Gov. JB Pritzker letting it rip during remarks at IL Dems event this morning: On RFK Jr.: "A weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in the backseat of his car" On Pete Hegseth: "A washed-up Fox TV commentator who drank too much and committed sexual assault"
Pritzker: "Now if it sounds like I’m becoming contemptuous of the MAGA Republicans in Washington – it’s because I am. They are an affront to every value this country was founded upon."
Good shit.
Pritzker: "Winning elections is partly about messaging and strategy but it's mostly about values and delivering on them, and our values are exactly where they ought to be. So, it’s time to stop apologizing when we’re not wrong."
Good fucking shit!
Pritzker: "It’s time to stop surrendering when we need to fight. And yes folks, we are messing with Texas."
Pritzker: "Folks over the last six months it seems like there’s always someone who wants to dissect what went wrong for Democrats on the national stage in the 2024 elections..."
Pritzker: "There are books and op eds and resurrected ghosts of past Democratic campaigns showing up on Fox News and on CNN; Substacks by anyone with a computer and an opinion. Tortured monologues across social media and TV..."
Pritzker: "The pity party, the circular firing squad, the think tank brainstorming sessions – they just need to be over."
Pritzker: "Since the dawn of the Republican, political parties have won and lost elections and then won again and that’s what’s going to happen to us in 2026."
Pritzker: "And what I’ll say to those who are wondering, what’s next for the Democratic Party, is this: she’s alive and well, and stronger than ever, right here, living in the great state of Illinois."
Pritzker: "Ours is a story that doesn’t have a cult telling us what to believe or sycophants telling us what to say or a king telling us what to do."
The GOP in 2029:
