Illinois Governor JB Pritzker recently appeared on MSNBC with Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary for Joe Biden and pushed conspiracy theories about President Trump with zero pushback from the host.
Pritzker claimed that Trump does not want to send National Guard troops to Chicago to help deal with crime or even to help ICE arrest illegal aliens, but because he wants to ‘set the stage to interfere in future elections.’

In another segment from the same interview, Pritzker pats himself on the back for the supposedly great job he and other leaders have done in reducing crime, despite the bloodbath that happened in Chicago just last weekend. Not how Jen Psaki nods along, offering no pushback whatsoever.

Pritzker is putting his political ambitions ahead of the safety of the people of Chicago. He knows that if he isn’t perceived as fighting everything Trump does, the base of the Democrat party will turn on him instantly.
In this way, Democrats are being held hostage by the base of their own party, and outlets like MSNBC are making the problem worse.
