Good ole’ Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is at it again, this time calling for “mass protests” and “mobilization” by Democrats against Republicans. I’m not entirely sure, but judging by Mr. Pritzker’s current BMI, I’m assuming he means “mobilization” in more of a metaphorical sense rather than literal. But I could be wrong.
Speaking at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, Pritzker bellowed, “Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption, but I have now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and every microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.”
Wow. Very unifying, this one.
Pritzker was a holy terror during COVID, so the idea that he is trying to throw his hat in the ring for the presidential race is terrifying. Having Lockdown McGee as my commander-in-chief is not on my 2028 bingo card, and I’d like to keep it that way. Luckily for us, he seems to be seriously lagging behind other Democrat hopefuls, such as Gavin Newsom, or AOC. And let’s be real, Pritzker is probably used to lagging behind in races so this shouldn’t be too huge of a blow to him.
Watch Pritzker’s call for peace and understanding toward the other side:
