Will County GOP Chair spreads lies about the Illinois record to deflect from political failures and hypocrisy
We are honored by Shaun Thompson's praise of the Illinois Record and rebuke Will County GOP Chair Christina Clausen's crude insults and lies. We are backed by readers like you!
Shaun Thompson, a deservedly respected figure in the world of political criticism, has not only defended the Illinois Record's mission on his radio show but also referred to me as a friend. Shaun's endorsement is a significant political honor and a testament to the Illinois Record's credibility.
Please check out my interview with Shaun "from Elmwood Park" Thompson to learn why the Illinois Record Exists.

Shawn’s interview might give context to all the unfair smears and lies from political actors or their allies. The Illinois Record's articles do shatter many preconceived notions about honest people's political heroes. We strive to share political knowledge, which often comes at the expense of comfort.
Many of our readers donate hard-earned money and volunteer precious time to politicians or activists who may turn out to be talented, “confidence men.”
King David writes in Psalm 143:3, "Do not trust in princes, in the son of man, who has no salvation. His spirit leaves, and he returns to his soil; on that day, his thoughts are lost."
Several ILGOP leaders have slandered the Illinois ecord likely as a way to absolve our criticism of corruption, creepiness, and electoral losses. I feel the need to address the latest smear from an ILGOP Leader, Will County Committeeman Christina Clausen, who has reason to discredit the Illinois Record due to her election losses in Will County, financial support of Tom Devore, and the Chicago Democrat Party.

To be clear, I am not a Democratic plant, of sound mind and I take offense to the charge of being a Democrat considering the Democrat Party's dark History in America, Illinois, and Chicago.
Although I understand Clausen's cognitive bias against us, Clausen owes the basic decency to at least present evidence when slandering someone. When Christina makes serious claims against me without evidence, it hurts her credibility as much as mine.

Clausen's smears appear to stem from two ulterior motives.
One is the Illinois Record’s accurate article on Tom Devore.

And the other is that the Illinois record follows a Twitter account critical of Clausen called "Will County Clown Car."
Twitter/ @willclowncar . The Illinois Records follow local Republican, Democrat, and independent Twitter news accounts to maximize the quality and depth of our articles.
I do not work with or know the identity of the Twitter account, and I likely DISAGREE with the person on most political issues. However, the Illinois Record agrees with Clown Cars' public criticism that Clausen constantly loses elections for Republicans and is melodramatic to the point of tragic paranoia or political comedy.
Clausen anointing the Illinois Record as Democrat plants only makes me more confident in my beliefs that she is sadly or comically paranoid, which leads to false accusations and gives ammunition to Democrats to take down republican credibility.
If I were a plant, let it be known that I would first keep Christina Clausen as Will County GOP. She famously lost an election to a whole slate of Democratic-backed candidates in a Republican primary. Not being able to win multiple republican races in a republican primary, with the backing of Ilgop and donors, is akin to the Chicago Cubs losing to the Iowa Cubs and should be enough of a reason for Clausen to step down

Clausen publicly says she was a huge day 1 Trump Supporter but had no idea about politics until Jack Lombardi ran for Congress in 2022.
However, if Clausen only has three years of political thought, we ask that she step down from ILGOP leadership and let someone who has experience or at least been thinking about politics for more than three years represent the party.
Yet, is there more to the story? Clausen's claim of political ignorance and full support for Trump might not be consistent with reality.
I could be biased as someone who went to local zoning meetings at age 8, but I find it hard to believe that someone never thought about politics until their 40s. I can imagine changing parties, but it's hard to imagine complete ignorance of making it a top priority.
The idea that she is there to help Trump does not align with that her construction company gave 5,000 dollars to the 34th Ward Democratic Organization in 2018, two years after Trump became president. President Trump would not support giving to Chicago Democrats who, in 2018, were protesting and baselessly accusing Trump of conspiracies.

Giving to a local Democratic organization in 2018 certainly dispels Clausen's claim that she was not involved in local politics until Jack Lombardi's 2022 congressional run.
Additionally, Clausen was a registered Democrat until 2016, voting in the 2008 Democratic primary. President Trump may have affected her beliefs, but it's hard to imagine that she had no real opinions about politics as an Illinois construction company owner until 2016 (the year she first registered as a Republican).
The fact that she called a critic a plant could be an example of self-projection; she may be the plant after all. But we make no accusation and give Clausen the benefit of the doubt that she is just in deep denial over her financial support over creepy bully (mostly of women) Tom Devore. The Illinois Record probably shares many of Clausen's beliefs on COVID-19 and constitutional rights (unless she is in fact a democrat plant).
But I also deny Clausen's ridiculous clause that the Illinois record bullies Republican women.
Let the record show that out of 54 and likely over 100 people receiving negative coverage on our blog, only 4 to 5 women have received negative coverage.
With a 5 to 95% ratio, perhaps the Illinois Record should attack more women in the name of equality—just kidding.
Ironically, the other reason for Clausen's ire appears to be our reporting on Tom Devore for bullying a young girl, single mother, and business owner.

Clausen emailed the Illinois record, "I don't care about some chick and her family." and then threatened my father who is a Republican Candidate for Congress to retaliate against him for the article he had nothing to do with.
Email/ I emailed GOP Committeeman my article about Tom Devore bullying a girl half his age and above was Christina’s vulgar response. Nore, Devore may again be the coverage another Illinois Record article about his continued bullying of women.
The Illinois record is out for no gender, person, or political party to document hypocrisy that will deter future attempts.
As a Republican with over 15 years of experience in local politics and have been thinking about politics for far longer, I am committed to exposing hypocrisy, whether within the Republican or Democratic parties. If you have any tips, please share them with us at Illinoisrecord@gmai.com. I happen to know more about the Republican party (because I am one).
The Bible is clear that we must be more challenging our own groups than strangers, even if they are pagan or democrat.
Just ask the Levi’s after the sin of the golden calf, Pinchas after the blasphemous orgy, or listen to King Solomon who was asked by his brother after he had just acended to the throne ‘"Let king Solomon swear to me today, that he shall not kill his servant with the sword." And Solomon said, ‘"If he will be a valiant man, even one hair of his shall not fall to the ground, but if wickedness will be found in him, he shall die.”’
