<p style="font-weight: 400;">Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker, apparently beginning his quest for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, called for “mass protests” and “disruption” in an evident attempt to outflank any other prospective candidate in rhetoric targeting the Trump administration.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">An <a href="https://www.racetothewh.com/president/2028/dem#google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average of recent polls</a> of prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidates found that former Vice President Kamala Harris led with 27.1%, followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 16.1%, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at 12.9%, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker at 8.6%, and California Governor Gavin Newsom at 7.9%. Pritzker ranked 10<sup>th</sup> with 3.2%.</p>

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.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In February, Pritzker seemingly implied that the Trump administration was like Nazis in his <a href="https://www.nprillinois.org/government-politics/2025-02-19/read-gov-pritzkers-budget-address" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State of the State Address</a>, saying he was “watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. &#8230; Here’s what I’ve learned — the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed — a seed of distrust and hate and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.” Chicago’s WTTW, a National Public Radio outlet, <a href="https://news.wttw.com/2025/02/19/pritzker-compares-trump-administration-s-approach-nazi-germany-during-state-budget">reported</a>, ”Pritzker Compares Trump Administration’s Approach to Nazi Germany During State Budget Address.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In June 2022, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illinois-gov-pritzker-billionaire-family-at-forefront-of-radical-gender-ideology-push-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jb-pritzker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker</a> and his powerful <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/pritzker/?sh=53c2d1f170f2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">billionaire family</a>, including his transgender <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/jennifer-pritzker/?sh=52e350e25808" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cousin</a>, are at the forefront of pushing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">radical gender ideology</a> in schools and medical facilities, according to a <a href="https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/billionaire-family-pushing-synthetic-sex-identities-ssi-pritzkers">new report</a>.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>The family, whose fortune was built on the Hyatt hotel chain, includes the governor, former Obama administration Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and philanthropist Jennifer Pritzker, who was born a male and served in the Illinois National Guard. An exhaustive report from <a href="https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/billionaire-family-pushing-synthetic-sex-identities-ssi-pritzkers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tablet magazine</a> details how the wealthy family uses its philanthropic operation to “drive an ideology and practice of disembodiment into our medical, legal, cultural, and educational institutions.”</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>“Through investments in the techno-medical complex, where new highly medicalized sex identities are being conjured, Pritzkers and other elite donors are attempting to normalize the idea that human reproductive sex exists on a spectrum,” writes Jennifer Bilek.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2020, during the COVID pandemic, Pritzker threatened business owners who defied his stay-at-home order with jail time.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The governor&#8217;s office &#8220;filed an emergency rule that would penalize owners of restaurants, bars, gyms, barbershops and other businesses for reopening before coronavirus restrictions are lifted,&#8221; <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/498263-illinois-business-owners-could-face-fine-jail-time-for-reopening-in" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill reported</a>. The emergency rule made reopening early a &#8220;class A misdemeanor,&#8221; which, in Illinois, carried with it a fine of up to $2,500 and up to a year in jail.</p>
