California sheriff offers mic-drop story about Harris, Trump differences with cops

California Sheriff Mike Boudreaux offered Just the News a poignant story on the different experiences he had with the presidential candidates: Donald Trump thanked law enforcement while Kamala Harris offered no such acknowledgment.

"I have a real small story that I always share that when he [Trump] was running for president for the first time, I was running a safety dignitary detail where he was coming into town," Boudreaux said on the Friday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "I was in uniform standing off to the side as his detail came through to make their way over to where he was going to give his speech."

"Donald Trump made his way through a crowd about 20 to 30 feet over to me, shook my hand and said he wanted to thank me and the men and women in law enforcement, because he knows we have a tough job and that if he is president will support us," the Tulare County sheriff continued. 

Boudreaux said that there were no cameras or video to capture that moment which is what made the interaction even greater.

He said he had the opposite experience with Harris. 

"When this detail went down where Kamala Harris has me and others of law enforcement behind her in that image...on that day she came in last minute, didn't shake the hands or say hi to anyone who was standing behind her and when it was done, her detail escorted her out," Boudreaux said. "Those are staunch differences in personalities of the two."

Boudreaux was recently featured in one of Harris’ campaign ads suggesting she would be tough on the southern border and tough on crime. Harris used footage from a 2014 press conference for her new ad where Boudreaux was that day. 

He made it clear he does not support Harris. 

"It's deceptive and I couldn't in good faith, let any of my constituents here or anyone who has taken a look at that ad, have it imply that I or anyone in law enforcement is supporting her based on her track record, because that's truly not the case," Boudreaux said.
