Gov. Pritzker: "Republicans control the federal government...Donald Trump is the guy who supposedly wrote the book 'The Art of the Deal' and says he's the greatest deal maker, and yet he's unwilling to sit down and make a deal...He wants to shutdown the government. It's wrong."

Charlie Kirk’s Rules of Free Speech
Republicans want to prosecute the left for incendiary words that could lead to violence. They should read Kirk’s own incendiary words first.
