Hanging Chad — Conservatives Go After Trump's DEA Appointment
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Let's talk about this Sheriff Chad.
Trump has nominated Chad Chronister to lead the DEA. He's the Florida Sheriff that arrested Pastor Rodney Howard Brown in 2020 for keeping his church open.
And he has now made, you know, is now forgiven.
And here, let me pull up this.
Here's Rodney.
There he is.
I'll get a bigger picture of it.
That's Pastor Rodney Howard Brown in the center.
I think it's his wife there.
And then that's the sheriff there.
Well, look, you know, I understand that a Christian is going to forgive somebody for doing the wrong thing.
The question is, has the sheriff really repented?
And the question is, should he be promoted for this kind of stuff?
That's the real issue.
You know, when somebody commits a crime, many times we have people who will, you know, had mass murders.
Son of Sam, Berkovic or something like that.
Anyway, he's not ever going to get out of prison, and he's a lifetime in prison.
He's become a Christian.
He's very sorry for it, but you're not going to let this guy out, right?
And you had...
Ted Bundy, who was executed because of the state where he committed his serial killers, he also claimed that he was sorry, had a repentance, and had a conversion to being a Christian.
God can sort that out, but there's penalties with this.
And of course, we even see this in God's treatment, for example, of King David, who committed adultery and then committed murder to cover up the adultery.
Now, God forgave him of his sins, and we can hope that these two mass murders have been forgiven as well.
But God still had lifetime penalty for King David.
He still had, and his sword never departed from his family.
And so he was always, you know, political intrigue and war within his family.
People jostling for the throne.
So there are consequences for To our sins, even though God can forgive us.
But there's no consequences for this guy.
It's Sheriff Chad.
And as a matter of fact, he put up a poster bragging about what he was doing.
Announcing the arrest of Dr. Ronald Howard Brown, pastor of the river at Tampa Bay Church, who intentionally and repeatedly disregarded state and local public health orders.
Which put his congregation and our community in danger.
That's this guy that Trump has just appointed.
Because you see, folks, this was never about the bad Democrat governors, as the MAGA excuse makers have always been saying.
Trump was on board with this.
Trump paid people to do this kind of stuff.
He's now promoting people who did this kind of stuff.
Trump owns this fully.
Owns it fully.
He's bragged about his vaccine.
He's promoted the lockdown tyrants like this guy.
He has the audacity to push that.
Should he be promoted?
Should he even be sheriff anymore?
Again, this is one of these deals.
That's why I started with this thing about this sheriff who calls all of his deputies to harass the people at Burger King.
Because he got mayonnaise on his hamburger that he didn't want on there.
And yet the people still re-elected him.
Maybe the people still re-elected this guy.
And Trump is promoting him.
So he was one of the worst of these lockdown tyrants.
As a matter of fact, I've never seen this before.
This is now circulating around on social media.
The fact that Sheriff Chad.
Sheriff Chad.
I just call him Chad.
Chronister.
Chad Chronister.
Was lecturing people about social distancing in their boats.
I'm Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister.
While we want everyone to limit their public movement during the COVID-19 health crisis, outdoor recreation is still possible, even on our beautiful waterways.
If you decide to go boating, remember you must also remain socially distanced from other boaters.
Make sure that you keep 50 feet between you and other vessels on the water.
Also, be sure that you are following the CDC's guidelines for social distancing.
If you have any questions or concerns while on the water, our Marine Unit deputies will be there to assist you.
Our Marine Unit deputies.
Visit HillsboroughCounty.org.
They're going to be there to assist you.
Ha!
Hi, I'm from the government.
I'm here to help you.
I got a fine, prison, whatever, you know.
You didn't stay 50 feet apart from other people.
Where's he come up with this?
He's just making it up, of course, just like they made up the six-foot rule.
That's why I said on Twitter, he's the perfect man for the DEA. He really is.
Because he's already demonstrated his zero respect for the Constitution, his zero respect for the Bill of Rights, his zero respect for the rule of law, and he has shown that he is, no matter how stupid these orders, or how illegal they are, he will enforce them.
That's how mind-numbingly stupid he is.
So, social distancing with the boats.
Keep them 50 feet apart.
And then he also talked about the vaccine.
Big pusher of the vaccine.
And we all know how proud Trump is of his vaccine.
In the Bay Area, we've lost law enforcement members because of COVID, something that Sheriff Chronister is very aware of.
I've put out a policy a few weeks ago that if you're unvaccinated and you have to quarantine or you get ill, you have to use your own approvals.
If you're vaccinated and for some reason you fall ill, the Sheriff's Office is going to cover your time off.
This has to be for our 4,000 employees to keep them healthy, but absolutely the public.
We have daily interactions with the community that we serve.
Just stay home.
Just stay home.
I'd like to see the sheriff's deputies work from home.
They can harass their family or something, right?
We've got daily interactions with people.
We've got to pull them over because of a minor traffic violation or something.
Well, with all the stuff and with the arresting of the pastor there, Thomas Massey said, I'm going to call him like I see him.
Trump's nominee for head of the DEA should be disqualified for ordering the arrest of a pastor who defied the lockdowns.
And, yeah, the lockdowns.
I think somebody crossed out the COVID lockdowns because, folks, it was a lie.
It was a lie from Trump.
And he pushed it.
Now, this is somebody who is...
Spencer Rogers put this up.
He says, I'm from Tampa Bay, and I followed Chad Chronister's career.
And people are asking me why he is a bad pick to be head of the DEA. He said, conservatives here do not support Chronister.
Chronister is a woke and weak Democrat plant.
And will backstab President Trump.
He cannot be trusted.
And here are some of the reasons.
His office promotes transgendering teens by participating in the Tampa Pride event.
And creating a liaison office for transgenders and other Pride affiliates.
Here he is talking about that.
In the month of June, we celebrate Pride Month.
Hello, I'm Sheriff Chad Chronister, and this month we're celebrating equality, dignity, and self-affirmation no matter how we identify.
At the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, we are proud to focus on the wonderful members of our law enforcement family that bring their many talents, skills, and varying viewpoints that help us serve, protect, and understand everyone who lives in Tampa Bay.
We welcome diverse backgrounds.
Respect all people.
Oh, there he is.
Handing out rainbow-colored necklaces.
And there's a sheriff deputy.
Everyone, a wonderful month of pride celebrations.
Okay, so he's going to lock down churches and pastors and threaten people with that.
But he wants you to show up for those pride parades.
But why is it, you know, conservatives don't like that.
The question is, why is it that conservatives have a problem when Chad Chronister does that, but they don't have a problem when Donald Trump does that?
Because Donald Trump has elevated that over and over again, and so has Melania.
She's been given awards.
They've had events at Mar-a-Lago.
Why is it that the conservatives have a problem when anybody else goes to Davos?
But not when Trump does.
Why is it that they have a problem when somebody else promotes LGBT Pride Month, but not when Donald Trump does, or Melania?
You see, this is the situational ethics.
And I talked about this when we talked about Israel.
I said, look, if you're going to make an exception because you like the politician, you look at it and you say, well, you have so many people who say, oh, this Ukraine war, that's really bad.
Look at all the people that are dying.
But Israel, that's fine.
That's okay when Israel does it.
Or look at anything.
That they excuse everything if it's done by Trump, if it's done by Netanyahu.
If you do that, you're talking about situational ethics.
Because you're making the person or the party, your principles don't apply to them.
Which means you don't have principles.
If your principles only apply to certain people, they're not principles.
They're something else.
He says, Chronister expanded his office's DEI program and has been a major proponent of anti-white male discrimination by removing merit as a primary role of advancement, turning to race and gender-based hiring and promotion policies.
So we can expect to see that at the We can see DEI at the DEA. How about that?
Maybe we can make them doubly ineffective.
Not only are they out on a fool's errand to try to stop people from using drugs by using military force, but they're going to add the DEI stuff to it as well.
Not only that, but his son was found guilty and sent to jail for stabbing somebody in the face, and yet he is a big fool.
Gun control advocate as well.
When he arrested Pastor Howard Rodney Brown, he turned him over to be prosecuted by a Soros-appointed prosecutor.
You see, I'm from Tampa, and I know that it's gone even further to the left than it did in terms of state and in terms of city government when I was there.
And now, the people that are there, the mayor...
Is an open lesbian, socialist, communist.
I mean, it's pretty bad.
And so many others.
And he's a part of that crowd.
Why would Trump pick him?
Well, because Trump is a New York Democrat himself.
In March of 2020...
Chad arrested a local pastor who kept his church out.
By the way, yeah, this is another point.
Howard Rodney Brown spent $100,000 in improvements so that they could work around this fake pandemic.
And stay open.
He spent $100,000 to upgrade his church's air infiltration system.
He made his church safe for those who wished to attend services.
Nevertheless, Chronister arrested him and held a press conference touting the arrest, threatening other people.
You better not think that your religious values trump my orders, okay?
He's a big Democrat donor.
He gave money to Democrats.
He gave money to Barack Obama.
He gave money to Mayor Jane Castor, she's the one I was talking about, to congressional woman Kathy Castor, same family.
He supported Charlie Crist, and he gave money to the DNC as well.
So why is Trump, again, Trump is a New York Democrat himself.
Chronister is weak in crime.
He released a criminal with 35 priors who then went out shortly after his release and murdered somebody.
He was weak during the BLM riots.
Remember, those happened in the summer.
So just a couple months after he arrested the pastor and threatens other pastors, he does nothing with BLM riots.
Riots!
Riots.
It's all about public safety, is it?
Yeah, what about when they light buildings on fire?
That's not a problem.
He had his deputy stand down as rioters destroyed property, including a gate at the county jail.
His office was generally slow to respond during the BLM riots when other sheriff's offices around the state were out in full force.
Yeah, that's the kind of guy that Trump wants to run the DEA. Many people are calling him the COVIDian Sheriff.
Conservatives, some, are slamming Trump's DEA pick, but they won't criticize Trump.
Have you noticed that?
They won't criticize him.
But like I said, he's perfect for the DEA. No respect for the rule of law, the Constitution, and he's willing to do whatever he's told, no matter how mind-numbingly stupid the order is, or criminal.
Now, Tim Pool...
Said he should serve prison time.
Wait a minute, Tim.
Wasn't it you and Laura Loomer who were just saying, I'm so tired of hearing people talk about Trump's vaccine?
That was so four years ago.
Let's talk about the election four years ago.
Right?
Laura Loomer said, well, if you took the vaccine, that's on you.
I didn't take it.
I knew better than to listen to Trump.
She didn't say better than to listen to Trump.
But that's what's implied.
Tim Pool now says, let's revisit this after he serves prison time for conspiracy against rights for arresting a pastor during COVID lockdown.
Tim, your man that you have built your career on is the one who paid people like him to do that kind of stuff.
...of biased and false news has become all too common on social media.
More alarmingly some media outlets are policy.
Policy is saying that we are true without checking facts first.
Unfortunately, some members in Virginia use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda control.
Exactly what people think.
And this is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
