I was a bit flabbergasted to see last week that Republican gubernatorial candidate Richard Irvin told a blatant falsehood on a southern Illinois radio station. But what came after that helps us see how the Republican primary will play out for the next four and a half months.
If you follow my blog, CapitolFax.com, you know Irvin flatly told WJPF Radio host Tom Miller, “I’ve always been opposed to mandates” when Miller asked what he thought about Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s plan to phase out the state’s mask mandate. Irvin added that Pritzker is “making his decisions based on politics.”
