Democratic candidate for governor Chris Kennedy is apologizing to opponent J.B. Pritzker for what Kennedy didn’t say during a candidate forum Tuesday night.
Kennedy was asked to say something positive about Pritzker… but after pausing for several seconds, he said that Pritzker is the “poster child” for corrupt government in Illinois, and said he could not “heap praise” on Pritzker.
Kennedy now says he regrets that moment and says Pritzker deserves credit for his work to support early childhood education.
