No peace for Republicans? Democrat fans flames for Summer of Love 2.0

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, who is unsurprisingly a Democrat, called for mass protests against President Donald Trump during a speech in New Hampshire this week.

Pritzker complained in his speech that the president and the individuals "he has elevated" are "an affront to every value this country was founded upon."

"Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption — but I am now," he said, adding, "These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box. They must feel in their bones … that we will relegate their portraits to the museum halls reserved for tyrants and traitors."

Blaze Media D.C. correspondent Christopher Bedford isn’t shocked, but he is more than a little disturbed.

“You have folks like Governor Pritzker over in Illinois, who’s just a wild man. I mean, it’s kind of insane to see somebody that wealthy attacking Trump for being wealthy, when he’s a governor himself,” Bedford tells Jill Savage on “Blaze News Tonight.”

“But that’s the way he operates. And he’s out there now saying, ‘We need to have resistance 2.0. There can be no peace for Republicans. They must be investigated. They must be harassed in the streets. They must be impeached,’” he continues.

“I think what we’re starting to see is Democrat frustrations bubbling over, but I don’t see any appetite for it in the streets. I just don’t. It doesn’t seem like the summer of riots that they’ve had in the past,” he adds.

However, that could change.

“As one reporter I was talking to earlier today said, ‘Seems like the United States is always one particularly grizzly police shooting away from that sort of thing changing,’” Bedford says, adding, “but right now those Democrats who are trying to just relive and run a sequel, it’s going straight to home video. It’s not even coming to theaters.”
