Polarizing Sheriff David Clarke Says He’ll Take a Top Homeland Security Job
Of course he will.
He'll fit right in.
Of course he will.
He'll fit right in.
Looks like Sheriff David Clarke’s “army” medals might be B.S.
At almost all of his public appearances, Clarke either wears a pristine cowboy hat with a natty suit or, more famously, a uniform festooned with shiny military medals.
On Thursday, Twitter user Charles Clymer, an army veteran, pointed out that those military medals might not be all that legit.
“Look at this **** guy’s uniform,” Clymer said, in the second of a long string of tweets on the subject.
"You see all that **** pinned all over his dress uniform jacket? That's not supposed to be there."
Clymer went on to break down each individual medal, their placement and their apparently spurious provenance.
Clymer acknowledged that legitimate medals are earned, and should be worn with pride, but accuses Clarke of “stolen valor” and calls Clarke’s collection, “a sloppy assortment of badge replicas arranged neatly, [that] looks imposing.”
