Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker rattled Republicans by urging Democrats to “mobilize.”
Summary
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker urged Democrats to protest nationwide so "Republicans cannot know a moment of peace" during a New Hampshire speech.
His call for mass mobilization drew standing applause but ignited outrage from MAGA supporters. Elon Musk called the remarks "crazy," while conservatives accused Pritzker of inciting violence and even treason.
Pritzker also criticized Democrats for political timidity, asserting “the reckoning is finally here.”
His fiery tone fueled speculation about a 2028 presidential bid as he seeks re-election in Illinois next year.
It always blows my mind that Pritzker seems to be consistently on the right side of history. Have we done it? Have we found the mythical 'good' billionaire? 'cuz he's done a pretty great job as governor of my state and I'll happily vote for him again if I get the chance.
He's a governor from Illinois. Be neither disappointed nor surprised should he find himself in prison. They've got an impressive track record for picking future felons.
