Potential Homeland Security Head Mocks “Coddled, Petulant Snowflakes” Who Protest Against Trump

“I’m a pretty tough cop but a country run by these entitled, coddled, petulant snowflakes makes me cringe. We saw what happens to this everyone-gets-a-trophy generation when the real world, in the form of a Donald Trump victory, makes them confront reality. They absolutely crumble. The simpering, whimpering kids we see protesting this election are indeed the future – and it’s one where law and order can go out the window. So despite the mandate for America’s future to continue under and for the Constitution, we will have to deal with the fact that a separate, deadbeat culture has been bubbling alongside America’s. The most profound irony in this post election period is that it may take government force in the form of police to ensure that peaceful transition of power.” – Sheriff David Clarke, the reported front-runner to be named head of Homeland Security.

You may recall that Clarke literally called for “pitchforks and torches” if Trump were to lose the election. More from Right Wing Watch:

Clarke has made a name for himself as a Fox News pundit and avid supporter of the gun lobby, using his platform in the media to attack Black Lives Matter, which he describes as a lawless, “subversive” and potentially ISIS-linked group composed of “black slime” that must be “eradicated,” and to champion the cause of anti-government militants, whom he praises as patriots.

When white supremacists murdered six people at a Sikh temple in Milwaukee County, Clarke faced criticism for being “AWOL.” In September, an inmate died of thirst in a jail run by Clarke. He reportedly begged for water “in the days before he died.” He has also compared Beyonce to a Ku Klux Klan member, called for the Great Seal of the United States to feature a semi-automatic rifle, and repeatedly demanded a literal uprising against the government in protest of President Obama’s gun violence proposals, potential election rigging and marriage equality.
