A Pennsylvania sheriff who describes himself as a lifelong Democrat is backing President Trump amid nationwide unrest and calls to defund police.
"I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me," Westmoreland County Sheriff James Albert said Saturday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."
"The past few months with the goings-on in the news media with the protests, the riots, the looting, burning, assaults on law enforcement ... the silence of the Democratic Party was deafening," he said.
After more than 40 years in law enforcement as a Democrat, Albert, 70, switched to the Republican Party on Monday.
"I always considered myself a conservative Democrat," he said. "As the time went on and the party moved to the left, I started to see I was more in line thinking as a Republican."
Albert thought former vice president Joe Biden was a good candidate for president until recently. "He's alluded to the fact of cutting funds for police, so I'm very skeptical of Biden-Harris. ... The party's moved to the left, and he's kind of moved along with them," Albert said.
The sheriff said others have called him to say they are making the same switch in the battleground state, where the president is campaigning Saturday.
"I believe that Pennsylvania will vote for President Trump," Albert said, despite polls showing Trump trailing.

Where it is going to hurt the Dems will be in the Dem's hollowed out cities. These people at pissed at the Dems and know they dare not say anything lest they be beat up or worse. Some may even take up some of these phony mail in ballots and fill a bunch for Trump just to try to get even with these Sickos.
IMHO: The Dem cities are going to take a long time to get back to what they were if ever. Some are simply going to fail (as was the intention of the party). Pelosi is fighting for city bailouts but it is not going well.
James Albert is a good man. He is from a small town on the northeast corner of our county.
“The only thing I EVER want to hear a Democrat say is ‘I was WRONG! I am voting for Trump!’”

Somewhere in Heaven, Zell Miller is smiling.
I was in Philadelphia in late 2016, and was shocked to see many Trump 2016 signs everywhere. People in cars tooting their horns as they drove around with Trump signs on their cars. And the people I encountered were giving a thumbs-up for Trump. That was shocking to me, as I always thought Philadelphia to be solid Democrat. I think many will vote for Trump in 2020, again.
The Rat party left America well before Lincoln. But what the heck, better late than never.
