Aide 'Yelled' At Him For Complaint On Airport Chaos

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) was looking for help from the Trump administration to deal with Chicago’s dangerously crowded O’Hare Airport amid stepped-up screening for the coronavirus ― crowds that made impossible the social distancing urged by health officials.

Instead, Pritzker said an aide to President Donald Trump “yelled at me about the tweet” the governor had posted complaining about the situation.

“Here’s what I got. I got a call at about 11:00 last night after that tweet from a White House staffer who yelled at me about the tweet. That is what I got,” Pritzker said when asked on NBC’s “Meet The Press” about any “reassurance” he received from the Trump administration.

An unnamed White House source insisted to the Washington Examiner: “There was no yelling.”

that seems to be the only way to communicate with him. It is the only way to get his attention

JB was blunt in his tweets. JB does not pull any punches. And he is out there in person every day, communicating with the people of Illinois in a coherent manner.
