Clinton-Endorsed Sheriff Posted Meme Comparing Her To Hitler: Report

HENNEPIN COUNTY, MN — Dave Hutchinson won the endorsement of Hillary Clinton in 2018 when he was running for Hennepin County sheriff.

Hutchinson ran as a progressive reform candidate. He went on to beat conservative-leaning and longtime sheriff, Richard Stanek.

But Facebook posts uncovered by Fox 9 show that Hutchinson was very critical of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton herself.

In 2015, Hutchinson posted a meme comparing Clinton to Hitler and another meme that read, "Hillary for Prison 2016," according to Fox 9.

Another post that year stated "If you support Hilary (sic) or anyone affiliated with this f------g criminal Obama you need to take your ass outa this country. They have ruined it."

"Anyone but a liberal in 2016," he added.

Hutchinson is not seeking another term in office this fall. In December, Hutchinson drove home drunk from a Minnesota sheriff's holiday party and crashed into a tree.

The single-car crash happened just outside of Alexandria on Interstate 94 on Dec. 8. His blood alcohol content was .13, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Hutchinson lied to a police officer moments after the crash, telling an officer at the scene that he wasn't the one driving the vehicle, video shows.

He was later sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay $610 in various fines and fees.
