We might want to rethink DEI and a left-wing political stance as the sole qualifications for high-level law enforcement positions.
Via Fox News:
A North Carolina House Oversight Committee hearing spurred on by the recent killing of a young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska, in Charlotte, took an unexpected turn when [Republican State Representative Allen] Chesser asked Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden, “What branch of government do you operate under?”
McFadden, who is the top law enforcement officer in the county where Zarutska was killed, simply answered, “Mecklenburg County,” prompting Chesser to repeat, “What branch of government do you operate under, sheriff?”
McFadden’s next guess was “Constitution of the United States.”
Chesser remarked, “This is not where I was anticipating getting stuck. Um, are you aware of how many branches of government there are?” The sheriff quickly shot back, “No.”
At least he answered that last question correctly.
Chesser continued, “For the sake of debate, let’s say there are three branches of government: legislative, executive, judicial. Of those three, which do you fall under?”
McFadden guessed “judicial,” probably because it was the last one listed and the only one he could remember.
As for why McFadden has refused to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, he previously averred the following:
“We do not have a role in enforcement whatsoever, we do not have to follow the rules and the laws that are governed by our lawmakers in Raleigh.”
McFadden’s conspicuous cognitive impairment makes it unlikely that he could have secured his lofty position if not for his race. We are getting to the point where DEI is not funny anymore and needs to end before it destroys our country.

Just be glad he’s not a pilot.

lol
He should be mopping up the floor at the local McDonald’s.
Ok, all that is blatantly obvious. My only question I have is, does he get another gold stripe on his sleeve for being at the hearing?
Jeez, Mech. Co...elect better!
What an embarrassment!
>> Not only is the sheriff ignorant, he looks ignorant. He looks like he was plucked out of the hobo jungle. He makes Steppin Fetchit look like Einstein.
Maybe so, but he got some BITCHIN’ bling! Lookee at all them gold stars! Don’t you know he puts on all that fancy stuff and looks in the mirror and says “Woo-wee! You one fine lookin’ uh I better stop right there. :-)
I’m no dummy but I had to look it up.
That was painful to watch.
He is an elected official. Proving, yet again, elections have consequences.
Probably zero chance he could ever be bought off.
4 stars LOL
Sure he learned that, but not in civics class.
I saw the video a couple days ago. It’s not something I had ever considered but 30 seconds of brain cogitating led me to the correct answer.
> I’m no dummy but I had to look it up.<
But did you ever take an oath to uphold something you knew very little about?

Generalissimo!
I think he and you know there are three branches of government. I’d give him a pass on the follow up question though.
