Pritzker discusses possibility of Trump sending National Guard to Chicago – NBC5 (Chicago)

“Calling out the National Guard on U.S. soil against U.S. citizens and residents is very unusual,” he said. “It is really supposed to be reserved for a true rebellion or insurrection. I understand that the president of the United States often breaches the Constitution and doesn’t follow the law. The fact is that we have to rely upon the courts to rule on what’s best.”

PIGSTER lies when his lips are moving . Trump WASN’T hurt POLITICALY in the U.S. . Maybe California but red states and 77 million people agree with getting rid of the ILLEGAL INVADERS . For the supposedly BALANCED BUDGET another LIE . Shorted the PENSION FUNDS AGAIN . Stole money from Fuel tax fund . And as usual ACCOUNTANT magic .

Like Bass, Newsome and others lacking any backbone, when your local elected officials won’t acknowledge or try to prevent acts of violence against the law abiding, it’s time for the adults to take over. These clowns apparently learned nothing from the Summer of Floyd.
