JB Pritzker (D) on Tuesday accused President Trump of suffering from dementia.
Pritzker appeared on CNN, where anchor Kaitlan Collins asked the governor about recent comments made by the president, like claiming communism is a bigger threat to the U.S. than both world wars, the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Look, the man is continually suffering from dementia, Pritzker replied. I don t think he really understands what he s saying. The truth is that — I mean, this is a man who s threatened to jail the mayor of Chicago, the governor of Illinois. He regularly threatens to go after people and indeed, has used the Department of Justice to go after people.
