Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke is boasting about dropping an f-bomb on a reporter last week after he was asked about his need for a security detail.
Clark resigned from his job as sheriff earlier this month, taking a position with America First Action, a pro-President Trump political action committee.
Asked by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Peter Bice in an email about the loss of his round-the-clock security detail and the expenditures it required, Clarke bluntly replied: “‘F— you and the horse you rode in on.’ I’m David Clarke and I approve this message.”
{mosads}Bice posted the Sept. 13 email exchange on Twitter Wednesday.
Bice had reported last week that Milwaukee County had spent upward of $220,000 in 2017 alone to provide round-the-clock protection for the controversial law enforcement official and ally of Trump.
Clarke had reportedly received a “multiplicity of threats.” He stepped down from his law enforcement role in August.
