Braying donkey tries, fails to interrupt Pritzker’s Q&A

Posted in:

* 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.

15. 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.

17. LOL this sounds like a fake Mancow clip

    Comment by Boone's is Back Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 2:57 pm

18. 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.”

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

    Comment by notsosure Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:00 pm

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

    Comment by Benjamin Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:02 pm

21. Literally thought this headline meant that Bailey interrupted Pritzker at this presser

    Comment by LakeCo Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:02 pm

22. 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

    Comment by Lucky Pierre Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:09 pm

23. Lucky Pierre, you sound bitter.

    I thought the clip was cute and funny.

    Comment by Cheswick Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:26 pm

24. ===Lucky Pierre, you sound bitter.===

    You must be new here…

    Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:31 pm

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

    Comment by Henry Francis Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:44 pm

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

    Comment by Andrea Durbin Thursday, Jul 16, 20 @ 3:46 pm

27. I knew I recognized that voice, it “triggered, the democrat donkey.” search facebook
