The left aren’t backing down. That’s bad news for America.
And this blue state governor doubled down on hateful rhetoric aimed towards the Trump White House.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is at it again, dragging the American people through the mud with wild N*zi comparisons aimed squarely at President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
On Monday’s episode of CNN’s Inside Politics, the deep-pocketed Democrat doubled down on his inflammatory rhetoric instead of walking it back like a responsible leader should.
The governor defended his earlier remarks from the State of the State address, where he likened the Trump administration’s early moves to the rapid collapse of Germany’s Weimar Republic in the 1930s.
“What I was talking about was the fact that a constitutional republic was torn apart in 53 days in Germany in the 1930s, and that we need to watch out for that in this country,” Pritzker insisted.
He went further, claiming that events over the past year have validated his dark warnings about attacks on democratic institutions by Republicans and Trump himself.
This is the same governor who loves to lecture the rest of the country from his mansion in Illinois, a state plagued by crime, high taxes, and failing cities under long Democratic control. Yet here he is, fear-mongering about fascism while his own backyard crumbles.
Pritzker’s strategy seems clear: smear the America First movement with the most extreme historical analogies possible to rally his base and distract from policy failures.
Pritzker tried to soften his tone by acknowledging rising political tensions. He noted “an uptick of violence, on both sides, that has been against Republicans and Democrats, over the last, let’s say, eight to twelve years.”
On the surface, that sounds balanced. But he quickly pivoted back to his favorite target, pinning the blame for aggressive rhetoric primarily on one side.
“Remember that it’s been Donald Trump and the Republicans that have called for political violence,” Pritzker claimed.
He rattled off examples, including Trump’s old rally comments about handling protesters roughly and suggestions of harsh penalties for figures like Gen. Mark Milley.
The governor also pointed to Trump’s calls to investigate or jail political opponents, including himself. In Pritzker’s telling, Trump “slips into that mode so easily.”
Yet this selective outrage ignores the mountain of leftist incitement over the years—from Antifa riots and CHAZ zones to constant demonization of Trump supporters as deplorables, racists, and worse.
Assassination attempts on the president didn’t happen in a vacuum. The corporate media and Democratic elites spent years fueling division, only to clutch pearls when the public pushes back.
