Illinois GOP Chair Demands Criminal Investigation Into Gov. J.B. Pritzker for Incitement
Illinois Republican Party Chairwoman Kathy Salvi has called for a criminal investigation into Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker, accusing him of incitement following his recent remarks at a Democrat gathering in New Hampshire.
Gov. Pritzker’s unhinged remarks, which were captured on video and widely shared on social media, included a call for “mass protests,” “mobilization,” “disruption,” and denying Republicans “a moment of peace” under the Trump administration.
“It’s time to fight everywhere and all at once,” he said to loud applause from the audience.
“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now.”
“These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.”
”They need to know understand that we will fight their cruelty with every microphone and megaphone that we have.”
”We must castigate them at the soap box, then punish them at the ballot box.”
