(CAPITOL CITY NOW) – The system’s rigged against the little guy.

That is a recurring theme of a podcast interview Gov. JB Pritzker gave to a fellow Democrat, former presidential (Biden) press secretary Jen Psaki, who now works for MSNBC. Her podcast is called “The Blueprint.”

And Pritzker took aim at unelected power broker Elon Musk – and how President Trump has it backwards..

“Remember, the role of government is often to keep anyone from getting too much power. And, in this case, we are taking the most powerful, wealthiest person in the world, and the President of the United States is bringing him into the Oval Office and literally having him run government, and that’s a dangerous thing

“That’s what happened in Germany in the 1930’s. It did.”

And, in criticism almost delivered with kid gloves, Pritzker said then-President Joe Biden’s decision well after the primaries to drop out of the race “hobbled” then-Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy, depriving her of the chance to go through a primary system.
