The Party of Law and Order Platforms A Violent Criminal

Geneva, IL — Tonight, a local extremist group led by a member of the ILGOP State Central Committee, the Three Headed Eagle Alliance, is celebrating political violence by hosting proud Jan. 6er and Oath Keepers founder, Stewart Rhodes. In response, Chair of the Democratic Party of Illinois Lisa Hernandez said the following:

“It is remarkable that the Illinois Republican Party can brand themselves as the party of law and order while platforming a man who participated in a riot where a former Vice President of the United States was threatened to be hanged. A police officer was assaulted, suffered two strokes and died the next day, and over 100 law enforcement officers left with injuries. Since January 6, four officers have died by suicide. Anything the Illinois Republican Party says about violence or public safety should never be taken seriously.”
