Gov. Pritzker’s Statement On President Trump’s State Of The Union Address

CHICAGO — Tonight, Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement after President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address:

“After spending the last year wreaking havoc on American communities, Donald Trump once again spewed lies and attempted to gaslight the American people.

“We endured two hours of baseless claims, shameless propaganda, and the ramblings of a wannabe dictator outlining his plans to steal American elections. Illinois will keep standing for the truth and work to hold this President and his administration accountable.

“Trump also bragged about his illegal tariffs that have further increased the cost of living for Illinoisians. Yet, we heard no concrete plans that will help lower the cost of health care, childcare, housing, groceries, and all the other rising costs Illinoisans and Americans everywhere are facing. He did, however, find time to promise more tax breaks for the wealthy – another embarrassing display of how deeply out of touch this administration is with the needs of working families.

“The American people deserve a refund.”
