Pennsylvania Sheriff James Custer said Monday that he’s done with
the Democratic Party because of its “unconstitutional”
lockdowns and “socialist agenda.”
“It’s the shift in ideals of the current Democrat Party at
the national level — the socialist agenda — and this is
something that I had been considering for several months. It
probably started back when the pandemic started,” the Fayette
County sheriff told “Fox & Friends” when asked why he was
abandoning the Democrats for the Republicans.
Custer also pointed to “the [lockdown] mandates coming down by
the Democratic governors and of which we have one here in
Pennsylvania that I feel are unconstitutional.”
“As the sheriff, it is my duty as a constitutional sheriff, to
protect and serve, uphold and defend the Constitution of the United
States and [to oppose] these unconstitutional mandates being
brought down on our citizens and being able to protect their rights
and freedoms under the Constitution,” Custer continued.
When asked if he was also motivated to embrace the Republicans
because of the prevalence of the defund the police movement in the
Democratic Party, Custer said it was “a definite factor” and
after being in law enforcement for 30 years he felt betrayed.
“Hey, this is not what I signed up for,” he said.
The sheriff said he believes he has broad public support for his
decision to reject the Democrats “and that’s why I was one of
40 individual sheriffs here in the state of Pennsylvania to endorse
President [Donald] Trump as our law and order president.”
President-elect Joe Biden has never endorsed the defund the
police supporters within the Democratic Party or congressional
caucus. Biden�recently
said being identified with that platform “beat the living
hell†out of some Democratic candidates in the Nov. 3, 2020
elections.
Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf announced more lockdown
measures Thursday. “Today I am announcing additional, temporary
COVID-19 protective mitigation measures in the commonwealth,â€
Wolf said in a statement.
“With these measures in place, we hope to accomplish three
goals: First, stop the devastating spread of COVID-19 in the
commonwealth. Second, keep our hospitals and health care workers
from becoming overwhelmed. And third, help Pennsylvania get through
the holiday season – and closer to a widely available
vaccine–as safely as possible,†Wolf said.
