1/ A sitting sheriff is defending the individuals who plotted to commit an act of domestic terrorism and kidnap Michigan governor @gretchenwhitmer
"I'm not even sure they had any part in it," he baselessly asserts, claiming that maybe have been executing a citizen's arrest

@gretchenwhitmer 2/ In May, Sheriff Dar Leaf appeared at a "American Patriot Rally-Sheriffs speak out" event in Grand Rapids, MI to protest @gretchenwhitmer's stay at home orders alongside some of the men now accused of domestic terrorism.
He says he doesn't regret sharing the stage with them.

@gretchenwhitmer 3/ Ironically while protesting @gretchenwhitmer's stay-at-home orders, he himself was, well, working from home....because, you know, he said he wanted to stay healthy: mlive.com/news/grand-rap…
@gretchenwhitmer 4/ I know this will surprise but Sheriff Dar Leaf is a Republican who back in June took to his Facebook page to echo Donald Trump's false claim that voting by mail/absentee voting will lead to voter fraud: wwmt.com/news/local/bar…
@gretchenwhitmer 5/ When Leaf was pressed by a reporter about whether voter fraud was common in Michigan, he couldn't recall investigating a single case of voter fraud.
"We had some people that showed up wearing some inappropriate stuff...but nothing we can actually say was voter fraud"
