In a recent appearance on MSNBC's "The Briefing," Illinois Governor JB Pritzker expressed concerns over President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard, suggesting it is a strategic move to incite disorder and potentially seize control of the electoral process.
Pritzker asserted, "It has nothing to do with fighting crime. Honestly sending National Guard in has nothing to do with immigration either. What it has to do with is hes trying to set the stage for interference in the elections in 2026 and in 2028."
As reported by Breitbart, host Jen Psaki engaged Pritzker in a discussion about the implications of his claims, noting the gravity of the situation.
Psaki remarked, "I know youve made that point before, and that made my ears perk up, and it should be alarming to anyone. What does that look like? Because it sounds like youre saying theres going to be military in the streets that are going to prevent people from participating in the elections. Is that it or its something else?"
Pritzker elaborated on his suspicions, suggesting that the actions could involve questioning the integrity of election results or manipulating the ballot counting process. He stated, "It could be that it also could be claiming that theres something wrong with the election results or the counting of ballots so theyre going to take control of the ballot boxes."
He justified his concerns by referencing President Trump's past actions, including his involvement in the "Stop the Steal" movement and the events of January 6, where he allegedly incited protestors to storm the Capitol. Pritzker further highlighted Trump's controversial pardons and recent comments about dictatorship, suggesting a pattern of behavior that raises alarms about future electoral interference.
These assertions underscore the ongoing debate about the role of federal forces in domestic affairs and the potential implications for democratic processes. As the nation looks ahead to future elections, the balance between security and electoral integrity remains a critical issue.
