Trump's DEA Nominee Chad Chronister Criticized for Arresting Pastor During Covid Lockdown
Dec 1, 2024, 04:33 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 lockdown, where he arrested Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne for holding church services in violation of public health orders. Critics, including figures like Rep. Thomas Massie and Mike Cernovich, argue that this incident disqualifies him from the position, citing concerns over his enforcement of draconian laws without discernment. However, Chronister has also been noted for his support of local marijuana decriminalization policies in Tampa, which could influence his approach to drug policy at the DEA. Despite the backlash, Pastor Howard-Browne has publicly forgiven Chronister, and they remain friends.
