Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke is supporting GOP nominee Donald Trump “for the nation’s survival,” and rides tall in our turbulent times while getting “profound” pushback for, as he says it, “challenging the prevailing liberal or progressive orthodoxy.”

Clarke, who is in his 39th year as an elected sheriff, believes this liberal orthodoxy causes harm to real people, especially in the black community.

Resolute and fearless, Clarke cites failing schools, chronic unemployment, inescapable poverty, crime, violence, gangs and family disintegration that spiral citizens into chronic and debilitating government dependence, where the Democrat Party can best maintain power and control.

His biggest concern in 2016 is that “corruption has infected our government at the highest level and a significant part of the population seems unmoved” by that.

The well-read Clarke believes trust is eroding in government. When Republicans were unable to stop the “weaponization of the IRS” to stifle opposition to President Barack Obama, or react when the Department of Justice fails to prosecute obvious legal violations of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, America is at a dangerous point, Clarke says.

In this 27-minute exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation, Sheriff Clarke speaks about why the liberal mainstream media swarmed him for an Oct. 15 tweet where he wrote it’s “pitchfork and torches time” in America.

In the video, he notes that Sen. Bernie Sanders can call for a “revolution” throughout the summer, or Obama can campaign in 2008 saying “if they bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun,” but the media panics at what this conservative black sheriff says in a tweet.

Clark reminds us that when King George did not listen, the founding fathers launched a revolution that inspired the Declaration of Independence. When America decided it had to get rid of slavery, it was highly disruptive, he says, giving voice to the growing concern today that we are losing self-government and a government responsive to the people.

The mainstream media, he says, has “abandoned their responsibility as the fourth estate under the first amendment and become the propaganda wing of progressive politics and the Democrat Party.” Instead, he encourages citizens to use alternative forms of information and communication, such as Twitter, blogs and new media.

Clarke finds solace from history books, founding principles, and people such as Frederick Douglas. He offers his views and suggestions for ordinary citizens who feel their government is not hearing them.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
