Pritzker to Trump: ‘Come and get me’

Um, you know as well as I do the president of the United States in the last 24 hours call for you to be imprisoned. Um, I want to give you an opportunity. We’ve seen your reaction on social media, but um, I want to hear what you have to say back to the president of the United States. Well, let’s start with the idea that this is a convicted felon. I mean, think about that. Who’s threatening to jail me? I got to say this guy’s unhinged. He’s insecure. He’s a wannabe dictator. And there’s one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me. What does that mean exactly, Governor? Do you believe that he would follow through or that he’ll chicken out? He basically said the same thing to Governor Gavin Newsome when I was with him at the height of the raids in the Los Angeles area. Governor Gavin Newsome is walking free on the streets of California. You think that he’ll chicken out or will he would he ever arrest you? Well, you know the expression Trump always chickens out taco. And I gotta say, he can’t arrest. We’ve done nothing wrong here. And very importantly, it’s Donald Trump that is breaching the Constitution, breaking the law. We’re taking him to court. And I believe we’re going to

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker spoke with MSNBC Senior Political and National Correspondent Jacob Soboroff in Chicago, where he responded to the president’s call for him to be jailed, saying Trump is “breaching the Constitution.”

  3. I'm surprised that Mike Johnson was put in the position he is. He is standing in the way of his Constitutional job, blocking a Democrat from being sworn in. He is under Trump's thumb for a reason, and doesn't want the Epstein file out. How many US Citizen, or US media outlet is not hammering the nail down on this criminal treacherous dereliction on the job is beyond me!!! He is constantly referring to his job as being told to do it Trump's way when he is in an entirely separate Branch!!! He is actively aiding and abetting a traitor in the White House!!! They are both equally cuppable in breaking their Constitutional Oaths!!! Get them out!!!

  18. The propaganda is sooo old. The Constitution was 'washed up and old white man document'. Today 'we are defending the Constitution' 😂

  20. Americans still trusting that their mediocre checks and balances will save them when their president simply ignores the law makes me want to scream at the screen.

  22. So right.the problem now is that DT has immunity so he cannot be sued and can brake the law without consequences. Well done the supreme court !
