Trump's DEA Nominee Chad Chronister Criticized for Pastor Arrest, DEI Policies
Dec 1, 2024, 10:00 PM
President Donald Trump has nominated Chad Chronister, the Sheriff of Hillsborough County, Florida, to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Chronister's nomination has sparked controversy due to his past actions during the Covid-19 lockdowns, where he arrested Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne for holding church services in violation of public health orders. Critics, including prominent figures like Rep. Thomas Massie and Mike Cernovich, argue that Chronister's decision to enforce lockdown measures by arresting a pastor for religious gatherings is disqualifying for a role that oversees law enforcement at the federal level. Additionally, Chronister's support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, his stance on immigration enforcement, and his handling of the 2020 riots have drawn criticism, with some labeling him as 'woke' and questioning his suitability for the DEA leadership position. There are calls for Trump to reconsider this nomination, highlighting concerns over Chronister's judgment and alignment with conservative values.
