The sheriffs who cheered Trump's attack on the press have long histories of shady dealings, revealed by the press
Last week, Trump invited a collection to sheriffs to the White House for a rousing speech about the evils of the free press, exactly the kind of thing the leader of a democracy does all the time, and the sheriffs gave him a standing ovation, because that's exactly the kind of thing you'd want fairminded law-enforcement agents to do in a democracy.
Why were these sheriffs so delighted to hear the press condemned by Cheeto Hitler?
Perhaps it has something to do with how many of them presided over ghastly scandals that were revealed by their own local press outlets, like Morgan county, Alabama Sheriff Ana Franklin (stole $150K from inmate meal fund to fund a used car lot owned by a convicted fraudster); Bristol county, Massachusetts Sheriff Thomas Hodgson (angered at the investigation of suicides in his cells, his daughter charged with witness intimidation after she threatened to have a cop fired if he detained her after a mass-shooting); Culpeper county, Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins ("chaos, bullying and turnover problems" in his office, flew first class at taxpayer's expense, accused of suppressing evidence that led to a wrongful conviction and 12 years in prison).
