He also shills for an extremist organization known as the Oath Keepers, made up of former and current law enforcement and military personnel who believe it is their duty to defy what they deem to be unconstitutional orders.
These unconstitutional orders include a number of paranoid wingnut fantasies such as, "any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps," and, "orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty and declares the national government to be in violation of the compact by which that state entered the Union," among others.

The erstwhile sheriff co-penned a book with white supremacist Randy Weaver of Ruby Ridge shootout fame. And his Vegas conference included such speakers as Larry Pratt, militia promoter and head of Gun Owners of America, who has his own set of nefarious associations.

This despicable, deplorable, racist, fascist asshole, is supported by every gun-toting far-right pile of dog shit on the planet, including the NRA. His "pardon" is a slap in the face to our Constitution and our way of life.
