Last month, Johnson had a full-blown meltdown when a reporter used the term “illegal alien,” comparing it to calling black people slaves.

”The last thing that I’m going to do is accept the type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.”
President Trump, meanwhile, has suggested that both Johnson and Pritzker should be in prison themselves for refusing to protect federal law enforcement officers while they are doing their jobs and fulfilling the wishes of the American people.
