Donald Trump is meeting with Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke at Trump Tower on Monday afternoon as he seeks to fill out his remaining Cabinet positions.
Clarke, who has called the Black Lives Matter movement “vile” and “slimy,” is reportedly in the running to lead the Department of Homeland Security and its 240,000 employees, who span immigration enforcement, the U.S. Secret Service, the TSA and other functions.
Clarke, who ran for sheriff as a Democrat, has become a hero in the conservative movement in recent years for opposing the Black Lives Matter movement and efforts to reform the criminal justice system. In a fiery July speech at the Republican National Convention, Clarke brought the crowd to its feet as he chanted “Blue Lives Matter,” a reference to police uniforms. He celebrated the acquittal of a Baltimore police officer in the death of Freddie Gray during the speech.
“These are truths that are self-evident to me, and which I practice, and they are the truths that Donald Trump understands and supports,” he said. “Donald Trump is the steadfast leader our nation needs.”

Appointing Mitt Romney or Petraeus to ANYTHING is just refilling it.
I can see Sheriff Clark in the Trump cabinet....and I would be proud to see what ever position he is selected for...
Just a couple of minutes ago Sheriff Clarke was on the Trump lobby cam, walking out.
You want to see him fiery? Put him in a room with Don Lemon.
I’m dead set against this. I understand the desire. We need him here.
I’m a Texan and love the hat , also .
Sorry, you’ll have to find a protégé. The nation needs his service now.
he should hire Sheriff Clarke AND Sheriff Joe for his administration
Pick Clarke and groom him as your successor.
I like the Sheriff but I admit I just had a “Blazing Saddles” flashback!
Not as long as he is “UNDER ARMS”, as long as he is wearing that badge he is “UNDER ARMS”.
240,000 employees?? Really?? That’s like half the population of Wyoming. Sounds like we need Ron Swanson!
Outstanding!
Black, ran as a Democrat and not afraid of anyone.
BADASS, I have the utmost RESPECT for this Person!
compared to wimpy pacifist racist president, Clark is fiery
“DHS needs to be destroyed - completely dismantled.”
When the DHS first came to light in the RINO Bush administration I had two thoughts. The word “Homeland” reminded me of the Nazi term “Fatherland”, and sooner or later it would be used against us.
It never should have been created. All that was needed was to restructure how existing agencies interacted.
Lots of horsemen keep their hats on indoors. Clarke is a horseman. One reason is that it is easy to ruin a hat by putting it down wrong. Us cowboy types are real careful with our hats.
NO disagree 100%.... make David Clarke the Secretary of Homeland Security and turn him loose on criminal activity. No one between him and the POTUS.
I like the hat. Adds to his flair.
I live in New Mexico, hats are
good here also.
Sheriff Clarke needs to strap
on a set of spurs and get to work.
“I like Sheriff Clark and his hat. I am Texan and hats are good.”
I’m a Californian wth a wife from Nevada. We are both “good” with a Stetson too!
Outside our moronic coastal cities, Western wear is quite prevalent here as well.
