For the record, I love Sheriff David Clarke. I believe he exemplified the type of toughness we need in sheriffs’ offices across the country. He was even the guy I wanted to lead the Department of Homeland Security. With that said, his attacks on “fake news” media today were wrong.
First the backstory:
FBI Investigated Sheriff Clarke Over Plane Altercation
The FBI investigated former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke over a January incident with a passenger on a plane, according to a recently unsealed search warrant first spotted by the Detroit News. Clarke, a vocal Trump surrogate, had a minor disagreement with fellow passenger Dan Black on a Milwaukee-bound plane. Clarke texted one of his officers, asking him to detain Black when the plane landed. “Just a field interview, no arrest unless he becomes an asshole with your guys,” Clarke texted, according to the FBI affidavit. Six officers and two police dogs met Black at the plane’s exit, Black wrote in an official complaint. The affidavit also reveals that Clarke emailed subordinates asking them to post “memes and messages” including one calling Black a “snowflake” on the official Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Facebook page.
I scoured every news site I could find to make sure there were no unfair stories that spun the facts to make it seem like Clarke was still under FBI investigation or that he was found guilty of any crimes. There were a few far-left blogs like Slate and Raw Story that put a spin on it, but everything those publications publish are spun. If President Trump saved a kitten from a burning house, they’d spin it as him contributing to the pet overpopulation problem.
If there’s a story from a widely-read, respected publication that “smeared” Clarke, I couldn’t find it.
Now, let’s look at Clarke’s responses:
LYING LIB MEDIA can’t beat me with a coherent counter argument so they resort to what liberals do when they have no logical narrative. They try to silence me by creating FAKE NEWS from LIES to smear me like they did yesterday. I don’t back down, I punch back. Bring it scum bags pic.twitter.com/rpyHCb0659

LYING Lib media spreads FAKE NEWS about me and @realDonaldTrump to fool their liberal followers into believing LIES because as Mrs. Bill Clinton once said,
“Look, the average DEMOCRAT VOTER is just plain STUPID. They’re easy to manipulate.”

Is mainstream media corrupt? Yes. Do they spin everything they can towards liberalism? Yes. Are they the public relations division of the Democratic Party? Yes. Do they go after conservatives when it’s not warranted? Yes.
Last question: Is what they did to Sheriff Clarke an example of any of these problems with mainstream media? No.
They reported the facts. These weren’t smears. Clarke is throwing a fit over something that he should have laughed off the moment it broke. Instead, he reacted much like another man in power when “hit” by the media.
Stop crying “wolf”
Conservatives have a hard enough time fighting off fake news and liberal bias when our complaints are righteous. What Clarke has done is tap into the our battle against mainstream media’s false narratives by creating a false narrative of his own. Our only ally against mainstream media and their liberal puppet masters is the truth. We can’t afford representatives of the conservative movement like Clarke betraying the truth for the sake of promoting his latest book and merchandise.

Former Sheriff David Clarke: Make the media ‘taste their own blood’
On Friday, multiple news organizations published reports on a FBI search warrant from March, related to an intimidation lawsuit, to look into the ex-sheriff’s personal email after the court filing was made public this week. These outlets, including the Washington Examiner, noted that the FBI probe closed in May.
Still, Clarke said reports of him being under FBI investigation are “fake news” being used as a tactic to silence him.
