Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke speaks May 20, 2016 during the National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky. United States President Donald Trump just named Clarke to be Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Partnership and Engagement. Transcript - David Clarke "Folk my ancestors fought hard and shed blood for the right to keep and bear arms for self defense and I am not going to cede that right back to the Federal Government or any level of government for that matter and neither should you. In closing let's talk about the National Rifle Association. Today's society confront us with threats from criminal behavior.

He's the only president in US history to visit a prison and tell killers and rapists and drug dealers that they are the product of a racist criminal justice system. Has this guy lost his mind? (crowd: yeah!) As my public announcements say at the end.
