Illinois State Representative Adam Niemerg, a Republican representing the state's 102nd House District, used his social media platform over several days in September 2025 to criticize Governor J.B. Pritzker's recent public statements and actions. In a series of posts, Niemerg accused the governor of divisive rhetoric and political opportunism following a recent tragedy.

On September 11, Niemerg posted, "Governor Pritzker’s rhetoric isn’t just distasteful—it’s dangerous. In a moment that demanded leadership, he shamelessly exploited tragedy for politics. Instead of unity, he chose hatred.

Worse, the media stays silent. If a Republican said this, the outrage would be nonstop."

The following day, on September 12, Niemerg announced an upcoming appearance on national television with another state lawmaker: "Tune into ⁦@NEWSMAX⁩ at 4:25! ⁦@RealRepChrisMi1⁩ and I will lay out the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT against ⁦@GovPritzker⁩."

On September 13, Niemerg continued his criticism by quoting remarks attributed to Governor Pritzker and referencing political blame after a recent death: "When Governor Pritzker declared that Republicans “cannot know a moment of peace,” he revealed just how reckless and divisive his leadership has become. Now, in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death, he has doubled down — blaming Donald Trump and January 6.

Meanwhile, Pritzker"

Niemerg began serving as Illinois State Representative for the 102nd District in 2023 after replacing Darren Bailey.
