I respect him for his humble ability to self-evaluate and speak the truth. Some people just want to do a good job, be proud of what they have accomplished, and stand tall.

Sounds more like he’s afraid someone will find many skeletons in his closet.. he’s a Florida sheriff, so as someone who lives here in Florida, most sheriffs here are MAGA Trumpers

Well, at least he admits it.

I wouldn't give him credit just yet. We haven't seen what's in his closet🤣

Finally, someone with a brain.

Good idea…. Probably knows he would eventually be fired.

And very possibly he’s got secrets that he wants to keep secret.

Surprised the NYT had time to report this given all the non news there remains to obsess over. Like, what was Hunter wearing today?

Now do RFK Jr.

Eventually all the Trump nominees will be vetted. Whether by law enforcement. Or by journalist doing their jobs. If a Trumper has something to hide, now is not the time to invite inquiry into their past.

At least he was smart enough to realize that the job would be way over his head. If only some of the other unqualified selections would take a long, hard look at their own inadequacies!!
