During a heated hearing before the Congressional House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, three Democratic governors Kathy Hochul of New York, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, and Tim Walzof Minnesota answered questions about their states sanctuary policies for immigrants. In one tense exchange, Pritzker told off Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for claiming that the LA immigration protests constitute an insurrection. Related Lauren Boebert wants to change DCs name to District of America DC is not named after the nation of Colombia but she suggested it could be the next Gulf of Mexico. I find it hard to believe that youre lecturing us about peaceful protest, he said. Look at what happened, January 6, here at the Capitol. The attack on our democracy, that is an insurrection.Bobert wouldnt hear it, continuously speaking over him and emphasizing her belief that Americans exercising their constitutional right to protest is somehow an insurrection, while storming the Capitol to change the results of a free and fair election is not. You dont understand what insurrection is, Pritzker said, when people are trying to overturn an election here at the Congress You were here, they were attacking you by the way.Youre the one condoning pardoning of people who attacked police right here at our Capitol.Boebert: What were seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You dont know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police. pic.twitter.com/iOrhvzK8JV Acyn (@Acyn) June 12, 2025Many on X praised Pritzker for standing his ground and mocked Boebert for thinking she could outsmart him. She was trying to cut him off soooo fast because he speaks the truth.

Pritzter. (@ChidiNwatu) June 12, 2025Gov Pritzker is a badass and Bobo iswell Life of Pies (@willyishly) June 12, 2025Gov. Pritzker is right. Calling peaceful protest an insurrection while defending those who actually stormed the Capitol and attacked police is peak hypocrisy. Boebert doesnt want accountability she wants amnesia. Were not playing along. Michelle (@Day13Lee) June 12, 2025Hey Lauren, the only thing youre insurrecting is your own ignorance! Condoning pardoned rioters while screaming insurrection. Maybe learn the definition before flapping your gums.
