Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth endorses Donald Trump in USA TODAY opinion piece

[RandySF]

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth has jumped into the national political fray by endorsing President Donald Trump's reelection.

"Wisconsin, and all of America, needs a leader who will uphold the law, or we won’t have a country left," Beth wrote Saturday in an opinion piece that appeared on the USA TODAY website.

Beth's endorsement comes a month after civil unrest erupted in the city of Kenosha following the shooting of Jacob Blake by a police officer.

During Trump's Sept. 1 visit to Kenosha, Beth was among those who participated in a roundtable discussion with the president.

"The president arrived with a plan to provide the critical resources needed to keep our community safe," Beth wrote.

Early on in the crisis, Beth said Gov. Tony Evers did not reject any proposal from Kenosha law enforcement and worked with them to mobilize more National Guard troops. Republicans have said Evers did not do enough in the early days of the unrest.

5. USA Today?!?!?

A sheriff from a county with 400,000 people has an opinion worthy of a national newspaper's editorial page?
Why?
Nobody asked our sheriff to write a national op-ed and this county almost twice as populated.
This is a stupid decision by USA Today.
What he thinks is not noteworthy on a national basis.
After all, he is among those who lost control of the situation in Kenosha.
His opinion is of nearly zero value.

6. So he's a sheriff who supports the Murderous, Treasonous

Putin Puppet. That makes him one, too.

8. He's a racist prick.

We have video of him a few years back being very candid about his racism and desire for brutality.
