Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker raised a wild conspiracy theory Sunday for why President Trump is considering deploying National Guard troops to Chicago and other blue cities plagued by crime.
“He has other aims, other than fighting crime,” Pritzker confidently stated, during an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“The other aims are that he’d like to stop the elections 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections,” the governor continued.
“He’ll just claim that there’s some problem with an election, and then he’s got troops on the ground that can take control.”
The White House dismissed Pritzker’s allegation.
“It’s amazing the lengths this slob will go to in order to deflect from the terrible crime crisis that has been plaguing Chicago for years,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Post.
Jackson noted that the city has racked up more murders than any other US city for 13 straight years and that more illegal firearms are recovered in Chicago than in New York City and LA combined.
