Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Thursday described those protesting Donald Trump's election victory as "anarchists" — telling Newsmax TV that "this is intimidation."
"I called this group for what it was two years ago when it was the Occupy Movement — and then it became Black Lives Matter," Clarke told "The Joe Pags Show" in an interview.
"These are anarchists. They do not support the rule of law.
"We had a lawfully conducted election," he added. "That's what we do in democracies, right? People get to go and cast a vote.
"Somebody's going to win. Somebody's going to lose — but when Barack Obama won in '08 and when Barack Obama won in 2012 I was disappointed, as were a lot of people.
"We didn't take to the streets. We didn't riot.
"We didn't even protest, but this is that anarchist movement that realizes now that their reign of terror is over," Clarke said. "It's our time now — and all this stuff that they've enjoyed over the last eight years is coming to an end.
"This is more frustration than anything else."
