Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said Wednesday that the Trump administration threatened democracy by removing rights and supporting one group over another.
“I am very grateful to be American and I am very confident in protecting all the rights of Americans, Americans. I also built the Holocaust Museum with Holocaust survivors. And I can tell you that in 1933 and 1934 the German Constitutional Republic was converted into a dictatorial regime in a very short period of time. And, as you know, anyone who walks through the Holocaust Museum and can see the chronology should see it. You can. When you get rid of your rights, knowing people reduces service to people. Suddenly, when we support a group of people over another group, it's a risk that we should pay attention to all of us. I'm now seeing it in his country. And I had to speak. I needed people to hear it. I think we gradually understand the understanding that we have to speak up. People need to come and speak up.”
He added: That's something people need to know. They need to know that it's going on. But you know, you talk to 100 people and knock on 100 doors, I knocked on so many doors running for the office, and you say to people, you know, democracy is at risk. No one knows what it looks like. They have never experienced it before. ”
