* Gov. Pritzker held a press conference at a farm near Rockford today. As he was answering a question, a donkey began to bray. The governor was addressing a serious topic so he kept right on going as if nothing was happening. Have a listen…
I dunno why exactly I posted this, but I started laughing out loud when I heard it today and kept playing it again and again and thought you might need a chuckle, too.

There also was a very funny moment when the donkey screamed just as the local state rep was introduced.

Never cede the microphone to an ass

The donkey was obviously a member of the eastern bloc.

Governor speaks after donkey brays: “I won’t comment on my opponent’s outburst at this time…”

Which Democrat was it doing the braying?

Have to admit - highlight of my morning, when I heard that. I desperately needed a giggle at that point.

Couple years early for a gubernatorial debate, but OK.

Not the first donkey the get a sound bite and play, at a press conference. Unfortunately it won’t be the last..

This fills in for the soundbites that won’t be coming from the Illinois State Fair

Maybe the Democratic party symbol was trying to give him some advice.

Can’t we just find this funny for what it I’d an not make it into a political joke?

As usual, the elephant stayed away when the work needed to be done.

Pritzker solidifies the barnyard vote…

All the jokes I wanted to make have already been made by others. Suffice it to say that I got a much needed hee-haw.

Who “goosed” The Speaker???

LOL this sounds like a fake Mancow clip

I put the brays into google translate, and got this back:
“Windmill or no windmill, life would go on as it had always gone on - that is, badly.”

Thank you. Not quite as good as an Oscar pic, but much-needed.

Hey, that donkey’s supposed to be on our side! What happened to party unity?

Literally thought this headline meant that Bailey interrupted Pritzker at this presser
Comment by LakeCo Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:02 pm
I think that sounded much more like a jackass than a donkey.
Also way more likely for a jackass to blend in at a Pritzker press conference

Lucky Pierre, you sound bitter.
I thought the clip was cute and funny.

===Lucky Pierre, you sound bitter.===
You must be new here…

I would defer to LP on what a jackass sounds like.

I thought the headline was a metaphor until I clicked on it. Too funny!
