Officials in the President Donald Trump administration are considering Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. for a job with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Clarke is to be appointed as assistant secretary at the department's Office of Partnership and Engagement where he would coordinate outreach to state and local law enforcement agencies, Politico, an online news company, reported Friday. The position of assistant secretary does not require Senate confirmation.

On Friday, sources confirmed that news of the possible appointment is coming out now because Trump officials recently completed their background check of the sheriff. Trump staffers are a few steps away from making the appointment. One source said it could take more than a month to finish the process.

...............
On Friday, Clarke was in Atlanta speaking at a leadership conference for the National Rifle Association,................................

In his speech Friday, Clarke told the gun-rights activists: "You see, our fight for freedom continues in earnest," according to a report on The Washington Times website. "You see, these rat bastards on the left never give up."

5. go ahead and gather up all the garbage

When that ship sinks it's taking all those mf'ers too. Gather up all that scum and all that villainy so those "rat bastards" can all drown in a swamp of their glorious leaders creation.

yes, I know this is strongly worded, but this shit is insane. Every day is more insane than the next and it's being completely ignored by a good chunk of this country, and they know who they are.

6. Clarke's a confused, delusional piece of shit with way too much time

on his hands. He tweets a mountain of pure right wing, racist bullshit.

Clarke doubles down on Bill O'Reilly's Maxine Waters/ James Brown "wig" commentary. He sings the praises of fellow nut jobs like ;ex-con, Bernard Kerik, Judge Jeaine Pirro, Michele Malkin and nazi sympathizer, Sebastian Gorka. .
