It's Time Again to Crank Up the Cringe-O-Meter: JB Pritzker Is 'Governor-Maxxing'

We're not exactly sure why Democrat governors in America seem to be in a race to determine which one of them sucks the worst at social media. They just are.

For a very long time, Gavin Newsom was the clear frontrunner, particularly with his 'Press Office' account. But then Kathy Hochul got a Press Office account of her own. And Katie Hobbs decided to post about drinking a beer without knowing the name of the beer. And Gretchen Whitmer's intern decided to take credit for posting seven years of failure on social media. And Tim Walz ...

... Well, let's face it. The less said about Tim Walz, the better (particularly when it comes to horses).

As for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, we thought it could never get worse than that time he decided that he was a Star Wars Jedi.

Ye Gods! It's enough to make anyone want to join the Dark Side.

However, we blame ourselves for believing that Pritzker could ever hit rock bottom. Like most on the Left, he has no floor.

We apologize to our readers, but it is our unfortunate obligation to inform everyone that the worst chief executive in Illinois history is now 'Governor-maxxing.'

Yep, we saw it, so now you have to:

Oh, and he's also 'aura farming' because he apparently wants to make everyone on X die from the utter cringe of it all.

JB Pritzker did not just seriously post this hours ago?!!

Are we on a game of punk’d?

What is happening right now? I can’t stop laughing.

Reminds me of the go max bs Candace pushes.

Bro. You are an embarrassment. Just full stop right now. https://t.co/PFlyUGpSIW

Someone on your media team hates you, but I appreciate them.

“JB, you need to start posting dramatic content that focuses on your looks. It’s as clear as day.”
“Idk, I’m pretty fat and unappealing. Are you sure?”
“Yepp. You bet.”

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the room with Pritzker and his social media interns.

Meep.

All kidding about Pritzker's looks (and sheer size) aside, there are plenty of reasons why the governor shouldn't be using his X account for his narcissistic fails.

This is literally what is happening on the streets of Chicago on a nightly basis by Black teens.

You are a joke.

He even lost the storied Chicago Bears to Indiana.

Instead of 'governor-maxxing,' there's a much better list of what Pritzker has been 'maxxing' during his tenure (not counting all the restaurant buffets).

Gov. Pritzker's record speaks for itself:

Property-tax-maxxing
Property-tax-task-force-maxxing
State-and-local-tax-burden-maxxing
Cell-phone-tax-maxxing
Gas-tax-hike-maxxing
Automatic-tax-indexing-maxxing
Toll-hike-maxxing
State-spending-growth-maxxing
Pension-debt-maxxing…

This is a long list, but a worthwhile one. Here is the rest of it:

... Fiscal-instability-maxxing
Worst-bond-rating-maxxing
Financial-report-delay-maxxing
Financial-secrecy-maxxing
Government-bloat-maxxing
Corporate-welfare-maxxing
Megaproject-tax-break-maxxing
Hyatt-tax-windfall-maxxing
CTA-bailout-maxxing
Road-fund-raiding-maxxing
SNAP-error-rate-maxxing
School-choice-killing-maxxing
Political-spending-maxxing
Third-term-maxxing
Blaming-everyone-else-maxxing

Governor Pritzker has made Illinois #1 in all the wrong ways.

Don't forget 'murderous illegal alien-maxxing.'

The family of Sheridan Gorman won't ever forget that one.

Given his record of failure as governor, and that he has his own gravitational field, the mere fact that Pritzker posted this ad without realizing how it would turn out for him proves that President Trump was right when he called Pritzker a 'stupid governor' (and a slob) in June.

Those who hate Trump inevitably try to become Trump, and it never goes well. https://t.co/SRRvKPwTbI

We're hard-pressed to think of how it possibly could have gone any worse.

There is a contest between JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom for who can post the most cringe content between now and their respective 2028 campaign launches.

Gavin, can’t wait to see how you top this: https://t.co/mDjIoxADsB

PLEASE do not dare him. You know he will accept the challenge.

But if nothing else, this latest bit of 'governor-maxxing' cringe from Pritzker proves that he doesn't have the judgment necessary to run a lemonade stand, let alone a state. Or a country.
