Tracklist: 10 “outrageous” Sheriff Clarke tweets (from the past 72 hours)

November 10, 2015


here’s an old Onion article where a just-past-his-prime Marilyn Manson is going door-to-door in a small Kansas City suburb trying to shock people. Draped in sheep entrails, Manson arrives at the home of a mother preparing to drive her daughter to a Girl Scouts meeting. The woman reacts to Manson thusly:

“I tried to be nice and humor him a little. I said, ‘Yesiree, that sure is some shocking satanic imagery, no doubt about it. And that one eye with no color in the pupil, very disturbing. I’d sure like to suppress that.’ I mean, what do you say to Marilyn Manson?”

Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr. is the Onion’s version of Marilyn Manson: desperate to offend, eager to shock, exhausted. Last week, Clarke made news by comparing the Black Lives Matter movement to ISIS, denying the existence of police brutality, and calling African-Americans “lazy” and “morally bankrupt.” Far from shocking, it was just another in a long line of calculated, by-the-books trolls designed to bait Clarke’s enemies and appease his fans—all disguised as an “in-your-face” dose of “truth-telling” that was too “real” for those pussy PC “elites.” Yesiree, those sure were some shocking tweets, no doubt about it.

Anyway, because Clarke spends most of his time concerned with things that truly matter to Milwaukee County—Obama, Quentin Tarantino, the “liberal media”—there’s no shortage of sheep-entrails-esque statements coming from his dog-eared book of far-right-wing Mad Libs. In the interest of saving us all some time, Milwaukee Record signed out of Twitter (Clarke is notorious for blocking the media “elites”) and rounded up 10 “outrageous” Sheriff Clarke tweets—all from the past 72 hours.

1. Black “L-I-E-S” Matter! Are you offended yet?
