'Come and get me,' Pritzker says of Trump threat
Vice President JD Vance, appearing on ABC's "This Week," did not go as far as President Donald Trump who has said Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker "should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!" as Pritzker and Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson oppose Trump's stated effort to deploy National Guard troops to the city to crack down on crime -- and aid ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in immigration policing.
In an interview with co-anchor George Stephanopoulos, Vance wouldn’t say flatly whether Pritzker had committed a crime but said he had failed to protect the safety of Chicagoans and “has violated his fundamental oath of office” which “seems pretty criminal.”
“He should suffer some consequences,” Vance told Stephanopoulos. “Whether he's violated a crime -- ultimately, I would leave to the courts, but I certainly think that he has violated his fundamental oath of office. That seems pretty criminal to me. I'd leave it to a judge and juries to decide whether he's actually violated the crime,” Vance said.
Appearing on "This Week" after Vance, Pritzker told Stephanopoulos that he was “not afraid” of Trump’s threats, which have ramped up recently against many of the president’s political foes, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
