Haskell, Knezovich wrong

Donald Trump continues to prove a poor example for the world. Yet our county law enforcement officials, County Prosecutor Larry Haskell and Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich continue to publicly praise Trump at the recent rally, March 4 at CenterPlace.

They would hold Trump out to the public as an example of all this country claims to be and as an example to your children (the future) to be followed, language and all. Sheriff Knezovich continues to blame whatever he can think of on former President Obama despite the record of accomplishments.

I’d say, “Sheriff, your prejudice is showing.” And County Prosecutor Haskell is not far behind with his support for an administration that is and will be judged the worst this country has ever seen when it comes to equal and fair law enforcement and prosecution.

These elected officials will have to run for re-election. That will be cleanup time. We can and will do better.
