Summary

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker urged Democrats to protest nationwide so “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace” during a New Hampshire speech.

His call for mass mobilization drew standing applause but ignited outrage from MAGA supporters. Elon Musk called the remarks “crazy,” while conservatives accused Pritzker of inciting violence and even treason.

Pritzker also criticized Democrats for political timidity, asserting “the reckoning is finally here.”

His fiery tone fueled speculation about a 2028 presidential bid as he seeks re-election in Illinois next year.
