Illinois Gov Pritzker Calls for Mass Protests Against Republicans

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called for mass protests, mobilization, and disruption against Republicans, stating that 'these Republicans cannot know a moment of peace' during a speech in New Hampshire. His remarks, which drew enthusiastic applause from Democratic supporters, urged fighting Republican policies with all available means, including public protest and electoral action. Pritzker's comments have sparked criticism from Republican figures and Donald Trump Jr., who accused him of inciting violence, particularly in the context of recent assassination attempts against former President Trump. While Pritzker emphasized political opposition at the ballot box, his rhetoric has been compared to previous calls for aggressive activism by other Democratic leaders. The speech is seen by some as an effort to raise his national profile ahead of a possible presidential run. The controversy highlights increasing polarization and escalating rhetoric in American politics.
