We typically say Illinois is 3 states. The Chicago area is Chicago and people who pretend they’re from Chicago and enjoy all the trappings of all of that. Then there’s Central Illinois which is basically Indiana. Then there’s Southern Illinois which is basically St. Louis. 

“...the Hoosier pork tenderloin sandwich (as it’s commonly known)...”

Right now he’s saying it’s because the media is being mean. Something about their tone when they cover him? 

Rachel Maddow questioned him about that, too. 

“If you want to accept gay people, and not just because it makes you feel better about yourself, you have to accept that they may do things that you find grotesque but that make them no less acceptable and no less human.”
