JB Pritzker Calls For 'Mass Protests' From Democrats In Blistering Speech—And MAGA Is Fuming

Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker urged Democrats to take matters in their own hands during a fiery speech in New Hampshire, remarking that "Republicans cannot know a moment of peace."

A speech by Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker appears to have triggered Elon Musk and other members of Republican President Donald Trump's MAGA movement.

During a speech in New Hampshire, Governor Pritzker called for mass protests against the Trump regime.


He told the crowd:

"It’s time to fight everywhere and all at once."
"Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption, but I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace."
"They must understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have."

But Musk and MAGA mischaracterized Governor Pritzker promoting acts of civil disobedience as threats of violence. But considering the events of January 6, 2021, it's unsurprising they don't understand the difference.

Or maybe they're just trying to negate the governor's message or nursing their own hurt feelings.

Pritzker told the New Hampshire crowd:

"We have a Secretary of Education who hates teachers and schools. We have a Secretary of Transportation who hates public transit."
"We have an Attorney General who hates the Constitution. We have a Secretary of State, the son of naturalized citizens, a family of refugees, on a crusade to expel our country of both."
"We have a head of the Department of Government Efficiency, an immigrant granted the privilege of living and working here, a man who has made hundreds of billions of dollars after the government rescued his business for him, who is looking to destroy the American middle class to fund tax cuts for himself."
"And we have a President who claims to love America, but who hates our military so much that he calls them losers and suckers, and who can't be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. Soldiers."

Musk, who was personally called out by Pritzker, commented "Crazy" on his social media platform X in response to a post by anonymous right-wing account End Wokeness.

Musk, who like Trump is known to create accounts to boost messages from his official account, appear more popular, or praise himself, may or may not be connected to End Wokeness. The account has 3.6 million followers and is dedicated to misrepresenting and targeting progressive politics.

Trump's longtime advisor Stephen Miller chimed in as well.

And the rest of the MAGAsphere joined in.

On Monday, Governor Pritzker said violence is not what he meant.

"I called for people to take out their megaphones and their microphones, to stand up on the soap boxes and get to the ballot box."

Pritzker had also told the gathering of New Hampshire Democrats:

"It’s time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don't know how to organize a group chat."
"It's time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy and wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children's cancer research."
"And time to stop thinking that we can reason or negotiate with a madman."

It's time to take to the street, Democrats. Make your voice heard.

Former 'Jimmy Kimmel' Writer Epically Fires Back At 'Bruised Skin' Trump In Blistering Congressional Testimony

Bess Kalb, a former writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, criticized President Donald Trump during a hearing on Capitol Hill called “Silencing Dissent: The First Amendment Under Attack,” saying the president is the program's "best and worst audience" with "inexplicably bruised" and "very thin" skin.

Kalb's appearance is no accident given how much Jimmy Kimmel Live! has offended Trump's sensibilities over the years—and how he tried to pull it off the air last year.
