Bruce Rauner stripped critical social services from over one million Illinoisans, stood on the sidelines as Donald Trump attacked immigrant families, and failed to call former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke a racist. But Chris Kennedy thinks he should be “applauded,” and said Rauner “is trying to do what he thinks is best for the state of Illinois.” Following a wave of criticism, Kennedy doubled down, refusing to say if he regretted praising the failed governor.

REALITY CHECK:

• Chris Kennedy said Bruce Rauner should be “applauded” for “trying to do what he thinks is best for the state of Illinois.”

• Following a wave of criticism, Kennedy stood by his praise for the failed governor.
