Feud Between Billionaires Ken Griffin and J.B. Pritzker Likely to Shape Illinois Governor’s Race – Wall Street Journal

“I told him to deploy the National Guard [in August 2020] and he goes, ‘It won’t look good for there to be men and women on Michigan Avenue with assault weapons,’ ” Mr. Griffin said. After Mr. Griffin’s comments, Mr. Pritzker’s office used the word liar to describe Mr. Griffin, who stood by his remarks. Jordan Abudayyeh, a spokeswoman for Mr. Pritzker, said the National Guard wasn’t deployed in August 2020 following Mr. Griffin’s suggestion. “The governor does not send soldiers into a city without the request of the mayor of that city,” she said.
