A sheriff’s deputy in Ohio is backpedaling after a series of social media posts in which he said he would not help people who support the Democratic Party while comparing the party’s presidential standard-bearer to a heavily antagonistic character from the Bible.

Clark County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant John Rodgers got in hot water late last week with a series of four posts on Facebook.

A 20-year veteran of the agency, with some 27 years of combined law enforcement experience, the deputy’s latest role was Uniform Patrol Commander in 2023, according to his county biography.

“I am sorry,” the deputy allegedly posted on Oct. 20. “If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you.”
