SHE’S “THE POLICE” LIKE ANTHONY FAUCI IS “SCIENCE:” Val Demings Says ‘I Am The Police.’ Florida Sheriffs Say That’s Ridiculous.

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Val Demings says she can’t be criticized on crime because she is “the police.” Sunshine State sheriffs say that’s ridiculous.

As a former Orlando police chief, Demings says she’s inherently immune to attacks from Florida’s law enforcement community: “I don’t just support the police. I am the police,” the Democrat said during an Aug. 17 interview. Roughly a week later, active Florida sheriffs are ridiculing that comment.

Marion County sheriff Billy Woods told the Washington Free Beacon Demings “uses her title as chief to further her political agenda” but “certainly doesn’t use it to back law enforcement when she votes,” a move Woods called “shameful.” Brevard County sheriff Wayne Ivey, meanwhile, said Demings “took an oath to protect and serve, an oath she somehow forgot when she went to Washington and decided to vote with Nancy Pelosi 100 percent of the time.” And for Bradford County sheriff Gordon Smith, Demings has made clear during her “six years in Washington” that she “is no longer the police and didn’t have our backs when it counted most.”

“As a law enforcement officer, I made a promise to my community to protect and serve,” Smith said. “Our representatives in Washington promise to support us in that mission, but Val Demings has failed to live up to that promise.”

Demings did not return a request for comment.

Of course not.
