CBS 2 Chicago: Blagojevich "breaks silence" over hate crimes panel controversy

Mike Parker of CBS 2 Chicago made that claim tonight. Here's what he wrote:

Gov. Rod Blagojevich briefly broke his silence on the hate crime commission controversy Wednesday night.

One member’s ties to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan have resulted in the resignation of five members.

But as he arrived for a $250 a ticket fundraiser Wednesday night in a downtown high rise, the governor would not talk about the issue or those resignations.

“Things are going forward, and we’re all about encouraging people to work together,” he said, but did not respond when the fifth resignation was brought up.

That's what Parker calls breaking silence? It's not as if Francisco Franco made those comments.
