Democratic Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker appears to be supportive of socialist Democrats making gains in recent elections, despite their decidedly anti-billionaire policies.
CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked Pritzker during an interview Tuesday if he was comfortable with the far-left Democrats who frequently target billionaires as the enemy, despite the governor being worth about $4.3 billion.
'I think it's about what do you stand for and what do you actually accomplish for people, not how much money you have.'
"What do you make of Democrats in your party, as we lead up to 2026 and the midterm elections and 2028, who rail against the billionaire class in your party?" Collins asked.
"I completely understand how people feel looking at Elon Musk and what he's done to this country and with DOGE and all the things that he blurts out on his own platform, on X," Pritzker responded, "when people look at what the other kind of oligarch, Big Tech types, have done, right? Those are the examples that people have now of billionaires. Look at Donald Trump and the way he has treated working-class and middle-class people. The fact is that I understand why people feel as they do."
When pressed by Collins, he implied that he would be exempt from the ban because of his Democratic policies.
"I think it's much more about the values that you carry and then carry out," he continued. "And as somebody who has stood up for a workers' rights amendment and got it passed in the State of Illinois, who's stood up for LGBTQ and reproductive rights, somebody who's legalized cannabis, somebody who's raised the minimum wage in my state for people from $8.25 to $15, you know, I think it's about what do you stand for and what do you actually accomplish for people, not how much money you have."
Collins quoted Trump as referring to the socialist Democrats as the greatest threat to the U.S. since the founding, and Pritzker responded by claiming the president suffers from dementia.
"The man is continually suffering from dementia. I don't think he really understands what he's saying," he said.
"I think he has these concepts in his head, and he blurts them out without really thinking," Pritzker added.

Pritzker is the heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune.
In Feb. 2026, the governor's cousin Thomas Pritzker stepped down as the executive chairman of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation after 22 years over his involvement with the late pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a letter to the board, Thomas Pritzker wrote, "Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret."

On a recent episode of his show, Tucker Carlson interviewed Christian commentator and theologian J.D. Hall on Christian Zionism, dispensationalism, and related topics.
During the discussion, Hall argued that Islam has historically been “kind” to Christians, especially under the Ottoman Empire.
Allie Beth Stuckey, however, believes this Muslim-sympathic interview is another attempt by Carlson to “whitewash Islam.”
On this episode of “Relatable,” Allie dives into the real history of Islam’s relationship with Christianity.
“When the Ottomans were in control of the promised land for 400 years in the millet system, they didn't charge churches tax. Israel started just a few years ago,” Hall said, arguing that the Muslim rulers were actually “very kind to Christians.”
Citing the work of Raymond Ibrahim — a prominent historian specializing in Islamic history, the Middle East, and the historical and contemporary interactions between Islam and the West — Allie calls Hall’s claim about the taxes “misleading.”
“Churches weren't specifically taxed, but Christians ... had to pay an extra tax called the jizya that was imposed on non-Muslims. That was the only way to guarantee any kind of protection,” Allie corrects.
“It's true that the Ottomans allowed religious communities to govern many of their own affairs ... but non-Muslims remained second-class subjects. In addition to paying extra taxes, they faced restrictions on churches, on evangelism, legal rights, dress, bearing arms,” she continues.
Hall’s claim that Muslims were kind to Christians, however, “is just not true” at all, says Allie. “The Islamic Ottoman Empire persecuted Christians for centuries, killed them, enslaved them for centuries.”
She then gives the example of the Muslim takeover of Constantinople — “the center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity” and “the last remnant of the Roman Empire.”
“So when the city's defenses gave way, thousands of civilians crowded into the Hagia Sophia, the city's largest church, seeking safety, and the Ottoman troops led by Sultan Mehmed II forced their way inside, and the refuge became the scene of looting, enslavement, widespread abuse, including mass rape,” says Allie.
She reads eyewitness accounts from Thomas the Eparch and Joshua Diplovatatzes (two Byzantine figures who witnessed and documented the city’s fall): “Then, he (Sultan Mehmed II) seized one of the grand duke’s daughters, who was quite beautiful, and made her lie on the great altar of the Hagia Sophia with a crucifix under her head and then raped her. Then, the most brutish of the Turks seized the finest noble women, virgins, and nuns of the city and violated them in the presence of the Greeks and in the sacrilege of Christianity.”
“Wow — things haven't changed in centuries,” says Allie. “This is the same thing that happens to Christians today in very similar manners, certainly in places like Nigeria and Uganda.”
“It is not just the pillaging of Christian women; it is the purposeful blasphemy against the Christian God.”
