Illinois Governor JB Pritzker got immediately roasted after deciding to weigh in on a controversial video that appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account last week.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a member of Trump’s staff shared a since-deleted video late Thursday night regarding alleged election irregularities that occurred in five key swing states in the 2020 general election.
A man in the video discusses how these states suddenly stopped counting in the middle of the night, with Trump significantly ahead of Biden. Then, when reporting resumed, there was a massive spike in Biden’s favor.
The machines used were Dominion, which has been dogged by significant controversy for having machines that malfunctioned and allegedly flipped votes.
At the end of the video, an AI meme of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes appears as they dance to the Tokens’ song ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight.’ The clip is from an old Lion King meme video, which shows Trump as the King of the Jungle.

Pritzker, who makes an appearance in the full Lion King video as an elephant, reacted to the video with fury.
“Donald Trump is a racist,” Pritzker wrote.
Donald Trump is a racist.

Social media users immediately had some choice words for the Illinois governor.
Some mocked his lack of fitness, others taunted him over his own appearance in the meme video, while others noted his own poor record on minority issues.
JB Pritzker is morbidly obese. https://t.co/rU8cHiRIG7
