Washington Post tackles David Clarke’s Stolen Valor

I guess the question about Sheriff David Clarke’s uniform and the Slate article which ignited the discussion was too good for the Washington Post to ignore. Despite the fact that the Left’s own fact checkers at Snopes admitted that it was a tempest in a teapot. The Post determined that it was worth their time and money to identify every little pin on the Sheriff’s uniform in an article entitled “Here’s what the pins that Sheriff Clarke wears actually mean“. Their conclusion should have been that they have too much time on their hands.

So here are the 22 things on Clarke’s uniform when he spoke at the convention in July, and, where possible, what the items represent. You’ll notice that, for Clarke, the pins are a mix of résumé and politics, precisely as he indicated.

So they list each and every piece of flair and they don’t find a single incident of something that was “stolen” or anything that denotes “valor”. I’ll agree that it’s just too much, but, for Pete’s sake, there’s nothing really wrong with the Sheriff’s uniform.

Many Democrats are using it to indicate some sort of deceit so they can demean the Sheriff, you know, because he’s black and strayed from the plantation as a Trump supporter – the same way that they created a myth that Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon, is an idiot.

For example, one of the 1600 comments on the Post article;

Jesus protect us. THIS MENTAL MIDGET is commissioned to carry a BADGE and a GUN? Perhaps the most frightening image since Charles Manson! I’ve seen him on Hannity, who does the knee pad act on him.

Speaking of mental midgets….
