Illinois’ Democratic Governor, J.B. Pritzker, drew a parallel between the Nazi regime of the 1930s and the policies of the Trump administration in a speech on Wednesday warning against authoritarian tactics. His remarks sparked sharp backlash from state Republicans, who condemned them as “juvenile and dangerous.”

We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said. “If we don’t want to repeat history, then for God’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is catching flack for referencing Nazis when criticizing President Donald Trump. The last part of Pritzker’s speech Wednesday included references to Nazis six times as he discussed the election of Trump to the White House.
