Milwaukee Sheriff David Clark joined Megyn Kelly, Thursday night to discuss a new Fox poll that shows that 62% of voters believe race relations have gotten worse since Barack Obama became president.
Kelly asked the the clear-eyed, straight talking sheriff, “are they right?”
“Of course they’re right,” Clark answered without hesitation. “He built that…..remember that statement, ‘you didn’t build that’? Well, he built this racial divide, it was a wound that had been healing for a number of years – number of decades – and he reopened it with his divisive politics.”
He continued, “Obama has benefited from the divide and conquer strategy – it secured two successive electoral victories for the White House but it’s been very destructive for America.” He went on to ask a devastating question, “Who would have thought that after the election of first black president in the history of United States, that we would need a period of reconstruction to try to put this country back together?”
Clark claimed that instead of taking a neutral tone, Obama has habitually fanned the flames.
Megyn gave Clark an opportunity to give Obama a bit of a pass and put most of the blame on people with whom he surrounds himself, but Clark was having none of it.
“It’s a cabal of people,” he acknowledged. “But he’s at the top. When the president speaks, people listen and he has to choose his words carefully.”
Megyn, playing devils advocate, noted that Obama often acknowledges the sacrifices made by police.
Clark countered by saying that Obama likes to “throw a few bones out there” for law enforcement with “a wink and a nod” to the racial agitators. “People know what he’s doing,” the Sheriff declared.
I have enjoyed Sheriff Clark’s viewpoint on various subjects. I think he is right about where the country needs to go after BHO and friends.
