Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke Hits Dem Mayor for '€˜Cheap Shot' on Gov. Walker
[Breitbart London] Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) criticized Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) for blaming gun violence in Milwaukee on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) on Wednesday's "Kelly File" on the Fox News Channel.

"When you're a liberal politician, the tendency is that when you have no solutions to what's going on in a city, a state, a country, you blame political adversaries. This was a cheap shot by Mayor Tom Barrett, but it's important to add that Tom Barrett lost twice in [the] race for Governor against Scott Walker, and there's probably some residual bitterness. Mayor Barrett is also a disciple, and on the board of the mayors against the Second Amendment, Michael Bloomberg's group and Mayor Barrett was just regurgitating from Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun talking points memo. Mayor Barrett has been the Mayor of Milwaukee for ten years, this stuff's been going on for a long time, and it's his failed policies that have led us to where we're at today" Clarke stated.

#1 From the interviews Clarke has given, he sounds like a conservative. The "D" after his name surprised me. Maybe he is one of those very rare blue dog democrats from yesteryear. Someone should inform him that his party has been taken over by the mean-spirited, corrupt radical left.

#2 Ah, how that "D" imbues immunity, particularly when one is classified by the inner party as a protected group. They can't do anything short of an old style Democratic lynching to remove the miscreant. Check and Checkmate.

#3 Hope this "mole" stays in place undermining the traitorous left that has been so prominent of late.

#4 Sheriff David (NOT 'Dave') is socially quite liberal about a lot of things (except gun control and 'no-restriction/no-consequence welfare') and he'll tell you that.

He is a serious bad-*ss when it comes to law and order, though.
