Sheriff David Clarke Met With Russian Gun Group On Their Dime – Tapped By Trump? (VIDEO)

During the 2016 election, we heard many stories about President-elect Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. Also, the National Rifle Association (NRA) helped Donald Trump “bigly.”

There is more fishiness going on here. The NRA has a relationship with the Right To Bear Arms group in Russia.

In December 2015, the Right To Bear Arms group hosted a delegation from the NRA. It was quite the “who’s who” of gun nuts. One of the people there was Milwaukee County Sheriff and regular on Fox News, David A. Clarke.

The NRA paid part of his expenses for the trip, but the Russian Right to Bear Arms group paid for some as well. You can see in the ethics form Clarke filed (last page) that the group paid for $6000 worth of meals, hotel stays, and transportation.

Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this about the funding he received from the NRA:

“Notably, Clarke received a $40,000 trip to Israel and Russia funded largely by the National Rifle Association, earned $26,000 in speaking fees, locked up $22,500 in car services to shuttle to his various media appearances, took a plane flight valued at $9,000 to speak at an Idaho conference and scored playoff basketball tickets from the Milwaukee Bucks’ GM.”

Clarke could potentially be on President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet as the Secretary of Homeland Security.

He’s amassed quite a following of right-wingers after he came out against the Black Lives Matter movement. This week, he said that the people who are protesting against Donald Trump are “radical anarchists.”

This guy is too extreme to be in such an important position. If he is calling Black Lives Matter activists “anarchists,” what is he going to do with other groups? He fits in with all of the Trumpkins, though.

Here is Clarke’s speech at the Republican National Convention in July where he talked about “Blue Lives Matter:”
