(CHICAGO) Taping “Connected to Chicago with Bill Cameron” for Sunday night at 7, Democratic candidate for governor Chris Kennedy was controversial talking about Gov Rauner’s GOP challenger State Representative Jeanne Ives.

Chris Kennedy is candid. When Cameron asked who he’d rather run against, Bruce Rauner or Jeanne Ives, he brought up religion and said Ives “has no moral core” that he can identify with.

“You know Jeannie Ives, it’s kind of interesting to me, she’s proved you can be a Catholic without being Christian,” said Kennedy. “And if you want evidence of that, you can see the ad that she ran attacking immigrants in the United States which were largely the people of Abraham in this country. We don’t attack immigrants. To attack the LGBT community in that ad. That’s not what we do.”

The Ives campaign has a biting response. It says, “Chris Kennedy might want to check with Cardinal Cupich or Pope Francis on matters like respecting and protecting unborn life before he starts excommunicating people from the Church.” It adds “Kennedy is just another vacuous, virtue-signaling Leftist hack who worships at the altar of big government and prays to the almighty Mike Madigan.”
