Sheriff thrills GOP: 'Blue Lives Matter'

Sheriff David Clarke: American safety has been shattered

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. brought the crowd at the Republican National Convention to its feet Monday night, declaring "Blue Lives Matter" to wild applause.

“We simply cannot be great if we do not feel safe in our homes, on our streets and in our communities,” Clarke said during his convention speech.

“Donald Trump understands that what can make our nation safe again is a recommitment to a system of justice in which no government official — not even those who have fought their way to the marble and granite halls of Washington — no private citizen, not even Hillary Clinton ... can claim privilege above the law.” Clarke’s speech received the biggest applause of the night up to that point.

“I see this every day at street level, where many Americans increasingly have an uneasiness about the ability of their families to live safely in these troubling times. This transcends race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age and lifestyle.”

Clarke wrote an op-ed in The Hill earlier Monday, arguing that Black Lives Matter is the enemy.

“We as a people need to declare that we stand with rule of law, and not with the false tales of the revolutionary Marxist forces, who most recently have rebranded themselves from Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter,” wrote Clarke.

I submit that Sheriff Clarke would make an EXCELLENT successor to that corrupt, bought-and-paid for Clinton toadie, aka James Comey of the FBI.

When I watched Clarke take down Lemon, I was reminded of that video where the reporter tells the All Star Wrestling Pro that Wrestling was fake.

Sheriff Clarke is an amazing man. He hit it out of the park.
I’d like to see a position for him in this administration.

FBI Director WOULD be excellent, wouldn’t it...

I think so Brother Hale, it’s good to see you!

As much as I hate to say it, I may be calling it a night soon, but I’m sure you’ll keep an eye out for any unexpected events ;)

Melania was amazing. Right from the heart. You can tell it was sincere, no act.

Have a great night!!!
