MAGA Sheriff’s Post About Harris Yard Signs Gets Department Booted From Election Duties

Bruce Zuchowski, a Trump-supporting Republican, likened migrants to “human locusts” and called the vice president a “Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena.”

The sheriff’s department in Portage County, Ohio has been stripped of its election security duties after its MAGA sheriff said people displaying Kamala Harris signs in their yards should have their addresses recorded so illegal immigrants can be sent to their homes.

Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski, a Donald Trump-supporting Republican seeking re-election, likened migrants to “human locusts” and called Harris a “Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena” on his personal and campaign Facebook accounts earlier this month.

The Ohio Secretary of State’s Office determined last week that Zuchowksi’s post didn’t break state election laws, but local citizens expressed their discomfort with having an immigrant-hating MAGA sheriff in charge of protecting the vote.

Over 100 people attended an emergency meeting called by the local NAACP chapter, the *Ravenna Record-Courier *reported. Frank Hairson, the communications chair of the NAACP chapter said people told him: “They’re afraid to vote. They’re afraid to put signs in their yard.”

      Nice. Not sure what to make of his opponent based on the website. No major red flags come up, but I’m sure the people in Portage County probably know him and where he stands on things way better than I do.

      OTOH, the website is largely boring and factual, so I’m assuming he may not be that bad? The MAGAts are usually running from similar scripts, and this doesn’t seem to fit that.

        Is it normal to know anything at all about your local Sheriff?

        I had to do three google searches and then scroll down for a while to even find my local one, then their bio was so dull when I looked it up it was difficult to pay attention to it.

          The only thing I know about my local sheriffs is that regardless of politics they are probably trash. Fucken San Bernardino.

        He’s a Democrat and he hasn’t made national news for his despicably racist remarks about immigrants. Outside of that, who really cares what the county sheriff’s platform is? If I lived there, I’d vote for him.
