“That’s why some people should never be allowed to vote,” the sheriff wrote Wednesday in response to a commentary video about the Iran war on the social media site.

Democrats have “created an environment where cheating and illegal voting is keeping them in office,” Bianco wrote in another comment.

“Why would they be scared if they aren’t illegal? Illegals shouldn’t be voting!,” he wrote in reply to warnings by voting rights advocates that placing immigration agents near polls would intimidate eligible voters.

“In-person voting with ID. The only votes it ‘suppresses’ are the dead voters, the fake voters, and the illegal voters,” he wrote in one post.

5. Ex-Oathkeeper says "Its time to put a felon in the Whitehouse"

Oversees 5 jails plus he's the coroner.

He reminds me of Greg Bovino that little ICE gestapo terrorist.

Sounds like a total schmuck.
