“Again, Gov. Abbott should stay the hell out of Illinois’ business.”

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. The governor blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott after Abbott approved President Donald Trump’s request to deploy 400 Texas National Guard soldiers to other states. Pritzker said the troops were not welcome in Illinois and accused Abbott of overstepping his authority. A spokesman for Abbott fired back, arguing that if “liberal governments in Illinois and Chicago were protecting people and property and upholding law and order, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.” (The Dallas Daily News)
