There are several candidates for Broward County sheriff, but the South Florida Sun Sentinal thinks that a former sheriff who Gov. Ron DeSantis removed from his post in January of 2019 should get the job back:

Dana Loesch leads off the parade of disbelief:

The @SunSentinel writes " Israel could not have prevented the tragedy. The school system was more to blame.” Despite REPEATED police visits https://t.co/QvTlFk9qPf
and 39 calls https://t.co/tJ34oXMOmB https://t.co/9qIaniUuo3

The Sun Sentinel previously slammed Israel and his department after the Parkland mass shooting:

The Sun hates Ron DeSantis so much they’ll back an embarrassment to the badge whose incompetency cost lives. The Sun is garbage.

Wow.

His officers cowered. Rot comes from the head and he was it. He then went on CNN the next night, knowing his officers hid, and tried to blame the NRA and everyone else under the sun. Children lost their lives thanks to his ineptness. Trash journalism.

Other than all that, sure, give him the job back. *Eye roll*

Despite the work that this newspaper did in showing how so many people let the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School down that awful day, this newspaper has decided to shrug it off because nbd, right? https://t.co/LTiv8FZ8yG
