President Donald Trump during Tuesday night’s debate said he secured the endorsement of the “Portland sheriff” -- presumably a reference to Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese.

Reese shortly after tweeted that was false. “In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the ‘Portland Sheriff’ supports him," Reese said on Twitter. "As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.”

I thought I heard about a Portland endorsement last week. Anyone know of one?

[aimhigh]

Needs Oregon ping.

PA sheriff just recent endorsed the President.

Could be a simple slip.
Or it could be trolling to make sure that everyone in Oregon knows that their sheriff does not support law and order.

Trump was probably talking about a sheriff near the portland area, there are lots of them. I’m sure he will clear it up soon.

[LibertyWoman]

Or, he may have supported him but was threatened into ‘changing his mind’.

[FlipWilson]

Whether that Sherrif supports Trump or not, Trump supports him.

It was a PA sheriff. He got the wrong town name.

I refer Freepers to my tagline.

and that is why their county burns. They don’t understand. Anything. You name it, they don’t understand it.

*IF* the sheriff remains faithful to his oath of office.

[gibsonguy]

He’s trying to save his job. If he hadn’t said this he would be gone by end of day.

LOL, sounds like Trump set a trap.

[Boomer]

It’s Portland; the butthole of the bluest area of Oregon.

[Socon-Econ]

That sheriff could expect a midnight visit by Antifa if he were to endorse Trump.

[CalWildcat]

I think he meant the Kenosha sheriff. He has mentioned that in his rallys. He probably just misspoke.

[DoughtyOne]

This sheriff should resign.

If that’s their take on things, they’re not fit to hold the
office.

I expect lame-brains to get it wrong. I don’t expect
someone with authority to.

Evidently this sheriff can’t even live up to their oath of
office.

Resign then.

"It was a PA sheriff. He got the wrong town name."

And, of course, the media jumped on it, rather than on the fact that Biden couldn't name one law enforcement agency that endorsed him. Nor did the media jump on any of Biden's obvious, blatant lies.

[KeyLargo]

Kenosha Sheriff supports Trump

[JimRed]

He probably just misspoke.

I mostly love the guy, but he misspeaks much too often. Then they accuse him of lying.

[CapandBall]

He said Sheriff (he meant Chief of Police)

Portland Chief of Police publicity supports him, not Multnomah County Sheriff
