"We begin in Illinois, where some trollish types in the state legislature have found a new method for killing timenamely, Futility in the first degree. From WGN: But the Illinois House Freedom Caucus, comprised of conservative state lawmakers, accuses the governor of inciting violence. The group brought articles of impeachment against Pritzker, citing various statements made by the Democratic Party, including remarks in New Hampshire back in April."
"Illinois State Rep. Adam Niemerg (R-Dieterich) further explained the motivation behind the Illinois House Freedom Caucus. We've proceeded with Articles of Impeachment against Governor Pritzker for his own hateful rhetoric, as well as no safety and security here in the state of Illinois, Niemerg said. ... The Articles of Impeachment are unlikely to move forward, as the Democratic supermajority in Springfield would need to agree to bring the bill to the floor. Also worth noting is that the GOP leadership did not introduce the measure."
"Yes, I noticed that, too. These guys want to impeach a governor over stuff he said. It's as if the guys bringing this action live in their own private drive-time radio talk-show. They've imbibed so much of that swill that they can't determine where what they actually know ends and what they've come to believe begins. We move on to Iowa, where Governor Kim Reynolds eagerly joined the martyrdom cult and ordered the state's flags down to half-staff."
Conservative members of the Illinois House Freedom Caucus filed articles of impeachment against Governor J.B. Pritzker, accusing him of inciting violence and citing Democratic Party remarks, including comments from New Hampshire. Representative Adam Niemerg characterized the action as a response to alleged hateful rhetoric and failures of safety and security in Illinois. The impeachment effort faces long odds because a Democratic supermajority would need to bring the measure to the floor and GOP leadership did not sponsor it. In Iowa, Governor Kim Reynolds ordered state flags at half-staff, and Johnson County board chair Jon Green announced he would not comply with that directive.
