Press Release:  Ted Dabrowski Attacks Protesters Rather Than Condemn Murder of Alex Pretti

Chicago, IL – After failing to respond to questions about Donald Trump’s federal agent killing a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, Ted Dabrowski – who last year questioned whether Trump’s use of federal force was constitutional – refused to condemn the death of Alex Pretti. Dabrowski instead issued a rambling statement attacking Democrats and criticizing protesters.

In response, the Democratic Party of Illinois released the following statement:

“Last year, Ted Dabrowski said Donald Trump’s deployment of federal personnel ‘may not be constitutional.’ Now, after Trump’s continued federal overreach killed another person, he’s trying to walk back those statements in an effort to boost his flatlining polling and deflect from questions about where he truly stands. Using this tragic killing to score political points and deceive voters is outrageous.”

Dabrowski failed to clarify whether he still stands by his earlier concerns about Trump’s federal actions or if he has abandoned them for political expediency. With his polling numbers slipping and divisions within his party growing, Dabrowski owes Illinois voters a clear answer. Instead, he’s choosing political self-preservation over principle.
