The letters obtained by the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, show people’s concern over the tone of the Facebook post by Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski

At least 59 Ohio residents have complained to the state’s attorney general over posts made by an Ohio sheriff suggesting that people should keep track of homeowners who have signs supporting Democrat Kamala Harris for president.

Bruce Zuchowski, the sheriff for Portage County just southeast of Cleveland, posted the suggestion to his social media account on Sept. 13, when he talked about Harris’ campaign and border policies.

Some people said they were angry, accusing Zuchowski of voter intimidation and racism. Others, including people who live in Portage County, said the sheriff’s post made them afraid.

    He has since doubled-down on that bullshit by stating:

    With elections, there are consequences. That being said…I believe that those who vote for individuals with liberal policies have to accept responsibility for their actions!

    In other words, he knows that he’s instigating riots and genocide, and he’s not going to apologize for it.

      Responsibility for actions? Coming from Republicans?! Headed by the biggest baby no responsibility taking motherfucker Trump. Thousands of covid dead and he says, “it is what it is.” It’s times like this you can pop on some Bob Marley and be comforted by his words. Fuck you sheriff!

        Nah, see, it’s just typical victim blaming. He’s pretty much doing the whole “why do you make me hurt you” gaslighting bullshit you get from all abusers.
