The letters obtained by the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, show people’s concern over the tone of the Facebook post by Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski
At least 59 Ohio residents have complained to the state’s attorney general over posts made by an Ohio sheriff suggesting that people should keep track of homeowners who have signs supporting Democrat Kamala Harris for president.
Bruce Zuchowski, the sheriff for Portage County just southeast of Cleveland, posted the suggestion to his social media account on Sept. 13, when he talked about Harris’ campaign and border policies.
…
Some people said they were angry, accusing Zuchowski of voter intimidation and racism. Others, including people who live in Portage County, said the sheriff’s post made them afraid.

If he doesn’t personally invade any countries, and calls for gun violence against “the undesirables” instead of gas chambers, does he still escape the Nazi label? I need to know what the line is exactly according to you, because he’s already trying to put political enemies on an intimidation list and time may be short.
Putting People on Political HIT LISTS ISNT Nazi! It’s ONLY Nazi if they PHYSICALLY Gas them!
When did he call for violence? It sounded like he just wanted them to shelter illegals.
No, you’re right, he only said they should be forced to house incoming “locusts.” That’s nothing like a Nazi at all. Thanks for setting us straight.
Awe did I get downvoted? Boohoo.
The word is over used. This man is a racist piece of trash, but not a Nazi. Actual Nazis and White Supremacists exist.
How many times a day do you have to say “I’m not a Nazi.”?
Never. I hold no views anywhere close to that, I just want words to be accurately applied.
I bet you’ve had to say it twice today.
IDK, if you look at their comment history they’re not like that. I don’t think they deserve that. I just disagree with them that this isn’t a call to violence.
I think this sheriff knows his fellow Repubs have plenty of radicals. I think that urging white supremacist radicals to note where their perceived enemies live and calling people “locusts” is a call to violence.
