Casten will host a virtual panel discussion about extremism and the constitutional sheriffs movement Sunday night. The public event is set for 6 p.m. on Casten's Facebook page, facebook.com/RepSeanCasten.

Sheriffs who follow the movement believe they are the supreme law enforcement authority in their counties and refuse to enforce laws they deem unconstitutional. The movement has [sic] ties to anti-government and white supremacist groups. [/sic]

He must be talking about something the left holds dear, like gender pills, or abortion-inducing medications.

He was talking about the failed War On Drugs but he accidentally admitted his war against guns is also a failure.

He has such a B-slappable face.

Extremism: life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness, we the people, constitutional republic, bill of rights, limited government, patriotism

[Upholder]

Violating the Constitutional guarantees of the citizens is extreme.  That is the rise in extremism that should be stopped.

The panel should be propositioned with a question like this.
