"To the Trump administration officials who are complicit in this scheme, to the public servants who have forsaken their oath to the Constitution to serve the petty whims of an arrogant little man, to any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous. We are watching and we are taking names."
"This country has survived darker periods than the one that we're going through right now, and eventually the pendulum will swing back, maybe even next year. Donald Trump has already shown himself to have little regard for the many acolytes that he has encouraged to commit crimes on his behalf. You can delay justice for a time, but history shows you cannot prevent it from finding you eventually."
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker delivered a forceful denunciation of federal actions perceived as attempts to incite violence in Chicago, calling out officials who betray their constitutional oaths. The governor warned that officials who try to use local unrest as a pretext for darker actions will be watched and recorded and promised eventual accountability. Pritzker framed the moment as part of a darker national period that will pass and asserted that those who encouraged crimes will ultimately face justice. A television commentator aired the speech and expressed enthusiastic approval of the governor's rhetoric.
