In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker jokingly announced plans to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay, drawing parallels to former President Trump's past claims. Pritzker's announcement also references a potential future renaming of the Mississippi River.
In a seemingly satirical video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the governor revealed he was making"an important announcement"
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced plans Friday to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay."The world's finest geographers, experts who study the Earth's natural environment, have concluded a decades-long council and determined that a great lake deserves to be named after a great state. So today, I'm issuing a proclamation declaring that hereinafter, Lake Michigan shall be known as Lake Illinois.
In his video, Pritzker then switches his attention to a city near Lake Michigan in neighboring Wisconsin -- a city Illinoisans know well. "In addition, the recent announcement that to protect the homeland, the United States will be purchasing Greenland ... Illinois will now be annexing Green Bay to protect itself against enemies, foreign and domestic," Pritzker said in the video."I've also instructed my team to work diligently to prepare for an important announcement next week regarding the Mississippi River. God bless America and bear down. Thank you.
Pritzker has long been a vocal critic of Trump and the footage comes just one day after the Department of Justice
