An Ohio sheriff’s patrol commander has apologized for posting on Facebook that he wouldn't help Democrats and would require proof of who a person voted for before providing aid.

Lt. John Rodgers, a 20-year sheriff’s veteran in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, made the statements in several posts on Facebook, WHIO-TV reported. In one post, he reportedly wrote: “I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you.” Another said: “The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days.”

The sheriff’s office said Rodgers, who has commanded the department’s road patrol, would remain on duty, with a written reprimand for violating the department’s social media policy.

    This is the equivalent of “oh it was a joke, stop being sensitive.”

    Shitty people saying shitty things and getting away with it. 2024s theme.
