Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke announced on Wednesday he had accepted a position as assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. The announcement cast new light on Clarke's controversial past and colorful Twitter history.
For starters, in 2015 Clarke compared former President Obama to Hitler and called on people to "wake up!"

In March, Clarke shared a story about the murder of a DNC staffer, and wondered if he was "killed because he knew too much" — a popular conspiracy theory that has been discredited.

One of Clarke's frequent targets is the Black Lives Matter movement, which he often refers to as "Black Lies Matter." Clarke has called the group "schophants" (sic) and "sub-human creeps" that "will join forces with ISIS."
