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.

I hope he picks him.
Love Sheriff Clarke! :)
Sheriff David Clarke is not “firey”. He’s principled and courageous. The hacks at Yahoo are just trying to unfairly characterize him as a loose cannon.
I was hoping Trump would put Clarke in charge of the FBI, but DHS is fine too.
DHS needs to be destroyed - completely dismantled. Clarke would be great as head of the Justice Dept.
I love Clarke too-—without the dreadful hat that he started wearing.
He was indoors for the segments——and had that hat on.
.
Yes, please!!!
Nothing but love for Sheriff Clarke ~ he will help us to MAGA!
Go, Trump, GO!
This is so much fun watching my man put his Dream Team Cabinet together..
MAGA!
That’s the kind of thing Trump notices.
I like Sheriff Clark and his hat. I am Texan and hats are good.
I wonder what his carry weapon is? I would think a Para 19ll 45 ACP.
Sheriff Clark or Colonel West, I would gladly follow into battle. They both are damn good men.
Ditto!
Excellent! Love that man.
I guess I missed it. What sort of hat was he wearing?
The only time he’s firey is when BLM starts one and he’s got to put it out and pee on the ashes.
” I am Texan and hats are good.”

Sure they are,but they should be removed indoors.
.
I’d be happy with anyone who isn’t Islamic.
Yes! I work for DHS. We need strong leadership.
A cowboy hat——lord knows why.
I saw it in about 1/2 dozen interviews.
