CHICAGO — President Donald Trump's decision Tuesday to free former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich from prison may give him a smidgen of credibility with the state's black community.
Jackson’s team declined to comment Tuesday, but Democratic state Rep. Kam Buckner was among those to praise Blagojevich's release while slamming Trump. “There are people who feel comfortable with our community and look comfortable with our community, and it’s not a put-on or strained. And that was Blagojevich,” said Cobb, who argued there are some African Americans who believe Blagojevich got such a long sentence because he was friendly to the black community.
Len Goodman, Blagojevich’s attorney, confirmed with POLITICO that Trump’s team relayed in a phone call that Blagojevich’s sentence was commuted. But he doesn’t know when the former governorMany of the state's top Democrats were outraged by Trump's decision. Illinois Gov. J.B.
“With the challenges we have with ongoing public corruption, Blagojevich is a real touchstone for a lot of people about what is wrong in Illinois politics and it’s unfortunate that this has happened with this president,” she told reporters in Springfield, Ill., Tuesday. Even though commuting Blagojevich earned Trump some praise, the ex-governor's supporters say the president's negatives far outweigh any positives.
Are you freaking kidding, Politico? Have you looked up the term, “racial profiling”’in the dictionary lately? No? What about “clueless”? I knew you guys leaned republican. I didnt know you were just whistling dixie while you did it. Yikes!
Huh?
Bullshit trump can kick rocks if he think ppl haven’t seen the last 31/2 yrs wht damaged, vindictive hateful liar trump is, I will vote for my dog 🐕 b4 I vote for trump
I know I’m high 🤦🏽♀️ they must be also 😩🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
We make up a 3rd of the population Unless you got a 1/2 of all the Blacks then I don’t think they can answer that
Político version of a desert: a biiiiiiig big beach.
Politico you just lost me wit that bullshit
Trump is a cancer on the world that needs excoriating. Everything he touches smells of pus!!
Why
So says the media company that is in bed with communist China
Umm why
This is an insult to the black community Shame on you
There is NOTHING he can do to give him any credibility to me.
Ridiculous and offensive.
This is the plan to get the votes ?
Trump admires people who are corrupt and cheat and believe they are above the law, like Trump believes he is!
it is horrendous
lol politico
It's Trump undoing another Obama thing.
🤔🤯
No, it won't. Signed, A Black man from Illinois.
NO the fuck it won’t. Y’all really don’t think much of the Black Community and articles like this prove it.
In what universe? This BLACK Illinoisan N HER people want to know what the heck are U smoking. We don’t like 45 today, we didn’t like him yesterday, and we sure in hell will NOT like him tomorrow. My prez did not free dude and I trust his judgment more than any GOPs and most DEMs
a white person had to have wrote this headline
Nope. Zero credibility. If you’re white and writing this, it’s an even worse take.
Wake up America! Stop looking at the shiny objects that trump throws at you. don’tbesoeasytobelieveanything.
Give me a f'n break
Probably the dumbest headline I’ve seen to date.
lol we had him figured out before last election. Pardoning a dude won't help him. We will never vote for President Orange Racist
Medal of freedom ceremony coming soon. 🏅🏅🏅
AT LEAST BLAGOJEVICH RECEIVED A FREE HAIRCUT IN PRISON WHICH WAS BADLY NEEDED.
IT WAS DONE BECAUSE TRUMP LOVES BLACK DOGS THAT LIVE IN SHITHOLES, ASK OMAROSSA MAGNAULT.
What.
Are you even beginning to be serious or are you just extraordinarily racist?
Credibility with the Black community for what exactly?
What?
Ahhhhh hahahaha liberals are scared to death. Trump pardoned part of the Chicago Machine. Blogo said he was grateful. Be scared liberals. I see crumbs leading to Hussein
Black folk like this guy? Why?
Go home, Politico. You’re drunk.
No.
Headlines like this are certainly written by editors who think black people can’t read
What are you talking about? Democrats hate corruption. Blago was in prison which is exactly where we put his ignorant a$$. What benefit is there for black people to see this criminal con man walk the streets? Don’t put this BS on us.
Say what? I think this perspective underestimates the intelligence of the black community by a large margin!
Politico you guys have the best jokes! Tell us the one about how a Blank Box on a ballot wouldnt beat Trump! Its my favorite!
This is preposterous and totally irresponsible
Right. We as black People, are better than that. You don’t know that bye now? We are👍🏾🙌🏾👏🏾☝🏾💯💯💯💯🗳🗳
Democrats Unite. This guy is not a Democrat. Get him a MAGA hat.
Nah.
What?
He is really really dumb!
What That’s a ludicrous statement
What state? Illinois?!? What are you guys smoking?
the fuck
Really? I doubt it. Obama’s legislative seat for sale to the highest bidder? He will deny it. Claim he never broke the law. Yep, same argument trump thumps with every chance he gets.
Excuse me, what?
NO IT DOESNT. Did you pull this out of your hind parts? This shows black folks we continue to have two systems of justice and Trump swims in the swamp.
Lmfao. No, it won't. Trump isn't coming close to winning the votes of black Illinois voters.
what?
No. Just no. Who writes these stupid articles anyways?
Jesus came to set the captives free. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain Mercy. ...
wut
Yes you’re right..the rich white man gets pardon for committing crimes and black people go to prison for weed.
How so?
Final line of the story —“Further, I don’t know any black people in my district who will vote for Trump. He should take Rod’s place in that cell.”
Politico's cheerleading position has been amplified.
Unbelievable!
Pandering. Pure and simple. Trump does nothing that doesn't benefit him in some way.
HE TRIED TO SELL THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENTS FORMER SENATE SEAT
You all really love the smell of your own farts don't you? Who thought this made sense?
Because the black community has an affinity for lawless, corrupt white men who are pardoned and get out of their sentences? Huh?
How you figure? &why him out of all the white guys that have been to prison, would Black ppl be impressed w/him?🧐 Yall just pulled this out of a giraffe's butt
What
Ummm...wut? I mean, I’m not a POC, but that’s ridiculous reasoning right there.
NO Please shut the fuck up, that's not how it works. Who wrote this shit!? Please re-read it. What part of trump freeing his criminal buddies would unite black people around trump? Stop being stupid, even all the cooney crackers in the world aren't voting for trump. 👇🏾
Someone is trying to whitewash this dude’s pardon by connecting it with the black community just bc he sold the first black President Barack Obama’s Senate seat. It’s disgusting and infuriating.
Are you kidding? Terribly untrue clickbait article. Get a clue
that is a ridiculous take
Is this meant to imply that Blacks gravitate toward criminals?
Note to you, Blago is pure white & tried to sell Obama's senate seat to other pure white guys....
Certainly more than Bernie, Bloomberg and Warren!!!
What does this even mean?
who wrote this bullshit?
This the most ignorant, racist and insulting thing I’ve read on Twitter today. I thought Politico was a credible source, now I wonder. Where were your editors on this? Somebody needs to go home.
Huh
If you allow a child to misbehave without consequence, next time he’ll do right in front of your face.
Oh please
The headline writer needs to be fired.
Pardoning rich, white criminals will give trump “credibility” with the black community FFS
I doubt it
Yikes
WTF did you just say?
No it didn’t. Stop this bullshit. Do you think Trump commuting the sentence of the man who tried to sell the Senate seat of the first black President endears him to black people? Man listen, there aren’t enough hours in the whole damn year to debunk this trash.
Stephen Miller must’ve hacked Politico’s account and wrote this shit himself. There’s not even enough elastic in trump’s waistline to make this stretch.
Lmao! RacistInChief RacistGOP RepubliKLAN ResistHate VoteBlueToSaveAmerica TrumpsEconomySucks GOPTaxScam BlueWave2020
No. Just no.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... This ain’t it.
No, the F it doesn’t! What in the actual F are you talking about!
Da hell!!
What a shit take
This is dumb
No it didn't and that y'all published this proves you still not listening to your Black journalists.
What?
You need to quit your day job!
YEA A CHILD ABUSSER AWSOME FREE MAN
No
Ya’ll are straight 🤡
😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣
Obviously, the only thing that motivate we Blacks to vote is our collective love of criminals...
Who in the he🏒🏒 wrote this drivel and who would believe it! Ahh MAGAts, of course. MAGAts and GOP-Government of PUtin Russian tools and PUtin’s mouthpieces. BarrResign MoscowMitchCoverUp
agent orange should release 1000s of prisoners who did not commit crimes and were railroaded through an injustice criminal system.
Wut.
Why the hell would they care?
What do black ppl have to do with that? Not cool
No, it will not. 🙄
If Politico believes he was a friend to African Americans then Blago could con their writers out of anything. He was a really good actor who worked to make sure he was well set up when he left office.
This has to be one of the most unflinchingly racist things I have seen a news organization publish in some time. What? Black have no character and morals that we want criminals to get off? What is wrong with you? Just Wow.
Ok politico
Looks like Trump is anticipating a flood on US prisons and is making way for all the traitors in US government. Ironic tho.
Huh 🤷♀️ As a Democrat I will say that corruption is corruption. I don’t believe that being from the same party pardons the corruption. Perhaps that’s the difference between me and the SenateGOP 😡
How?
Wh wh whaaaaa!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why would anyone cheer this criminal’s release?
Why? Dude's white? WTF That is some 🐂💩.
Garbage! Politico... I never read your articles as you don't have any credibility.
Yeah, right.
Did Rupert Murdoch buy Politico, or something?
Are you high?
THAT IS JUST BULLSHIT!!!
He would of done better had he done this with some black ppl who are sitting in prison for LIFE for a joint.
I doubt that. Lived there for 50 decades. Somehow I’m thinking 🤔 not so much luv fur Blago...
What He’ll never get the full backing of the black community, how can you even print this? Stupid!
Oh stop nothing trump does gives him any approval to blacks. Although corrupt Blagojevich did a lot for the poor, the elderly
Who dat pluck told you that?
The onion?
Who wrote this? One of realDonaldTrump ‘s BeavisandButthead Son’s?
How the hell do you figure that?
It won’t
Woof
Trump has not freed Blagojevich to woo the Illinois blacks !
Why would you possibly think this?
Are you high?
Politico's always going to be awful, isn't it?
Um... what?
The article says that Jessie Jackson has been working on Blagojevich's behalf to get a full pardon....WOW....whose he going to work on next his son? 🤬
The fuck?
What kind of crap is this!
What the WHAT
Doubtful
A smidgen? A Democrat President wouldn’t have done it....
Why would they cheer him? Also 'they' doesnt represent people well in this case lol
Not an iota, smidgen, or scintilla of truth in this statement.
No black person wud write this article? GTFOH
Racist White Media love to associate black and brown people with criminality
so, once again, you post up a opinion piece wrapped as a fact story. what the hell.
Rite! Now go into a corner and hold your breath for that smidgen.
Anybody who thinks that releasing that a**hole early is turning Trump into someone remotely sympathetic to anyone of color is f'ing delusional.
How the fuc did y'all come to that conclusion😤😤😤
Why would Black people be excited about rich, guilty white men getting a get out of jail free card?
You obviously know nothing about the Black community.
Oh, my. Bless your heart. 🤣😂🤣😂
How's that?
Fucking WHAT?
such a ridiculous take
Delete this
This makes no sense whatsoever.
A 'Smidgen?'
Dumb take
Please
Wow, so offended by this headline in Politico! Hell to the no! I lived in Chicago when Blagojevich was in office and when he was rightly convicted! This Black woman disagrees strongly!
So are you saying that Black voters approve of blatant government FRAUD? Surely they have a moral compass that doesn’t approve of corruption the likes of what we are experiencing in government today!
Yet another garbage take from Politico.
⬆️ This article by Shia Kapos of . is Irresponsible! Good thing that Politico has .NatashaBertrand, because it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t ever read .Politico again. 😡
Complete bullsh*t. should be sued for slander.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU POLITICO?
Why tie the black community to this crooked politician?
What is this white bullshit?
To conflate the Black community with Rod Blagoseefinish is a terrible attempt to conflate Blackness with corruption and criminality. Check your white, gaslighting selves who brought this abomination of a presidency to bear.
This is some serious bullshit right here!!!
WTH?! Who came up with this crap?
That's some real bullshit right there..
I lived in Illinois, this piece of shit spent $10k of taxpayer money on a giant fkn sign that read 'Rod Blagojevich Expressway' . He pissed away $10s of millions on corrupt contracts with kickbacks and of course Trump pardons him. This is your democracy...
What are you thinking
WTF
....why?
Delete this nonsense
We can tell you guys don't have any black people working for you
W T A F
BonnieKOliver Rod B is the best example of corruption in the country. So, tRump normalized corruption with his pardon spree. Just remember, he does this for a reason. And that is, tRump is guilty of everything he’s pardoned them for in some manner.
Who actually writes 💩 like this
you're the only ones saying this. 🙄🙄🙄
Why would BlkPpl care about this CRIMINAL? Why does think BlkPpl care about CRIMINALS What are you REALLY SAYING
WTF Delete this. It is beyond insulting.
Uh....What
Ha ha. You idiots.
State of Illinois? C'mon now
Politico how low are u willing to go. Ridiculous
Insulting! You really think releasing the felon who attempted to sell the first Black President’s Senate seat will win the minds and hearts of Black voters? What the hell are you smoking?
THE FUCK IT WILL.
You think pardoning corrupt white criminals will bring joy to Black voters?
It wasn’t just Russia that helped Trump. It was media and PR contacts embedded in news organizations to write absurd takes as if they were reasonable things.
Ths is great for the electorate.Trump just lost the election. Trump, unhinged from impeachment has lost his mind! Thank RushLimbaugh and his lies over the last 40 years over radio waves of how the white man is getting screwed in America was a lie. Racism is made up America!
Bullshit! You know what would work? Releasing black people who shouldn’t be in prison for low level drug violations. En masse. Today.
Wut?
What?
Racist and ignorant wtg Politico.
Politico opinion writers have lost their minds. You have to work really hard to find anyone sorry for Blago.
Ummm, no
Yep. They like that democrat plantation they live in...give me your votes for free stuff while we abort your babies. Encourage fathers to not be present and keep you in the ghetto. Seems like a great plan.....and they just keep saying yeezsur boss. 🤔
The only lens the media sees black people is through criminal justice. To them we are suspects or convicts. Disgraceful. Disgusting. And black people see through trump’s bullshit a mile away. He’ll never have any credibility in the black community.
You're saying trump's decision to free a white criminal will get black people to like him more? That's your headline?
So black people like criminals? If you all aren't saying we are criminals you're saying like them. Garbage take
BS
who writes racist crap like this... '...may give him a smidgen of credibility with the state's black community'
TF you saying?
Whose desk did this cross?!?
That's a bold-faced lie
That and low employment and higher wages
So... You’re using 2 interviews to distill the nuances of a entire community that‘s historically incarcerated for longer terms and conflate our shared injustice with Blagojevich’s justice.
WRONG! Are y’all nuts?!!
😂 sure, that makes sense.🤦♂️
This is such utter nonsense...
WTH politico
Who wrote this nonsense?
What in the entire hell?
What the heck
Sez who?
You don’t know Illinois
Counterpoint: no it won't
Like Trump, the criminal scoundrel Blago claims he did nothing wrong.
Is that what Jared thinks?
Doubtful!
How much did get personally get paid to pardon each person - trump is all about profiting off of the presidency
Bull
I wonder how many backroom quid-pro-quos were arranged to broker these pardons? You just know there will be some major money exchanges somewhere.
Truly the worst take.
Politico have you had a stroke?
Wtf?
That’s reaching. As a minority Dem from Chicago I was glad to see this corrupt pos in jail. Now he gets out and we’re supposed to cheer about this sad attempt to make corruption ok
Of course he pardoned him sleaze hangs around with sleaze
Why didn’t Politico use a current pic to show reality of Blago today. I question ur integrity.
Wtf?
Absurd. This will make even Blago lol.
No reason to be happy for this guy
That is just some fuckery Politico. Because blacks are just innately ignorant, so you can make ignorant conjecture on their behalf? Wrong.
Who the fuck gave this one a green light?
Oh sure. Springing a bunch of corrupt old white men will surely let the black community know trump is looking out for them. Give it a rest already
Former Illinoisan, nobody liked him as Governor and nobody likes him now. Did your writers fall and bump heads?
Of course a think piece written by a non black person
Wait, is Blagojevich in the Serbian Black Hand and that somehow translates to black support? Or, wait, what? I don’t get this.
Yes, selling democracy for personal gain is now in fashion
Lmao. Who wrote this
African American unemployment rate lowest in history, African American poverty rate lowest in history, most of new jobs created have been filled by minority females..Trump has been very good for Black families.
For pardoning a white guy who tried to sell the first black potus’s senate seat?
This is ridiculous. He literally tried to sell a black man’s senate seat & u think black ppl r going to see hope in his being pardoned?
Why would Black care that Trump released a rich white man?
That dude tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. What a creep.
Why?
Black folks always cheer when white criminals with piles of evidence and convicted and sentenced to prison are released early we give a BBQ.
Don't insult African Americans.
I’ve never been to Illinois but whenever some yte person claims to know how my peoples and I will react in glee to a white man being released from prison early for a crime he clearly committed...I had to stop for the ratio.
Letting the rich and clearly guilty white criminal go is going to help Trump with the black community? How does that work?
Let’s just say, Trump’s world is full of lies, corruption and destroying our values.
What
Why the hell would anyone cheer for his release he extorted children’s hospital! Disgraceful
Your just lost more voters. We see you are not the President if “rule of law.”
Incorrect
BWAHAHAHAHA! The black community is not going to suddenly vote for a life long racist POS, because he pardoned the guy who tried to sell Obama's senate seat!
Another great take from Tiger Beat on the Potomac.
How’s that
Really did you ask them before scribbling this bs? Found guilty of 11 counts incldg abuse of power. He was also trying to sell Obama's Senate seat. Clickbait headlines don't speak for Black ppl.
HOW did you come to this conclusion?! What black people did you talk to? Any?!
Everything he does is transactional. Also...seeing JerryRice praise Trump at the White House was so disappointing. You can be appreciative of his pardoning the 49ers guy without going to the fucking White House. Trump use them to get votes!
Wow. Politico starts the reputation whitewashing immediately. Thought this was a NYT Haberman special for a second.
Y'all really got to stop doing this BS. On behalf of the ENTIRE black delegation. This is so not true.
What a 🗑 take
Every conceivable lever of govt will be used by Trump to try to eke out a win. We haven’t yet seen the many creative ways Trump will use powers of incumbency to manipulate the public.
What? Why
Well, in Politico's defense, they had to come up with some crazy shit to hey people interested in an article about that corrupt bastard.
Does this writer know any black people or did he make this article up from the top of his head
Ha! 😂 uhm no 🙄
TrumpIsCorrupt TrumpIsAnIdiot TrumpNotFitForOffice TrumpIsAMoron
Because...?
Why on earth would it do that?
Once again, your attempt to speak for black people without actually speaking to black people has gotten you a richly deserved ratio. Your journalism is garbage.
Will it? What will pardoning Tynice Nichole Hall and Angela Stanton who are black women (the latter related to Martin Luther King) as well as Crystal Munoz, who is a Hispanic woman, do?
Shame
How is this a headline?
No ..it shows that he has a true passion for criminals...RUMP IS the CRIME KING.,
Propaganda
They cheered for a thief
Politico is drunk again.
Nope. Not working.🙄
Every one of you republicans need to take a look at this with trump reversing court decisions against criminals you have create this process and you turned this country over completely to a criminal
WTF?
Lol. No.
How do they come to these conclusions.
Delete this tweet
Don’t you think if Hitler lived in this country and was Hitler trump would pardon him. We’re do you think trump would be if his taxes were shown he would be in prison like these criminals
Number of black staff members at Politico: Zero, probably
Oh great
Wrong! No influence what so ever. What person of color has he pardoned besides the lady Kim Kardashian brought to his limited attention?
Wrap it up Politico, you’re drunk. A driver is waiting for you in the lobby.
Huh
He frees some white color criminal and Chicago blacks cheer? Huh?
This is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
How?
Good lord, Politico, what the fuck?
He's a total criminal. Obviously justice is completely dead. If you protest a pipeline or give water to someone in the desert it is a felony. But bribe, threaten, steal, cheat and you're ok. Probably will offer a cabinet position as really likes criminals.
“Credibility?” WTAF?!!
I’m happy Rod helped the black community. That’s a good thing! He still broke the law. Was convicted by a jury of his peers. And he was held accountable for his actions.
Don't insult them.
You’re really bad at this
Holy Fuck Knuckles, Politico.
No, no it does not.
ok politico
Do you want to rethink this one champ? Might not be your best work.
The intern writing your hedlines has never been to Chicago
SMDH
Please ...Stop speaking for communities you have No connection or real knowledge about.
WRONG.
Unfollowing you politico now. Your stuff is bs. Bye
Remember when the bad guy let all the other bad guys out of prison in every comic book ever? Yeah it’s like that
Why?
Yuck.
This is the dumbest headline you’ve ever written.
Who concluded this?
Rod needs to finish his prison term. Corrupt creep trying to sell Obama’s seat.
Lmao. Um, no.
His approval was literally in the single digits at one point
ShiaKapos do better.
You serious?!? I mean, really?!?
Politico: We write words, you figure out if they mean anything!
OFGS
What?! Is this a serious headline?!
Whoever wrote this bs should be fired immediately.
I am sure that’s why Trump did it.
CriminalTrump pardoning another criminal is now the new norm. Trump pardoned a woman sentenced to 35 years in prison for defrauding Medicare, 200 millions. TrumpSwamp PardonsForSale ImpeachTrumpAgain
Idgaf about that privileged criminal and you know it! I see the media is trying to do a real number on black people this election season. Go to hell!
Was it not the first black President - a Democrat - who colluded to put him jail? Do they know what happened?
What in the name of fuck?
This is not fake news you are now writing science fiction.
Narrator: It will not.
.....wwwwwwwwwhat?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
ffs
Who is 'him' in this teaser? Blagojevich or Trump? I'm not seeing either get any smidgens, FWIW. This is a profoundly weird take.
Rich white guy saves rich white guy, black community rejoices. Yeah okay.
Whoever wrote this should be checked for major head trauma
I do not think Africa Americans will vote for Trump because he pardoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich from prison. Trump is a racist and a corrupt narcissistic pathological liar who is unfit to be POTUS.
hahahah what
Just say’n
This was absolutely strategic. Trump is trying to peel off African Americans for the election. Please recognize you are being manipulated & played. I’m really disappointed in Rev. Jackson. Bringing that up at this point of time unwittingly played into trump’s hands.
Oh fo real, what Black community y’all been talkin to?!?! Musta missed that conference call
Was the one & only condition Blagojevich set for the person to whom he would *sell Obama’s senate seat (out of the goodness of his pure & righteous heart, of course) that buyer be an Illinoisan of African American descent? Good boy. No wonder “least racist person” pardoned him.
Incompetence.
Huh?
Are you insane? I live in Illinois. When Blago was convicted, I was working in a poly sci department at a major university- so plenty of Dems. Everyone was ecstatic. Like, partying in the halls ecstatic. No one in Illinois likes this guy. Apart from red hats, I guess, now.
hahaha. put the crack pipe down.
Are you on crack...or meth?
Lolwut? Did Blago get hit with the historical reimagination stick? He joined Gov Ryan in a longstanding IL tradition of a strong politics to prison pipeline. He had every stain of the dirty Chicago machine.
What black people in what state? Not Illinois? ShiaKapos trump will NEVER have credibility with black people. Don’t speak on things that you don’t know. Rod is another white dude getting away with shit a black person never would.
Lol holy shit no. Illinois hates him. And he fed one white guy, not thousands of nonviolent black prisoners.
Why do black people care about this guy?
Presidents don't usually do this until right before they leave office. Is Trump going somewhere (I wish)?
Da fuq?!
Politico done gone and jumped the shark.
😂😂😂😂 ...wait... you're serious? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's a crook, how does he even have any credibility?
Doubt anyone read this, so I'll just put this here. 'He endeared himself to the African American community for hiring black people in his administration and pushing for policies that benefited minorities.'
Why don't you just go on and glorify every corrupt white collar criminal while you're at it? That lede is such garbage. FY.
I don’t understand the headline. Trump endeared himself to the black community because Blago wasn’t racist? That’s stupid. He served enough time. A good pardon, his sentence was excessive.
WHAT!!!! Why do you pundits think Black people are gullible!!! We’re not!!!
Click bait. Everyone trying for an off the wall, hear me out angle. 🙄
Nope. No one in Illinois (where I live) wanted to see Rod get out early (except maybe his family). He embarrassed our state. He should have served the full sentence.
what.
What drugs are you on?
Wtf
Who the hell wrote this drivel?
Every TIME I think I've read the stupidest take imaginable... up pops another strong candidate. Congrats.
You didn't even bother get a black person to write this drivel
I literally know 0 Illinoisians that are cheering for this, black or white
Blagojevich tried to extort money for personal gain as a sitting Governor, to fill President Obama’s seat as a former Senator... and the black community of Illinois sees him as a hero? WTF?
Seriously doubt it. Trump's still a racist.
Look, I know Illinois has legal weed now and all, but you're too fuckin' high to be writing Op-eds.
Oh yes Trump wins 2020 now, Obsma blew it big time, Obama should háve Pardoned Blago
Oh bullshit
What the actual f*ck Politico.....
'Black community'? WTF is that? The corrupt media speaks to one or two elected Black officials or 'pastors', and suddenly they're the Black community. What does the White community think of the pardon?
Lmao this article Makes no sense
Why?
Uh no.
What black Dems?!?
Hey Politico, what a load of crap.
That's a real big leap there
Blago 2020!
Trump commutes Democrat’s sentence. Democrats:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Uhm, hell no.
Shia just stop.
He tried to sell Obama's seat. I'm in TX and don't have access to the shit you people are smoking, jealous.
Just a smidgen?
TF?
Bwahahaha
Blagojevich says he's now a 'Trumpocrat.' I hope others join him!
Dumbest take ever
LOLOLOLOL
WTAF?!
No... no it doesn’t.
He’s a criminal always
1 black woman for Super Bowls ads Lots of white powerful white friends, donor and war criminals...
Orange Man Bad!!!!!😂
Really? The guy who wanted to trade the first black senators seat for political favor?
Whaaaaat?!!
Maybe the 3 sentences of black women Trump commuted today will help more in the black community instead of the white governor he pardoned
He is pardoning white people. He pardoned Blago as payback to Comey.
Wtf? This mf ain't black where do this come from? Smh
