Does Sheriff Borkovich stand behind Trump’s pardoning of the January 6 rioters?
It was not the “day of love” Trump indicated. It was a sickening attack on democracy and the rule of law. Only once did Trump call for his assembled group to go peacefully to the Capitol, but 19 times called them to fight with damning admonitions like “we fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore” and “we will never give up we will never concede.“ We saw the police being kicked, stomped, beaten with sticks and flag poles. They were tased, crushed in doors and assaulted with bear spray. When sheriff Borkovich was called to task about going to Grand Rapids to stand behind candidate Trump, he said he had an opportunity to “listen and see what they can do to make things better” referring to his critics as “haters “and said “if they want to live in a world of darkness and hate they’re free to do it but it’s not my world.”
