‘I'm a Trumpocrat’: Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich thanked President Trump for commuting his prison sentence

CHICAGO - Rod Blagojevich, a former Illinois governor forced out of office for trying to peddle Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat, thanked President Donald Trump on Wednesday for commuting his prison sentence and again proclaimed his innocence.

The 63-year-old Democrat was impeached and removed from office in 2009, and convicted two years later of wire fraud, extortion and soliciting bribes while serving as governor. “We want to express our most profound and everlasting gratitude to President Trump,” Blagojevich told reporters and curious onlookers as he stood outside his home on Chicago’s North Side, flanked by his wife and two daughters. Nearby was a sign reading “Thank You Mr. President” and a heart balloon swaying in the breeze.

Barf 🤢

Filling the swamp.

Heb er slechts een woord voor, bananenrepubliek.

Criminal!!!🤬

Look at the Dem shit flies attacking the guy that made Obama

Any remorse, contrition, apology, my bad....?

Trumporat..

He fucked up big time but eight years was enough. I hate Donald Chump but this was a fair call.

In a turn of events Trump frees democrat, now the left is calling for all dems to be locked up.

Disgrace! Manipulation to the max

apparently, there is no cure for narcissism.

Shows zero remorse, and even goes as far as to say that he was persecuted. This is who Trump pardons. 👀

This story makes me feel good. Blago did enough time, and deserves to be home.

President Trump knows best!

Where’s RonnyWoo?

He's always had to buy his friends....

God Speed sir!

His new job is Greeter at Trump Chicago.

I bet he did

It’s a good thing the thug n Chief is against corruption

So his hair was real?

I could have sworn he was a 'Douchecrat' or even an 'Idiocrat'.

Sickening. It's like a bad Batman movie.

You're a corrupt politician

Watch Dummycraps eat their own, just because Trump showed compassion unseen before.

How do you pay for the private security guards? Prison for 10 years, can’t imagine Patti has a large stash somewhere. 🤔

I think you mean TrumpTARD RodBlagojevich

Blagojevich was convicted of using his political power for personnel gain. Mike Milken used debt to raid corporations and put thousands of people out of jobs. Both are guilty of crimes that Trump is also guilty of. Projection is a major symptom of Trump’s mental illness.

Blagojevich has changed that's why he might consider becoming a Republican. He has paid his debt to society, no point of keeping him locked up!

WHY NOT?A sentenced criminal LOVES one that frees him from his cell.WHO in his/her right mind follow a financial criminal+compulsive liar+TRAITOR to AMERICA,WOULD DO SO,because he/she wants to be part of it!Simple.NOHONORABLE person would agree to be with pettypotus as such!

Good to have an official name for the crooks who get pardoned by another crook.

This Dark Knight Rises reboot sucks.

Trump needs crooks to do his dirty work, it’s the equivalent of the Joker getting all of his cronies out of jail so they can make his crimes happen for him.

I know Several people who done Major Federal Time FewRelatives and Their New MAIN CONCERN IS 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Finding out Whose been Smashing YOUR WIFE From Friends, Relatives and/or YOUR KIDS Thoughhh... 😒😒😒

So Blago is changing parties, then?

You cnt make this shit up

Hey, everybody! Crime pays now!

Blago should have stuck with the shoe polish. White hair is a BAD look for him. SAD!

Corrupt birds of a feather

Idiotcrat more like it

Now that he has a prison sentence on his resume, he can run for office as a Republican.

So Trump was fighting corruption in Ukraine GOPLeader really...

And like all Trumpocrats, he is thoroughly and utterly corrupt.

These replies make me support Trump.

Perhaps that is what Republican Party should be called instead, Trumpocratic party.

Wait till Trump asks him to repay the favor. He wont be such a Trumpocrat. More like Trumpohcrap.

Crook

Treasonous Trumpocrats...has a nice ring to it...

Trumpocrat: pro-corruption with a terrible hairdo

Scumbag
