Now that California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been neutered by the FEMA wildfire money that Donald Trump holds over his head and has been relegated to hosting a MAGA-curious podcast, other Democrats have had to step into the role of attack dog.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker — floated as a possible vice presidential running mate for Kamala Harris last year — has gladly accepted his new role.
As Trump marked the first 100 days of his second term, Pritzker snarled and bit hard — leaving teeth marks on just about everyone in the administration and the Republican Party.
“Failure. It’s starting to look like that’s the point of all of this,” Pritzker said. “We have a Secretary of Education [Linda McMahon] who hates teachers and schools. We have a Secretary of Transportation [Sean Duffy] who hates public transit. We have an Attorney General [Pam Bondi] who hates the Constitution. We have a Secretary of State [Marco Rubio] — the son of naturalized citizens, a family of refugees — on a crusade to expel both from our country….
“We have the head of the Department of Government Efficiency [Elon Musk], an immigrant granted the privilege of living and working here, a man who has made hundreds of billions of dollars after the government his business for him, who is looking to destroy the American middle class in order to fund tax cuts for himself.
“And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that he calls them ‘losers’ and ‘suckers’ and can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.
“And we have a GOP, so afraid of the felon and the fraud that they put into the White House that they would sooner watch him destroy our country than lift a hand to save it.
“Democrats, we might need to fix our messaging but our values are right where they ought to be and we will never join so many Republicans in that special place in hell reserved for quislings and cowards.”
On Sunday, Pritzker roasted “do-nothing Democrats.”
