CHICAGO – CapitolFax's Rich Miller has been covering this Pritzker campaign embarrassment Friday – resulting in two of the Pritzker campaign staff losing their jobs. The whole kerfuffle is because Pritzker campaign staff posted a photo of Pritzker's deputy Get Out the Vote Director on Instagram earlier this week:

"What a stupid thing to do," Miller wrote on his blog where Democrats and Springfield insiders gather. "Your campaign is being sued for racial discrimination and you pose for this photo and a top official posts it online? I don’t care if it was a charcoal face mask. Nobody thinks over there? What’s the opposite of 'woke'?"

And the coincidence of this hitting the internet the same day talk show host Megan Kelly was fired from her NBC show for defending Halloween costumes with black faces made Pritzker's staff's behavior even more sensitive.

More at CapitolFax. Warning: CapitolFax's commenters there cannot and will not tolerate or welcome conservatives.
