Trump's DEA Pick Withdraws From Consideration Following Backlash

This never made any sense, as to why Trump picked him!


On Tuesday, Hillsborough County Sheriff, Chad Chronister, stepped down just three days after being nominated.

Soon after his nomination, Chronister's record as Hillsborough County sheriff came under scrutiny.

On March 30th, 2020, Chronister ordered the arrest of Ronald Howard-Browne, the pastor of The River at Tampa Bay Church, for allegedly flouting COVID-19 lockdown orders by holding services at his church.

"Howard-Browne intentionally and repeatedly disregarded state and local public health orders, which put his congregation and our community in danger," Chronister posted on X at the time.

Howard-Browne was charged with unlawful assembly and violation of public health emergency rules. Both charges were later dropped.

"The State Attorney's Office has recognized that compliance and not criminal punishment is the focus of our emergency health laws," Chronister said after Howard-Browne arrest.

"Law enforcement's intervention through arrest has been rare during this health crisis, and while it remains a necessary tool to protect the health and safety of our community, we agree that further criminal sanctions are not necessary in this instance."

Many Republicans slammed Chronister's nomination, including Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas).

"I'm going to call 'em like I see 'em. Trump's nominee for head of DEA should be disqualified for ordering the arrest [of] a pastor who defied COVID lockdowns," Massie wrote on X.

"We don't need authoritarians who refuse to use discretion and protect the Constitution — no matter which party is in power,"

I see some long term picks and a lot of short term appointees coming up.
The left will claim he has a high turnover rate, but in truth, a lot of these people won't be needed all that long once the job is done, the position can be eliminated, something never seen before in govt.
Can you imagine the amount of heads exploding as he eliminates complete swathes of Govt?
