Shout out to my Governor, JB Pritzker. He knew what Trump was sooner, and pushed back harder

Than anyone not named Nancy Pelosi in America

JB understood that Trump was a piece of shit - If not immediately, at the very least, quicker than the vast majority of politicians.

JB remembers what this guy actually is, and will tell you

The video on the thread that I posted earlier went private on YouTube so it's good to know that Pritzker's message is receiving some coverage.
