Following Governor Pritzkers State of the State Address in Springfield Wednesday, State Representative Brad Fritts was not happy with what he heard.
He admitted that the governor began the address with somethings he actually agreed with. He then said the speech turned into one of the most reprehensible speeches he has ever heard.
Fritts said, “What I find most reprehensible about the Governor’s remarks today was when he likened Republicans to Nazis. I, for one, am sick and tired of the same rhetoric, deceit, and blame that comes from the majority party in Illinois. The Governor wants to criticize what he refers to as an ‘authoritarian regime’. Perhaps the Governor has short-term memory loss concerning his own actions during the Covid-19 Pandemic.”
“The budget address today makes one thing abundantly clear: JB Pritzker is running for President. Illinoisans deserve a Governor who is committed to improving the lives of our everyday hardworking citizens rather than using our highest office to promote the political ambitions of an out-of-touch billionaire.” Says Fritts.
He went on to say, “We have plenty of issues to focus on here in Illinois first, such as our $425 million deficit and rampant crime.”
