Trump Ally Sheriff David Clarke Calls For “Pitchforks And Torches” Uprising Against Government And Media

Talking Points Memo reports:

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. tweeted Saturday that it was time for people to rise up and do something more than complain about a “corrupt” system. “It’s incredible that our institutions of gov, WH, Congress, DOJ and big media are corrupt and all we do is bitch,” Clarke said.

An outspoken critic of the Black Lives Matter movement, Clarke spoke out at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump in July. In a controversial CNN interview in July, Clarke argued that Black Lives Matter were responsible for violence against police.
