Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner offered conflicting statements Tuesday on a political cartoon critics have called racist, first saying he didn't have anything to add to the discussion "as a white male" before walking it back hours later.

Scott Stantis and Bruce Quast have made a living out of making fun of some of the most powerful people in Illinois. Stantis draws political cartoons for the Chicago Tribune, and Quast draws for the Rockford Register-Star.  Both discuss the details of drawing Illinois politicians.
