“Black Lives Matter? They don’t care about black lives,” the Milwaukee Country Sheriff stated. “They don’t care about anybody’s life. They only care about political power… I am not shocked.”
“I’ve unmasked these people several years ago,” he continued. “I told you this was a political construct and it had nothing to do with black lives. This was an organized effort for the 2016 election to mobilize black votes.”
