An Ohio sheriff who threatened local supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris is doubling down on his dangerous rhetoric, insisting that people need to “accept responsibility” for their political leanings.
Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski took to Facebook on Tuesday to elaborate on his controversial remarks that spurred the sudden, protesting resignation of a county commissioner from the local Republican committee.
“As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of Portage County, I have sworn to protect ALL citizens of my County. Recently, I placed a post on my personal facebook page that may have been a little misinterpreted??” Zuchowski wrote on his official page.
“I … as the elected sheriff, do have a First Amendment right as do all citizens. If the citizens of Portage County want to elect an individual who has supported open borders (which I’ve personally visited Twice!) and neglected to enforce the laws of our Country … then that is their prerogative,” Zuchowski continued. “With elections, there are consequences. That being said … I believe that those who vote for individuals with liberal policies have to accept responsibility for their actions! I am a Law Man … Not a Politician!”

Um, ackshually, as the elected sheriff, I bet that oath he swore doesn’t have the word “citizens” in it at all, and he’s supposed to be protecting all the humans in his county, whether or not they are citizens.
Actually according to the supreme court they have no duty to protect anyone at all
Just in case anyone thinks you’re being cheeky… https://prospect.org/justice/police-have-no-duty-to-protect-the-public/
And as an elected sheriff, he’s literally a politician…
Which is probably the real reason he’s doing this, it’s for votes. Except now it’s blown up so people that do t agree with him are seeing it
