Bad takes: you want 'em, Rep. Darren Bailey's got 'em.
🚨⚠Bad Illinois Take Alert ⚠🚨
Darren Bailey, who represents Illinois' 109th district (Olney, Flora and Fairfield) is maybe the worst Illinois politician in recent memory. Today, he unloaded this doozy of a take - maybe the worst I've ever seen:

He's also an avid anti-vaxxer, and is a leading sponsor of HR-101, the "Secede-From-Chicago" proposal that has been picking up some publicity lately. I mentioned it earlier this week, but it goes without saying that this bill would actively hurt downstate for no intelligible reason.
