  1. If he won’t do his job, fire him. He cannot choose not to follow a governor’s mandate.

    1. God Save My Life stop pushing your religion on others. It shows that you are unable to understand that other people have different views then you. Much like a toddler or a trump cult member.

  2. “We aren’t curing people for speeding.”

    Literally 20 seconds later: “We are citing people now.”

    This guy literally just made two diametrically opposed statements in under one minute.

    Either the sheriff’s department changed the citation policy in those twenty seconds, or he is lying.

    The people of this county need to think hard about whether they want such a person to be enforcing the law.

    1. a lot of people in Ohio say it that way, generally, it is people who have roots tied from the Appalachian foothills and or West Virginia. I’m not defending anything else he said but it is frequently pronounced that way. When I first moved to Ohio, I couldn’t understand it

    1. @Randy Rodriguez Governors have both emergency and executive powers. If the Governor invokes either one it becomes State law – period. Take a civics class, halfwit.

    1. Slacked jawed lol. Predator. Can’t say the rest of the phrase do to too many babies nowadays. But I hear ya. Lol

    1. exactly! Yo cant be butt naked in public and will be jail if they do that but wearing a mask for the protection of your life and public is infringes on your right? What a load of bs.

  3. “Ohio sheriff says he’s a MORON.”

    ’nuff said

    Cuz it IS your job to enforce the law…stupid.

    So living and not dying is not important to “regular” Americans?

    1. America is about freedoms and the sheriff is an elected official that is not going to infringe on those.
      Anyone who is scared are more than free to hide in their home and never leave.

    2. @Low IQ Leftist – it’s not about scared bro, it’s about facts. If you don’t feel like putting a mask on to save other people’s lives, then you’re the one that should stay at home. Because your rights are only constitutional if they don’t infringe upon mine. You do not have the right to put other people’s lives or health at-risk just because you don’t want to wear an $0.80 mask.

      So much for America first! All these so-called Patriots can’t even be bothered to put a mask on their face to save their fellow man. Special place in hell for people like that.

    3. Mike DeWine said to have the health department enforce it. He doesn’t expect people to call the police on each other. If the sheriff says he isn’t going to enforce and to call the health department, what is the problem with that? He said he has no issues with masks and wears one himself but it should be up to the individual. I mean you people are crazy. I live in butler county. You guys don’t know what goes on here so your opinion is useless. 90% of butler county residents support our sheriff.

    1. According to Judy…(helping out the prosecution) this Sheriff’s office had people with Covid-19 and closed for awhile….he is confused…forsure….

  4. BRIANNA KEILAR, I LOVE YOU!
    YOU ARE ONE OF THE SMARTEST WOMEN ON TELEVISION.
    I ADMIRE YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND YOUR GUTS.
    YOU GO GIRL!

    1. I had to give her extra points for keeping a straight face during most of that, whatever that was! lol!

    2. @Dicky Jones You sound like you’re kind of a hater little dicky lol
      Waaaiiiittt, do you have a crush on Brianna tiny dicky??? Hahahahahaha

    1. @Dicky Jones the area to which this Cowboy wanna be Sheriff, who is violating his oath of office….has a big Covid-19 cluster….understand?

    2. @Dicky Jones
      Butler County actually is a hot spot of Corona virus cases. Please tell me how that was stupid. Oh don’t bother, anyone with a brain knows it was a brilliant comeback.
      One more thing, Brianna graduated Phi Beta Kappa (often described as the most prestigious honor society) in 3 years with dual degrees in Mass Communications and Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and has been a national TV reporter since 2006. What was it that have you done? At best I’m guessing it was call yourself “Dicky”.

    3. @Dicky Jones They will have to go miles and miles to pass Trump on the “Stupid-O-Meter”, Bud. Days and days….

    4. @Victoria Grayson, how did the Russia Conspiracy Hoax work out for you? Not too good and neither will this.

    5. @Dicky Jones You want to see stupid turn on the FOX flying circus. It’s always good for a belly laugh.

  5. This is easy, the Mayor has a good reason to terminate his employment he’s not adhering to the order placed by the Mayor. This man is a idiot 🤦🏽‍♀️

    1. Thousands of doctors are using HCQ and zinc/Azithromycin to CURE covid in its early stages, not when people are at deaths door tho, then its too late, like the “experts” say to wait til hospitslized to use it. F them I’m taking it at first sign of virus. Expand your info horizon, there’s a whole other side to the story. FDA, CDC, fake Fauci have all flipped and flopped their so called expert opinions a whole bunch of times. Most recent CDC opinion, don’t need to wear masks, just this week. OH, you lame stream media didn’t tell you? What a shame. The “experts” used to say the earth revolved around the sun.

  7. This guy sounds like he suffers from Selective Confusion. He’s either catering to a party of one, or lazy as hell! Do your part son!

  8. Sheriff: “It’s not my job to keep the citizens in my county safe”. Enough said, we know where you stand.

    1. What if a black person doesn’t want wear a mask? Are you seriously going to fine this person? That’s racist!

    2. To be fair, the governor put the health department in charge of mask enforcement. That sheriff is still an idiot.

    3. Exactly he should be fired if he isn’t going to do his job smdh !!! He know damn well if Trump said mandatory mask wearing he would follow it , but not if it’s the governor mandate wearing them he’s a fool just like his cult leader Chump (not a typo) !!!

    1. Not if it’s a unconstitutional order. Good luck conforming to the communist ways you are asking for…

    2. @Scott Russ
      Prove that it’s an unconstitutional order. I can hardly wait to hear this explanation.

  9. Sheriff: you were doing 35 in a 30 zone.

    Driver: sir, I don’t know you so I can’t accept that as a fact. All this advice going around, is it 30 here? 40? It seems to change all the time. If the deputy stopped me, I may or may not listen to him…
