John Rodgers, a lieutenant and patrol commander with the Clark County Sheriff's Office in Ohio and a 20-year veteran of the force, posted on Facebook declaring, "I am sorry. If you support the Democratic Party, I will not help you." He suggested he would require proof of a person's voting preferences before providing them with aid. The posts specifically targeted those who voted for Vice President Kamala Harris or identified as Democrats. Rodgers has since issued an apology, blaming prescribed sleep medication for causing his 'out of character' actions. The incident has drawn significant criticism and backlash towards the sheriff's office.
