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.
I’ve yet to receive a check from George Soros, yet Elon is running around writing checks left and right. I’d call hypocrisy, but words are wind to whiny abusers like him. Once you flout their power they have nothing but tantrums to throw.
Pretending to do so or actually paying people doesn’t change the fact that he’s a disingenuous, hypocritical asshole decrying anyone who disagrees with his regressive and draconian world view a “paid protester”. I’m still waiting on my Soros bucks.
Reminder: they’re looking for a reason to enact Martial Law and ‘legally’ deploy US troops against it’s citizens. Painting what is likely to be peaceful protests as “crazies inciting violence” before they’ve even ramped up is a purposeful decision.
Given how much these clowns project I'd say it's highly probable that Musk is thinking about how much of a Russian asset he is and how much treason he's personally perpetrating.
Do it J.B. I want him to do for this nation what he's done for Illinois. I'm not a fan of billionaires in general, but Pritzker has been absolutely amazing for Illinois. I could not ask for a better candidate.
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.
And barring anything else this is absolutely enough for me to vote for the guy in the next election. I’m sick of do-nothing democrats being all milquetoast.
A democratic leader calling for action? Wanting more? Standing up for what’s right? Yes please, and thank you!
My parents said they’ve been attending protests…I said that’s great but have you been in contact with your congress critters?…They don’t even know who their rep is…The boomers need a direct education in direct democracy, because they have been de-educated and effectively neutralized on this account.
