TRANSCRIPT:

PRITZKER: “My sympathy to Charlie Kirk’s family and to Charlie Kirk, who obviously has, you know, become a target for somebody. I don’t know whether it’s political violence because I don’t know who did it. I know they seem to have somebody in custody. But I will say that political violence, unfortunately, has been ratcheting up in this country. We saw the shootings, the killings in Minnesota. We’ve seen other political violence occur in other states. And I would just say, it’s got to stop. And I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it. We’ve seen the January 6th rioters who clearly, you know, have tripped a new era of political violence.”
