OpEd: The Infamous Mike Z and the Republican Children of the Damned Continue to Destroy the Illinois GOP and Run Billionaire Ken Griffin Out of Town with the Largest Political Ponzi Scheme in Illinois GOP History (Chicago, IL) — Ken Griffin announced Thursday that he is moving his headquarters to Miami. His hedge fund and investment firm, both named Citadel, have been in Chicago for 30 years. According to the Chicago Journal, a Citadel spokesman says that the decision has nothing to do with politics. It’s crazy to believe that Ken Griffin’s decision isn’t politically motivated as he’s been threatening to leave for years to push political goals. Ken Griffin made the announcement 5 days out from a Republican Primary in which he gave $50 million dollars to Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin in the GOP Governor’s race.

That GOP Governor’s race has been utter disaster. The campaign run by Mike Zolnierowicz, better known as “Mike Z”, has alienated Black Republicans throughout the GOP primary. The “Z” Team is responsible for the loss of Rauner the second time, the loss of Mark Kirk, and now the disgraceful loss that Irvin will take come Tuesday.

The “Z” team should have never been in charge of electing the first Black governor of Illinois, as he has no Black people on his team. His team of young white men that I will hereafter refer to as the Republican Children of the Damned have been messing up Republican elections in Illinois for years now, and it has to stop. We even heard that they have infiltrated all four of the top GOP Governor’s campaigns and have their minions everywhere. It’s been rumored that they have infiltrated Bailey’s campaign.

Any time that any campaign team believes Black voters aren’t important during a GOP primary, that team has a serious problem and will continue to lose elections in Illinois. Mike Z and his Republican Children of the Damned received a huge payoff of $30,000 each back in May as they were exiting the disaster that they created. Brian Alexander, who at one point was the lone black person working on the campaign, got a measly $1,250 in March. To compare, one Kaylee Carlson received payroll payments of $13,044.19 on February 4th, $7,112.71 on February 16th, $7,112.71 on March 1st, and $7,112.71 on March 15th. Irvin’s full campaign expenditures list through March 2022 can be found here: Committee Expenditure Report

Mike Z, who was previously Rauner’s chief of staff during his first term, and again showed his disdain for Black Republicans. If you’re active in Illinois Republican politics, we could probably name off a list of about 10 to 15 very well known and active Black Republican leaders, none of whom were offered a place in Rauner’s administration because of Mike Z.

Mike Z and his Republican Children of the Damned will probably try to blame Irvin’s loss Tuesday on racism in the Illinois GOP. But it was not the racism in the party that lost the primary for Irvin, it was the infamous Mike Z and his goons that have a disdain for Black people and ran an uppity campaign that disrespected Republican voters across this state. Mike Z thought his campaign was too good to allow voters to speak to Irvin. Mike Z didn’t think Black people mattered. Mike Z didn’t believe that Irvin should talk to the media. Mike Z foolishly tried to trick Republican voters into believing that a strong conservative like Bailey was actually a liberal. Mike Z and the Republican Children of the Damned pulled off a Ponzi scheme and lined their pockets at the expense of Ken Griffin and Richard Irvin.

Does this look like they were trying to elect Richard Irvin or fleece a billionaire like they did Rauner? They had experience on how to fleece a billionaire because they just did it to Rauner. They should return that money and give one of the only Black people on the campaign the same as they paid the white campaign people.

These are some young spoiled little brats and the parents of these Republican Children of the Damned should pull their belts out and spank their little tails and at least put them out of the Republican Party.
