Illinois governor JB Pritzker blocks Jan 6ers from state jobs. Time for Jan 6ers to apply.

If you are an Illinois resident who was targeted in the J6 prosecutions, I would recommend applying for any position in your state government immediately.
Allow them to deny your employment application.

President Trump is no fan of “Rotund” Pritzker. Months ago he shared some thoughts on the big man.
“Sloppy J.B. Pritzker, the Rotund Governor from the once great State of Illinois, who makes Chris Christie look like a male model,” Trump wrote, while also throwing shade at the Republican ex-governor of New Jersey in a fiery Truth Social tirade on Sunday.
Despite Pritzker’s estimated $3.5 billion fortune, as reported by Forbes, the former president alleged that his family “wanted him out of the business” – the global hotel chain, Hyatt – before he doubled down on his “pathetic” business acumen.
After Trump’s initial barrage of insults about his business ventures, he proceeded to criticize the senior Democrat’s politics. The incumbent has been a longtime financial supporter of the Democratic Party and has served since 2019 as the 43rd governor of Illinois.
Trump was right.
