Illinois Democrats Push Racist, Sexist Bill to Force Women and People of Color on Corporate Boards

The Democrat-run state of Illinois has become a national for letting Hollywood con artist Jussie Smollett off the hook for staging a fake attack and blaming it on Trump supporters to invoke racial hate, and the state legislature is only adding to the disgrace as Democratic lawmakers invent new ways to discriminate.

State Rep.
