Liberals don’t like Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, and for good reason. But that doesn’t give them the right to endanger his personal safety.
In May, it was widely reported that Sheriff Clarke would join the Trump administration as an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security. However, over the weekend Clarke withdrew his name from consideration.
The Washington Post broke the news — and they tweeted out Sheriff Clarke’s home address in the process.
Either this was a grotesque oversight, or Washington Post reporter Abby D. Phillips has no journalistic integrity:
For those wondering if Sheriff Clarke ever actually received a job offer, I’ve obtained a copy of the letter from DHS Human Resources pic.twitter.com/RIcZgDfThb

By the way, posting a private home address is a direct violation of Twitter policy – but Phillips’s tweet remains. Naturally, many Twitter users are shocked:
Wow. Are you really that big of a moron to include his address?

Jesus, that actually is a house address. I’m sorry, but why was this not redacted before sharing on Twitter?

Well, @washingtonpost? Will you have aany journalistic integrity and fire this idiot for doxxing someone in a climate of leftist violence?

Out of courtesy you would black out his address but obviously the press would love to see their opposition harmed and/or killed.

Despite Phillips’s abhorrent disregard for Sheriff Clarke’s safety and lack of professional integrity, we don’t doubt that Sheriff Clarke can take care of himself. He had this to say about defending his home in 2014:
“I don’t dial 911. I will afterwards, to say ‘Come get this dead guy out of my house, he’s bleeding out and he’s messing up my carpet.’”
Do you think the Washington Post should fire Abby Phillips for tweeting out Sheriff Clarke’s home address? Share your thoughts below!
