Back when he was a regular on Fox News, then-Sheriff David Clarkes main schtick involved vicious attacks on Black Lives Matter and the progressive movement, all of which led to Donald Trump very nearly naming him to a top seat in the Department of Home Security.
Clarke, the onetime sheriff of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin, was denied that spot, for reasonsmainly related to his propensity to spout conspiracy theories and constitutionalist nonsensethat became all too apparent over the weekend, as Clarke (who has over 900,000 followers) took to Twitter to denounce measures to limit the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus as government control (nefariously manipulated by George Soros) and urging readers to take the streets in defiance of it.
Twitter later removed several of the tweets for violating its terms of service, which include a ban on posts urging self-harm.

GO INTO THE STREETS FOLKS. Visit bars, restaurants, shopping malls, CHURCHES and demand that your schools re-open. NOW! If government doesnt stop this foolishness
STAY IN THE STREETS. END GOVERNEMNT CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES. IF NOT NOW, WHEN? THIS IS AN EXPLOITATION OF A CRISIS, Clarke tweeted on Sunday.

(25,960 posts)Sort of the reverse of not yelling fire in a theater? I know the first instinct is to make Darwin award jokes, but in all seriousness, people contributing to public harm in this manner really should be criminally charged. Wait-- that means we'd be arresting Donny Dotard as well... hmm. Nice dream. Too much to hope for, I guess.
