A sheriff in Ohio who made disparaging remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris and immigrants on social media suggested that residents compile a list of addresses where they see yard signs in support of the Democratic presidential nominee, reported NBC News.
In a public Facebook post, Portage County Sheriff Bruce
Zuchowski used anti-immigrant rhetoric and denounced both Harris and her
supporters.
"When people ask me...What’s gonna happen if the Flip —
Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say...write down all the addresses of the
people who had her signs in their yards! Sooo...when the Illegal human ‘Locust’
(which she supports!) Need places to live...We’ll already have the addresses of
the their New families...who supported their arrival!" the post said.
Zuchowski, the sheriff’s office and the Harris campaign did
not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday afternoon.
The post Zuchowski shared also included TV images
mentioning Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio — towns that have become
flashpoints in the immigration debate.
Springfield in particular has been subject to security threats amid baseless claims about Haitian immigrants
living there. former President Donald Trump amplified the claims at Tuesday's
presidential debate, which drew more than 67 million viewers, when he said, “They’re eating the
pets.”
Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, has made
similar remarks on social media, and he doubled down on them in an interview
Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press."
Springfield Mayor Rob Rue has said "a lie" is
tearing apart the city of nearly 59,000 residents. "We'd like that to
stop," he said Saturday.
Springfield is a little less than 200 miles southeast of
Portage County.
Zuchowski's Facebook page includes a photo of him with Vance
and other pictures of him with Trump allies such as former national security
adviser Michael Flynn and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
The photo with Vance is dated July 15. One of the photos with Flynn is dated June 13, and the other is dated March 30 and includes Ramaswamy.
