Ohio residents have lodged complaints to state Attorney General Dave Yost over Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski's Facebook post about Kamala Harris signs.

The letters obtained by the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, show people’s concern over the tone of the Facebook post by Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski

At least 59 Ohio residents have complained to the state’s attorney general over posts made by an Ohio sheriff suggesting that people should keep track of homeowners who have signs supporting Democrat Kamala Harris for president.

Bruce Zuchowski, the sheriff for Portage County just southeast of Cleveland, posted the suggestion to his social media account on Sept. 13, when he talked about Harris’ campaign and border policies.

…

Some people said they were angry, accusing Zuchowski of voter intimidation and racism. Others, including people who live in Portage County, said the sheriff’s post made them afraid.

      Guy, fellow Canadian here. When the Confederacy fell apart they all ran away to us. And we fucking took them, ffs. Jefferson Davis lived out his treacherous life in Toronto. There are redneck, Confederate flag waving racists throughout the Canadian borders. I’ve even seen pro Trump flags up here in Canada. We’ve been infected by these fucks for a long time

        That was the original sin that destroyed America.

        We should have treated them like Germany, they even hung many of the surviving nazis after the war.

        Instead we kept them out of power for a decade than turned our backs and let them slime right back in.

          Nah, it was just a show in Germany, even at Nuremberg only like 10 Nazi were executed. Most Nazis were just absorbed back into their society but the Germans just passed specific laws to prevent the display of Nazi flags. That is really the biggest difference. The Germans even let former Nazis back into the government.

        Can confirm. I’ve seen Trump and even fucking Confederate flags on people’s houses. Always in the shittiest parts of town too. Imagine supporting a bunch of traitor losers from a country you’re not even from, who you share no heritage with.

          I remember going south Ontario somewhere for my wife’s sister’s wedding. It was an American Southern plantation style house and property, complete with servant quarters, stables, etc. built soon after the end of the civil war. I looked it up while I was there, and sure enough that’s where I learned that many of the American traitors were allowed amnesty in Canada, which is a disgrace.

          Just being in that property during that wedding made me sick
