What’s he going to do to address States Attorney Kim Foxx and her lack of holding violent offenders in jail or charging them with violet crimes!?!?!?!
Anyone who votes for any of the dem candidates for state wide office is a fool. Pritzker is a clown, but the even bigger fraud is Kwame Rauol. He has been even more invisible than Lisa Madigan
You’ll see Kwame pretty soon. Google just reported record earnings so he’ll try and get his hand in their pocket over some injustice to the citizens of Illinois. Funny thing is we never see a penny of it when they extort businesses.
I have nothing of value to add but gawd, I hope my neighbors can see through this. Pritzker is cringy. Just gross.
Was ted on for even 2 seconds? And unfotunately, I think 2 seconds a day is about avg time typical Illinois dullard voter spends thinking about the powers that shape their lives. Local tv news is a complete joke
And on top of that, they provide an alien telling everyone who will listen that Ted is “bad” and has bad motives. Sheesh
