Los Angeles County Sheriff Alejandro Villanueva thinks he can survive at the ballot box in 2022. But the local Democratic Party establishment that helped elect this law-and-order Democrat in 2018 has turned against him, suggesting an uphill battle.
A series of events on June 8 captured his plight. The sheriff’s department spearheaded two major operations: a raid of more than 200 illegal marijuana farms in the remote high-desert north of the city described as the “largest illegal drug bust operation in the history of the department,” and a tour by Villanueva of the homeless encampments in Venice Beach to speak with residents, business owners, and the unhoused themselves. That same day, the L.A. County Democratic Party called for Villanueva’s resignation for “perpetuating a culture of police brutality” and failing to submit the department to more civilian oversight. An attempt to enforce the rule of law, then, was upstaged by a political statement—a lawman of the Democratic Party stymied not only by lawbreakers but by forces within his own party.
Before the George Floyd protests, Villanueva—a Latino veteran of the Air Force and California National Guard who boasts a doctorate in public administration and became the first Democrat to hold his elected post in 138 years—might have been considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, proof that Democrats could thread the needle between backing the blue and favoring reform. But Candidate Villanueva, the firebrand of 2018 who shockingly unseated an incumbent, has become Sheriff Villanueva of 2020, an enemy of his own party’s establishment. How did it happen? That depends on whom you ask.

The Democrat Party is a violent, anti-American death cult that makes Big Brother look like a libertarian.
But here might be the rare Democrat who is worthy of consideration, especially if his own party wants him out that badly.
Sounds like the sheriff is sheriffing. No wonder the Dems don’t want him.
Sounds like he needs to change parties.
The (former) Steeler guy?
When they start asking themselves figurative questions in the media, they don’t like him.
The BLM racists on the LA County Board don’t like Villanueva sticking up for his Mexican constituents. The BLM pigs, most of whom are fat, low-IQ white females, have been trying to get rid of Villanueva for years. The BLM pigs want to make the sheriff’s office an appointed position - appointed by the BLM.
The Mexicans outnumber the blacks and will likely take over and rule LA County in 2022.
For those who haven’t been keeping track - and you can’t keep track because the Nazi media has an embargo on reporting the ongoing race war between blacks and mexicans in California - Mexicans have been chasing blacks out of their ghettos for years.
Having the Mexicans in charge of LA, rather than fat, white, brainwashed BLM females, will be a win for our side.
