Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who helped build the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie, on Wednesday said Republican rival Darren Bailey must apologize to Holocaust survivors in the state for saying the Nazi genocide of European Jews during World War II can’t compare to the deaths from abortion.
“What Sen. Bailey said was offensive. It’s offensive to me as someone who is Jewish, and it’s offensive to me as somebody who built a Holocaust museum with Holocaust survivors,” Pritzker said at an unrelated Springfield news conference.
