Bailey Was Silent as Interviewer Referred to Minorities as “Colored People,” Criticized Gov. Pritzker as a “Ukraine Jew”
CHICAGO, IL — Darren Bailey joined a podcast this weekend where the host referred to minorities as “colored people” and criticized Governor JB Pritzker for being a “Ukraine Jew.” Darren Bailey sat silently and nodded along.
In response, JB for Governor campaign released the following statement:
“Darren Bailey nodded along as a podcast host made blatantly racist and antisemitic comments. Unfortunately, this is just the latest example of the Bailey campaign looking the other way in the face of clearly racist or inappropriate behavior. After all, the campaign has repeatedly appeared with a woman with a record of making racist statements, and it accepted money from a child sex offender. Through his silence, Darren Bailey failed to clear the lowest bar of moral leadership. Does he have the integrity to condemn these remarks now?”
