Darren Bailey's Facebook live was criticized, as the Republican nominee said 'let's move on' just 90 minutes after the Highland Park shooting.
has apologized for telling residents to"move on" from the Highland Park mass shooting 90 minutes after the horrific attack unfolded on the Fourth of July - and more than six hours before a suspect was arrested.
Standing in a parking lot and surrounded by about 20 supporters while details on the attack were still scarce, Bailey offered prayers for the families of victims and law enforcement responding to the scene about 15 miles away from where Skokie's own parade was supposed to take place. "This is what happens with MAGA type candidates," tweeted U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., referring to Bailey's endorsement from former President Donald Trump."They have been so trained with 'own the libs' and anger that they lost the ability to have compassion."
Bailey is widely considered the underdog in his campaign against incumbent Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker in November's general election.
