Dems Ratchet Up the Incitement As JB Pritzker Calls for 'Disruption' - Then It Gets Worse

"In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," Alfred Lord Tennyson said.

The left puts a different spin on the old saying because it seems that in the spring, their thoughts sometimes turn to protests and riots. We've seen that over the years, including in 2020.

Now, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) is whipping up people on the left. He's running in 2028 even if he isn't saying it yet. At a fundraiser in New Hampshire, he encouraged people "to fight, everywhere, all at once,” blasting "do nothing" Democrats. He then called for "mass protests" and "disruption."

“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption, but I am now,” he said to cheers. Then he made it even worse.

"These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace! They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.”

Shades of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and her infamous speech against Trump officials.

Pritzker also reportedly said Republicans' pictures would be put in museums "reserved for tyrants and traitors."

This is all very dangerous and inciting language; it sounds like he's encouraging violence. This is a guy who wants to run for president? Why would anyone on the right or in the middle vote for this? Why would anyone, except the most rabid, deluded leftist?

After Democrats whipped up the language against Elon Musk, you had crazy leftists committing terrorist attacks against Tesla. After Democrats whipped up language against Republicans on healthcare, you had the GOP baseball practice shooting. After Waters' language, you had GOP officials harassed.

Illinois House Assistant Minority Leader John M. Cabello blasted Pritzker's language as "disgusting hate speech from a disgraceful man."

Pritzker is not the only Democrat using such language. A few days ago, Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) called upon people to "threaten" Congress. She said they needed an "uprising" and people in the streets. And "traitors" may be a new word they're trying out since Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) used that, too, during his ridiculous 12-hour sit-in with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).

Pritzker even ominously threatened to hold people "responsible."

“We’re going to hold people responsible. They can’t just get away with what they’re doing right now,” Pritzker said. “Anybody that’s breaking the law, anybody that’s breaching the Constitution as a regular matter of the way they run their offices, those people all should be investigated if they are breaking the law. ... Think about the privacy of Social Security and Medicaid records and all of that DOGE went in and just breached, as if that’s OK. How about IRS records, right? I mean, all of that.”

That's an insane take and another reason why they should never be given power again.

In addition to the inciting language against Republicans, Pritzker may have taken a potshot at California Gov. Gavin Newsom, another likely 2028 candidate.

He also took a shot at other Democrats' "flocking to podcasts," without singling anyone out. California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently launched his own podcast, which has generated some controversy inside the party.
"What I find ironic about the current conversation surrounding our party," Pritzker said, "is that the voices flocking to podcasts and cable news shows to admonish fellow Democrats for not caring enough about the struggles of working families are the same ones who, when it comes to relieving the struggles of real people, have been timid, not bold

So, prepare for the battle when those two lock horns.

Democrats need to stop and condemn Pritzker's language.

But I know they won't.
