Former Wisconsin sheriff David Clarke, an African-American who criticized the Black Lives Matter movement and was previously under consideration for a position with the Trump administration, has joined a super political action committee that backs the president, officials said on Tuesday.
Clarke, 61, will serve as spokesman and senior advisor for America First Action, his office and the political action committee said in two separate statements.
“I will help make sure we elect the candidates who will do what they promise in support of President Trump’s agenda,” Clarke said in a statement from his office.
“Just as important, I will see to it that the will of the American people is not derailed by the left or the self-serving Washington establishment,” he added.
