Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has drawn criticism after making disparaging remarks directed at Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old former employee of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Coristine was recently beaten while defending a woman from a carjacking in Washington, D.C. Pritzker's comments, which referenced Coristine's nickname "Big Balls," have sparked backlash from various political commentators and organizations. The incident highlights tensions involving Pritzker and former DOGE staff members, with critics condemning the governor's remarks as inappropriate given the circumstances of Coristine's assault.
