Milwaukee County Sheriff Clarke Unloads On Elitist Billionaire Bloomberg

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, Jr. was the target of a $150,000 ad campaign by anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg as Clarke sought to retain his seat in a recent Democratic primary. After defeating his opponent—and Bloomberg’s money machine—Clarke is expected to roll to reelection in his race to become sheriff, as there is no Republican running against him for the position.

According to one Democratic Party source, Mr. Bloomberg said of his attempt to knock me off in my re-election primary for sheriff, “This one is personal with me.” That is a sign of desperation. Yes, even billionaires can be greedy. Surely, Mr. Bloomberg saw me as an easy win that he could parade around the country as a warning to other pro-gun candidates to either get in line with his anti-gun movement or face defeat at the polls. He saw picking off a big-city, pro-gun sheriff as a prize worth landing.

After Bloomberg's losing campaign to fight the Colorado recall, where he spent 350,000 he loses anothe 150,000 trying to get rid of Sheriff Clarke. We've got a Dem running here in Iowa. Maybe Bloomberg would like to help him out.
