Ring-knocker wants to be Governor of Illinois.

And the race has started..


Quote:
West Point Grad Sets the Illinois Governor’s Race on Fire

5 Feb 2018 By Under the Radar

Up until last week, Army veteran and Illinois state representative Jeanne Ives was considered a long shot to defeat Governor Bruce Rauner in the upcoming Republican gubernatorial primary.

Then the West Point graduate crushed the governor in a debate before the Chicago Tribune editorial board and the whole dynamic of the race changed.

Maybe she was just excited after that epic performance, but something made the candidate decide that it was time to release this online advertisement last Friday.

The ad features a collection of individuals thanking the governor for his policies.

1. There’s a man in drag who needs a shave. In a deep bass voice, he says, “Thank your for signing legislation that lets me use the girls’ bathroom.”

2. Then there’s a woman in a pink pussy hat who says. “Thank you for making all Illinois families pay for my abortions.”

3. Next up is an anarchist activist in a hoodie with his face covered by a bandanna. “Thanks for opposing law enforcement and making Illinois a sanctuary state for illegal immigrant criminals."

4. An African-American woman in a Teachers Union t-shirt thanks Rauner for having the state “bail out Chicago teacher pensions.”

When Illinois political blog first reported the ad last Friday, some angry Ives supporters accused the blog of making up the story in an effort to undermine her campaign.

Nope, this ad is 100% real.

Sounds like she identified the kind of no-nonsense straight talk that President Trump used to eliminate primary opponents.

(Ha..ha..POTUS still not Felonia Von Pantsuit)
