Blagojevich praises, endorses Trump

CHICAGO – Former Illinois Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich gushed about Donald Trump a day after the Republican president set him free from a federal prison, delivering a 20-minute monologue Wednesday outside his Chicago home that sounded like an extended campaign commercial. Standing before a crowd of more than 100 reporters and well-wishers at the steps of his house, the governor-turned-convicted felon even offered an endorsement of Trump’s bid for a second term. “I’m a Trumpocrat,” said the one-time contestant on Trump’s reality TV show, “Celebrity Apprentice.” “If I had the ability to vote, I would vote for him.” Felons in Illinois can vote once they leave prison, although they have to register again, according to the state Board of Elections. The carnival feel of his first scheduled news event since going free included a giant photo of Blagojevich’s head, which the two-term governor signed for the person holding it.
