CHICAGO — Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey on Sunday opened a new avenue in his attacks on Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, questioning the patriotism of Illinois' first-term governor.
In a video on Facebook as Bailey was preparing for his annual fundraiser at his farm in downstate Xenia, the GOP state senator noted the setup for the event included a stage featuring a large American flag.
“There’s the stage again. Amazing, beautiful American flag back there,” Bailey said. “I want to share something with you. J.B. Pritzker’s rallies and his events, I don’t, I don’t often see the flag flying in a prominent position, just keep that in mind.”
