Sandoval has apologized for the pictures, saying the incident was unacceptable. He doesn’t condone violence against the President or anyone else.Governor Pritzker has said pointing a fake gun at anyone is insensitive and wrong, and doubled down on those comments on Monday.
"In this moment, especially, political stability is important," Pritzker said. "We also live in a moment when we have seen gun violence proliferate. I think it was important for me to speak out about it; important for Sen. Sandoval, as he did, to speak out about it."
