The Democrat and criminal-led movement to defund the police has caused proponents of law enforcement to choose a different side, and in VA, the third Democrat Sherriff, has left the party.
“Thanks to its increasing anti-police extremism, the Democrat Party has lost three influential voters in Virginia,” Bizpacreview reported on Thursday.
The three influential voters — Sheriff Chip Shuler of Smyth County, Sheriff John McClanahan of Buchanan County, and Sheriff Brian Hieatt of Tazewell County — were once all Democrats. But not any anymore.
Shuler made his switch two Mondays ago when he formally filed a membership application with the Smyth County Republican Committee. The application was promptly approved, as reported by local station WJHL.
“I am changing to the Republican Party because of the relentless attack on law enforcement by Democrats in Richmond and Washington. My deputies work hard to serve and protect the citizens of Smyth County,” he said in a press release at the time.
“As sheriff, it has been difficult to watch my deputies try to move forward during this unprecedented assault on our profession,” he said in a press release. We remain an honorable profession and should not be judged by the bad acts of a few,” he added.
“I congratulate Sheriff Shuler on taking this bold move to leave the Democratic Party and join the Republican Party. We are thrilled to have him as a member of the Republican Party in Smyth County,” he told WJHL.
McClanahan and Hieatt both made their conversions in 2020.
“My career is a large part of my life and I consider it to be my calling. I have said it many times but the Democratic Party that we know today is no longer the party my grandfather was involved in,” McClanahan said in a statement last September.
“The ideologies of the party have shifted away from those traditional values. Currently, the Democratic Party is going against everything I stand for, pushing for defunding the police and the taking away of safeguards that have been put in place for us,” he added.
McClanahan, who switched parties last year, said that he couldn’t “be associated with the National Democratic Party” due to bills introduced at the state and federal level that would “negatively affect” communities and his “livelihood.”
“Democratic leaders across the country have been ones that are pushing for bills that negatively affect law enforcement, as well as other values I stand for,” he said in his statement. “I have many friends within our local Democratic Party and hold no negative feelings toward them.”
The Democrat party’s plans to defund the police have backfired on them.
At least one candidate is running on refunding the police for 2022. Fox News reported on GA Governor candidate Vernon Jones, who also left the Democrat Party to become a Republican:
Former DeKalb County CEO and state lawmaker Vernon Jones have now set his sights on the governor’s office.
In April, Jones announced he would challenge Republican incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022.
“I’ve demonstrated strong leadership. I’ve had to run a government. The buck has had to stop with me,” Jones said.
He said his campaign would focus on election integrity, statewide economic development, banning “critical race theory” in schools, barring transgender athletes from sports, and restoring “law and order.”
“We cannot be soft on criminals and tough on crime,” said Jones. “This is a challenge for us right now. There’s been a lack in leadership. We are literally harder on police officers–we are handcuffing them–so, they can’t do their jobs.”
Drug Prohibition is destroying Black neighborhoods. We learned how it works from Alcohol Prohibition. These Sheriffs have to know. This Federal Marshal does.

In this time and age, I find it difficult to understand how anyone person can identify himself/herself as a Democrat when this political party represents immorality, lack of respect, subjugation of freedom of speech, religion, self-initiative, assembly and total government control of people’s lives.

I would never Trust any Liberal Progressive Anti-American Democrat Possing as a Conservative Republican.They’re Traitors they’re Possing as a Fake Phony Republican totally working for their Corrupt Crooked Democrats Anti-American Party.
You are 110% right. Jeff Van Drew from NJ just stuck it to us on the infrastructure bill vote. President Trump welcomed him to the party after he switched just so he could become a Stinking RINO operative! Vote them all out….
Great! More fckng Rinos. That’s just what we need. Vote them all out. Fck mcCarthy and mcConnell….
To bad more people don’t wake up before its to late.
To think that, under all the chaos past and present under Democratic administrations and actors, who are “leading” our country, there are still people in this country who still believe in the Democrats. In recent years, the Democratic party has developed into the “American Communist Party” (ACP) instead This is trully a case of “mental incapacity.” Good for those who are finally seeing the light and change to the Republican party. More are needed!
Basically, their morallity is nonexistant.
See, Democrats have seen, felt and experienced the “two-faced Republican liars” in both House of Representatives (13 turn-coats) and US Senate (19 turn-coats)…headed up by chief cheer-leader Sen. Mitch “love China” McConnell aided and abetted by his trusty henchman Lindsey Graham. Mr. Maclanahan has assessed (liars in) both Democratic and Rebulican Parties, concluding RINO’s aren;t so bad “after all.” RINO’s love America as long as RINO’s ‘Get-Their-Piece-of-The-Action.” The Sheriff realizes there’s alot of “hokey-pokey” goin’ on with Democrats…just he hasn’t been “seein’ any in his neck-of-the-woods.” He’ll try the RINO formula… drinkin’ the “Kool Aid.” Pray. Amen. God Bless America. See, everybody knew “Jan 6” was Pelosi’s “set-up,” but kept quiet. She, and only Pelosi, has the “keys to the building.” PERIOD!!! Read A Bible. KJV. Psalm 128. 10 Commandments everywhere. Bible Pods to combat CRT…head-on. Pledge of Allegiance in ALL schools to decimate both CRT and LGBTQ forever. Soldiers Prayer (Psalm 144:1-2) for those killed and suffering in Kabul. No, Convention of States. Yes, Contract with America. Amen.
Like many opinionated people like county sheriffs, this fellow has used faulty facts, data, logic and decision making to change his mind and party. The Democratic Party has no plans to defund police. It’s all talk in areas where police are killing innocent civilians only. The fact is that policing by bigots has turned racial and that needs change. Only in phony riot situations, notably in Portland OR and Minneapolis MN, over unwarranted black men’s killings is there any talk of ‘defunding’ which means reorganization of law enforcement to minimize such deadly confrontations. This sheriff has also exaggerated the extent of such talk–yes, it’s mostly talk with few if any budgets actually cut–to justify his extreme party change, understanding that politics determines elections in VA. And he may actually feel some guilt that he has no plans or even intentions to reevaluate his own force to see if change is warranted, so he’s evading responsibility with a simply party change. Clearly the world knows Republicans, his new party, are authoritarians like policemen and so does this sheriff. He’s making himself more comfortable with fellow strongmen. It’s nonsense, but millions of citizens have bitten the dictatorship bug with voting changes not only to suppress, but now to count votes with politicians in charge, and even nullify votes those officials don’t like. It’s a right wing pattern attracting the sheriffs.
Do you actually believe this rubbish or have you been paid to say this ? For the sake of your wits, I hope it is the latter. There are better ways to earn money than spouting these monstrous lies. If you want to move the needle on gun-shot dead black people, go to Chicago and start with blacks shootin other blacks with a body count of dead blacks hundreds of time larger than these rare times you talk about. Morgan Fdeeman says a good way to avoid getting shot by a cop is obeying what he says. Struggling to escape and reachin for the officer’s weapon will get you or anyone else , regardless of color, shot.
If you say the Democrat Party has no plans to defund you are splitting hairs. If not in the party platform then at a great minimal members of the Democrat Party are endorsing the defund movement and rnacting local policies that are and have done so. Don”t through your decadent ND DELICATELY CHOSEN verbage around and expect to be convincing when the news reports give ample evidence of these actions and the watering down of bail requirements. Tah-tah….may you have no need of the police/sheriff’s departments firsthand for any reason… for if you did, I do believe you would (or should, assuming you have any semblance of a conscience) find yourself embarrassed espousing your nonsensical, derilect, misinformed, untrue lingo.
DrBillLemoine,
Please remove your head from your ass before you suffocate.
Whatever it takes to get reelected…
WHY DO WE NEED A TWO PARTY ANYWAY??????
ONE PARTY IS DESTROYING THE NATION, THE SECOND PARTY IS TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS NATION, BUT IT GETS DEMONIZED BY FOOLS WHO HATE THEIR OWN COUNTRY. WE ALL SHOULD PULL ON THE SAME STRING AND STAND FOR THE BEST COUNTRY EVER.
ALL THIS WOKE CRAP, CRT, COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM IS NOT GOOD FOR US. PLUS THIS OPEN BORDER WITH MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS COMING IN TO GET SUPPORTED BY TAX PAYERS, PLUS NONE ARE VACCINATED, BUT HERE BIDEN IS CALLING UN VACCED PEOPLE TERRORISTS!!!!!!!
JUST LOOKING AT BIDENS CROOKED SHARK SMILE, WILL NOT REASSURE US ABOUT HIS GOOD WILL, HE LOOKS LIKE A THUG AND WHY DOES HE WHISPER????> GUESS HE IS THE NEW DOG WHISPERER. THERE IS NOTHING PRESIDENTIAL ABOUT HIM, HE IS JUST A LYING POLITICIAN AND LET US HOPE AND PRAY WE WILL GET SOMEONE WITH A SPINE AND BACKBONE BACK IN TO OFFICE, NOT THIS PUPPET WHO HAS NOT ACCOMPLISHED ONE THING IN HIS FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE, BUT MADE US THE LAUGHING STOCK IN THE WORLD.
OUT OF SPITE HE DESTROYED ALL THE GREAT THINGS TRUMP DID FOR THIS NATION. TRUMP

WE LIVED UNDER COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM, AMERICANS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.THEY NEVER HAD WAR ON THEIR LAND, HAD TO STAND IN BREAD LINES AND STARVED , BESIDES THE CIVIL WAR THEY NEVER HAD TO DO WITHOUT. SO WE PRAY THEY ALL WILL WAKE UP TO BIDENS NIGHTMARE ASAP.
What took so long?
