Gov. JB Pritzker

Yes, and more convenient.

Absolutely.

And, you know, I remember many years ago when I worked in Congress, I was a kid in my 20s.

And I remember there was a congressman who was railing against the LGBTQ community on the floor of the House.

And it was day in and day out and, you know, calling it evil and, you know, just really going after people.

And then a few months later, it turned out, oh, no, he's gay.

Right.

So that that reminds me that whenever you hear anybody really loudly condemning something, this is very true of Donald Trump, I might add.

It is often the case that when he is attacking somebody on some basis, it's usually because what he's saying is really about him.

Oh, you went right at it, Jennifer.

Look, I'm flattered that people have talked about it, and I honestly have not been able to answer that question because I don't know.

I'm running for reelection as governor, and it's an unusual thing because in Illinois anyway, even though we have no limits on the number of terms that you can serve, it's very unusual for anybody to run for a third term.

As governor, I think I would be the second person ever to do that.

So I'm focused on winning reelection for that.

But, you know, I don't want to give too many words around it, except to say that I am deeply concerned about what's happening to the country and I'm doing everything I can.

with the platform that I have to speak out about it.

You know, indeed, I would say that, you know, a lot of, maybe you heard about a year ago, I think it got a lot of national play when I talked about defending Illinois and the fact that we're living in a world that looks a whole lot like the early 30s in Germany.

Yeah.

And, you know, people on the right, you know, attacked me and said, how dare you?

How dare you?
