I get the lure of sudden national attention given to him, but he did not gain that national attention from Republicans by acting like just another democrat. Surely with the somewhat unearned reputation of Republicans, the prospect of seeing a Black LEO saying republican-ish things is a desirable thing for the party. Where are his loyalties now? Well, what has he said that's different now than before 2014. People leave parties when they no longer represent their beliefs. Maybe Clark thinks the Democrats have embraced too much of the progressive social justice platform.
This sounds reasonable and thanks for the thoughtful reply. I see some of the other's who have backed this new Republican platform and it honestly makes me pause and take a closer look at some of the issues I've supported. I like the Sheriff and really hope he's on the straight and narrow as it relates to gun rights. We may disagree in other areas, but that's certainly okay.
