Disgraced former Milwaukee County sheriff and cowboy cosplay lunatic David "Uncle Ruckus" Clarke, Jr. had some contrarian advice about the COVID-19 pandemic for his fellow MAGA cultists (since deleted by Twitter because they encouraged "self harm"):
Yeah, MAGAts. To hell with the health professionals, the sheriff's telling you to get out there and roll around in the virus! Own the libs! (Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog has a thorough dismantling of the unscientific "foundation" behind Clarke's idiocy.) Others react:GO INTO THE STREETS FOLKS. Visit bars, restaurants, shopping malls, CHURCHES and demand that your schools re-open. NOW!— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) March 15, 2020
If government doesn’t stop this foolishness...STAY IN THE STREETS.
END GOVERNEMNT CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES. IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
THIS IS AN EXPLOITATION OF A CRISIS.

I’m definitely not taking public health advice from the guy who let inmates die of dehydration in his county’s jail!— Dextrosity (@thedextrosity) March 15, 2020

Yosemite f’king Sam here was considered by our current dunderheaded POTUS for a position at DHS. Someone get him the mental-health treatment he desperately needs. But if any media take him seriously again they should be shamed til the end of time— Cliff Schecter (@cliffschecter) March 16, 2020
