JB Pritzker Statement on Trump's First Visit to Illinois as President

Statement

Today, JB Pritzker released the following statement on Donald Trump's first visit to Illinois as president:

"I want to make one thing very clear to Donald Trump: your hate, division and fear are not welcome in Illinois," said JB Pritzker. "Pitting communities against each other and dismantling the rights and protections Americans rely on to survive is a disgrace to our country's highest office. And while Bruce Rauner will be nowhere to be found today, Illinoisans know their cowardly governor has stood in lockstep with this president's attacks on healthcare and attempts to undermine working families across our state. While Rauner has been everything from Trump's silent partner to his biggest cheerleader, when I'm governor, Illinois will be a firewall against this administration's devastation."
