Patti Blagojevich calls Rauner campaign Snapchat filter of Blago disgusting

A Snapchat filter featuring the famous hair — and federal inmate number — of imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich has the former first lady of Illinois fuming.

Patti Blagojevich says it’s “disgusting” that Gov. Bruce Rauner’s campaign is using “this sickening snap chat filter” in its attempts to link her husband to Democratic gubernatorial nominee J.B. Pritzker.

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court began considering Rod Blagojevich’s request to hear his appeal. A decision could be announced as soon as Monday.

Snapchat filters allow users to place their face into different images and landscapes.

The Rauner campaign filter — which was only available Friday to users outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., — allowed people to virtually wear Blagojevich’s famous coif. It also featured his federal inmate number and a cartoon of Pritzker holding a poster that reads “Break Out Blago!”

I have to agree with Patti Blagojevich on this. Disgusting, totally disgusting for the reasons she stated in the article. In my years, I have found that the republicans like this type of personal attack. It's not just disgusting, it is truly sick. They need to suffer resounding defeat at the polls.

had to pay because of rauner's inability to govern, sign a budget and operate without issuing bonds in a timely manner for debt repayment and running up the cost of borrowing. How much of that added cost of borrowing went into the hands of rauner and his circle of friends who most likely Illinois debt with great interest payouts they received? I wonder.

Because he hasn't got one to run on. There isn't a single thing he can point to and say, "I accomplished this."

not given one iota of consideration to a politicians children when from the opposing party. Their hypocrisy also applies to First Ladies - hannity mocked Michelle Obama but want us to leave (did she come here legally) melania trump alone.

However I am happy to see/read Chelsea Clinton and/or the Bush twins speak up when cretins go after children of the president, regardless of party.
