David Clarke (Milwaukee County Sheriff) has to be the most irresponsible law enforcement official in the country. Today he is blaming all of the wrong people for violence at Donald Trump’s campaign rallies:
I would say, look at some of the rhetoric and language used by Mrs. Bill Clinton and Bernie Sanders at their rallies and at their debates. How they criticize the police, they attack the police, they stoke up racial animosity. The president of the United States is the one that created this division, stoking up racial discord, class warfare, gender warfare, for the last eight years. For people to blame this on Donald Trump, is way out of bounds.
Meanwhile, other (more sensible) Republicans are blaming Trump himself. But to a guy who seems to be a machine which produces for Fox News soundbites, when Republican supporters throw a punch, it’s always going to be some liberal’s fault. Not the folks committing or inciting the violence. Nope.
And Mrs. Bill Clinton, really?
