Pritzker Melts Down After Trump Says He ‘Should Be In Jail’

Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who is widely believed to be positioning himself for a 2028 presidential run, lashed out at President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance during a Sunday appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”

Pritzker was asked by host George Stephanopoulos, following an appearance by Vance on the same program, about remarks Trump made last week on social media, where he wrote that the governor and Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson “should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.”

In comments made to reporters on Wednesday, Pritzker essentially dared Trump to try and arrest him, saying, “Come and get me.” The governor expounded on those remarks with Stephanopoulos.

“Well, you heard a tidal wave of lies from the vice president of the United States. It’s a bit shocking, and you heard over and over again, him just making things up on national television with you,” Pritzker began.

“You know, there is a reason why the judge here in federal court said that the administration lacks credibility and why even the Nobel Prize committee chair said that the administration lacks integrity. This administration, led by a 34-time convicted felon, is threatening to jail people who are their political opponents,” he added without addressing the fact that the Biden administration and Democratic prosecutors tried to jail Trump.
