David Clarke Resigns
According to County Clerk George Christenson, via CNN, David resigned from his position as sheriff on Thursday for reasons unknown. He also didn’t provide any comments but did write a statement on his sudden departure.

David Clarke: Trump Supporter
David has been publicly known as a controversial character in the media and is often compared to an Uncle Tom for his loyalty and support of President Trump. Although David ran for sheriff as a Democrat, his views are often conservative and is often seen at media events in a cowboy hat. Milwaukee Magazine pictured David as “Six-foot-four in black cowboy boots and GQ handsome.” The magazine added, “Raised in a white neighborhood, educated in a white high school and married to a white woman, Clarke has also faced claims that he is ‘not black enough.’”
African-Americans are often criticized for their support of Trump, given his controversial and seemingly hateful and exclusive behavior. From travel bans to transgender bans, Trump isn’t favored by any minority group and has been met with even more contempt since his response to the riot in Charlottesville, Virginia.
