As our own Doug Powers reported earlier on Saturday, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker released "the worst statement in the history of statements" in reaction to Chicago Bears Chairman George H. McCaskey and President and CEO Kevin Warren's announcement that they would very likely be moving the team to a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana. There have been plenty of hot takes about the Bears moving out of Chicago, but President Barack Obama's van driver, Tommy Vietor, had perhaps the hottest. He believes Pritzker should just strip ownership of the team from the McCaskey family.
Pritzer should strip the team from the McCaskey family and give every Chicago resident a stake. https://t.co/bop6NNvHH6

So you’re a communist?

It’s a private business you absolute fucking retard.

That makes no difference to a communist.
True to form. Nice take, Mao.

Yep, whatever you do Democrats, don’t look in the mirror to see what you’re doing wrong. Just keep going pedal to the metal with full communism and socialism. That’ll work.

A reminder that the only thing stopping the left from seizing your property is a Supreme Court they attack as illegitimate for not letting them just do stuff https://t.co/ajNdREYlqO

Honestly I am 100% in favor of this because it would be the funniest economics lesson of all time https://t.co/KR7dENHjNH

We could pretend to own the team like Packers fans do

In other words, confiscate the private property like a communist would do after a revolution?

So go full communist dictator. Good idea. On what legal basis do you think that authoritarian move would even begin to fly in America.

This tweet is the perfect example of why nobody in America wants to do business with you communist fucks

That’s called theft. This is a very communistic idea. If you actually had competent political leaders, the Bears wouldn’t be leaving. Liberals always ruin everything.

Typical Obama acolyte response.

"You, you, you didn't build that."
The trip from Obama bro to straight up communist wasn't as far as we thought.

What do Chicagoans get with that stake in the team? Does it pay out like stock dividends? What happens when the team loses money?
