Sheriff’s Office Lt: If You're A Democrat, 'I Will Not Help You Survive'

A Clark County, Ohio, Sheriff's Office Lieutenant is somehow not fired from his job after he posted that if you are a Democrat, he's not going to help you. Further, John Rodgers, who has worked at the Clark County Sheriff's Office for over 20 years, wrote, "The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party, and I will not help you survive the end of days."

Another post indicated people would need to "provide proof of who you voted for" if they asked Rodgers for help.

News Center 7 reached out to the sheriff's office on Friday and Chief Deputy Mike Young sent a statement about their investigation into the posts.

"It is understood that while these comments are highly inappropriate, they in no means reflect the Clark County Sheriff's Office delivery of service to ALL our community and does not reflect the mission and values of the Sheriff's Office. The community has a right to be upset over the actions of Lt. Rodgers and he, as well as the Sheriff's Office in general, will have to work even harder to replenish the trust of members of our community," the statement read in part.

The statement referenced a possible medical issue involved in Rodgers' actions.
