Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. — who traveled the country campaigning for Donald Trump — met Monday afternoon with the president-elect at Trump Tower about a possible job in the new administration.

Accompanied by his wife Julie, Clarke left the meeting around 4:15 p.m. (Central time), waved at supporters in the hotel lobby but took no questions from the media.

Clarke, dressed in a black suit, red tie and white Stetson for the interview, has been mentioned widely as a potential Trump appointee to head the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, though insiders say he might be open to a policy position in the White House on security matters. The sheriff runs as a Democrat but is a hard-right conservative.


"The sheriff has nothing to say," Clarke spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin said Friday of his chat with Trump. But on Sunday, an unsigned post on the Facebook page for the Milwaukee County sheriff's office complained that a story on Clarke's interview wasn't getting more attention.

"Funny, Dan Bice's gossip column gets front page when it's about the sheriff," the post said. "The MJS buried this story in the middle of the paper. Meeting with the President-elect doesn't warrant front page placement?"

David A. Clarke Jr. — Milwaukee County’s law-and-order sheriff — lit up social media over the weekend by saying it’s “pitchforks and torches time.”

On Saturday, Clarke, who criticized Black Lives Matter as “an anarchist movement,” posted the tweet calling for popular revolt along with a picture of angry professionals wielding clubs and torches.

“It's incredible that our institutions of gov, WH, Congress, DOJ, and big media are corrupt & all we do is bitch,” Clarke wrote. “Pitchforks and torches time.”


It was one in a string of fiery tweets by Clarke, a surrogate for GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. ................................

Black, red, and white. Now where have I seen that before?

Or am I reading too much into this?
