[@mr.cookiemacias291]

Excellent work by the sheriff. Vote these idiot career politicians out.

[@camilleforgacs8447]

Way to go Sheriff Chad. If you run I'll be voting for you.

[@StarBright1976]

Great job Chad! We love you as our Sheriff and will support you 100% if you decide to run for Governor. Just find us a good replacement for Sheriff too. We’re tired of the lies used in naming our propositions, so thank you for bringing awareness so we aren’t fooled again.

[@stayreal4l284]

Remember, it’s only a crime to be an elected official in California and endorse Trump! This wouldn’t have been a problem had he had been a puppet and endorsed Brandon 😂😂

[@ericamcgee9714]

Thurmond is a clown.🤡🤡🤡 As a teacher of nearly 20 years, his terrible policies are why myself and loads of my colleagues are looking to leave public education. Bianco, you've got our votes!👮‍♂️🇺🇸

I am a Chad Bianca supporter from since his initial election into office. He has done a great job as Sherrif and I look forward to seeing him as Governor of California

[@leetamayei7342]

Sheriff will be a good governor. We need solution, not someone to talk about a problem.

[@kathrynbaltierra9468]

Thurmond is a typical politician. Sheriff Chad Bianco would be an excellent governor if he decides to run. He's not compromised and tells it like it is. I respect his courage to stand for what is right.

[@terejansen-fu8uc]

[@forresthaggertychannel4301]

Can you tell which one of these two is the slimy politician? It’s not Chad Bianco!

[@domainscience7717]

So, the guy is worried about the sheriff making a statement in uniform but obviously has no problem with all of the crime that he does not want prosecuted.

[@Vereglez-d4z]

If Thurmond is going to run the state the way he has run the educational system…😳Lord help us.

Chad has my vote if he runs but he’ll need to clean it up a bit. Tough task trying to convince the idiots in our state to vote for you.

[@DavidSerpaforCongress]

Wow! The difference between Bianco and Thurmond is massive. The moderators did a great job. Time to flip California Red in 2026!

[@THEROOTMATTERS]

YOU DO NOT REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME BY BEING SOFT ON CRIME. THAT ONLY LOWERS THE STATS OF PPL WHO COMMITTED VIOLENCE YET GOT TO LOWER THE CHARGE. WHO IS THE SUPERTENDENT TRYING TO FOOL? NOT US OUT HERE LISTENING TO BOTH THE ELECTED SHERIFF AND THE SUPERINTENDENT. FACT CHECKING IS A. REGULAR ACT THESE DAYS

[@kenpowell3557]

go Chad Tom is an elected wearing his uniform of superintendentalso an elected offical as well--our schools are out of control that needs to be the discussion!

[@sunjaykumar7970]

whoa! This got intense! Love it!!!

[@DurwinCoustaut]

Sheriff Bianco: Great vision & producutive policys. Something CA has been missing for decades. Tony Thurman: Same old diaster of failed policys "throw away tens of millions & millions of dollars" for no results.

[@juniorportillo3567]

The Sheriff wiped the floor with this politician! To be raised in an LEO family and still be looking at how to fix is issues is embarrassing!!

[@majorcornell3799]

Thurman is dangerous

[@Taxninjaz]

thurmond is a good liar just like his daddy newsome

[@MaryYanez-il9qn]

I’m voting for our Sheriff. Thank you, sir for the extremely hard work you do everyday.

[@Jah1904]

Please Bianco, make the state of California great again so I don’t have to move my family out

[@user-zv1xj9xk6c]

Lots of school property ….? Does THAT PROPERTY INCLUDE ALL THE PRISONS THAT THEY HAVE CLOSED? 😮

[@dexduger6026]

TONY THURMOND IS THE PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHATS WRONG WITH CA POLITICS

[@user-zt8me5re3k]

Tony Thurmond only speaks in platitudes and won't really answer the tough questions. Sheriff Bianco has common sense and a pragmatic view of government. But Thurmond got him to mess up with the "kids have no rights" and "dog" comments and he will use it against him during the campaign. And Thurmond will probably get elected.

[@JohnBaumer-ug2ow]

Look at Tony Thurmond sit there and lie, lie, lie just like ALL POLITICIANS do.

[@miguelsoto3941]

Sheriff, please run for governor! We are sick and tired of all this crime and their weak policies that support criminals! These politicians can never accept that they’re wrong and their views are destroying families and lives. The sad part is, is that people will end up voting for this guy because they’re just as dumb and twisted. Do your research people, think for yourselves and stop watching one sided media.

[@65chevelle44]

Thank you!! Sheriff Bianco ❤Remember my American Brothers and Sisters it's " We The People " not We The Government. God Bless America and all my American Brothers and Sisters of all colors, creeds and backgrounds ❤🤍💙🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@Elmnt_115]

From the city of Riverside. Chad Bianco for California Governor 🫡🙏🏼

[@kevinmoore6609]

Tony Thurmond lied and twisted Sheriff Bianco's words the whole interview.

[@bullgamer7343]

That other guy kept avoiding a direct answer on prop 36 surprised he isn’t like harris and starts laughing out loud. I think sheriff would be a super good candidate for governor.

[@chipset2900]

A conviction in civil court does not constitute a felony.

[@SgtGudda]

Even Thurmond hairline doesn’t agree with him

[@dexduger6026]

CHAD BIANCO HAS MY VOTE 🇺🇸

Thurmond is another great example of someone you never want to vote for. Great job Sheriff!!

That's my sheriff!!!!

I with Sheriff chad all way.

[@Gabriel_Drifts]

We need yall to post a training for what to do when the big earthquake hits

[@rickswan7201]

Look up your local "Community Emergency Response Team" training at the city or county level. It has a FEMA driven 20-hour course curriculum that will cover light search and rescue, triage/first aid, fire suppression, and most importantly how to keep yourself safe while helping others. Great way to start your "preparedness" journey.

16;57 is the next break

[@danpress7745]

Just another example of dishonest, arrogant politicis. Got a Sheriff who can't understand that political in uniform os unethical, while another dude is using this as a political stepping stone.

[@thecrown6556]

Look at his aggressive posturing of Sheriff, his is a bully. He can't even speak, he needs the host to assist him.

[@moodyblue9089]

Mr sheriff is lying there are laws on the books

[@comicnerd420]

Students dont have rights?

[@fastherghosters8114]

Sherrif, who wants a felon in charge, speaks a lot about his character and probably how he runs his office.... a felon for felon

[@GLC-1979]

Kangaroo court charges in a banana republic aren't valid...you lose.

[@rachelbarnes6468]

He's a great Sheriff and cares and serves CA our current Gov is arrogant and hates CA and parents. Who he votes for or like is his right. Assuming is not right so should I assume you a socialist who wants all rights taken away, guns confiscated, all electric vehicles and not be able to say merry Christmas because you support a socialists and socialism?

[@pablojunior951]

Chad 😂 Bianco wants felons in the white house every prisoner should run for Governor or be President

[@rachelbarnes6468]

Your opinion, The felony charges were from a corrupt judge and a biast one. He has the right to support and vote for whom he wants as long as a does a good job for CA , which he has been doing at his current job.

[@Right-Eye-Design]

Riverside County officers killed my dog and laughed about it after.

[@robertkay9871]

What was your dog doing?

[@Right-Eye-Design]

@robertkay9871 Officers in Riverside County (unalive) dogs and then laugh about it, it happened to me...Officers in Riverside use tazers on homeless people's faces, deny medical care required by law, silence people, etc, numerous Riverside County Officers are in prison/jail/trial. Sheriff Chad Bianco and his facilities are under investigation. Riverside County has officers who have been caught Trafficking Fentanyl, Multiple Sex Abuse Victims, Sextortion, Weapon Trafficking, Stealing, Robbery, Bribes, law enforcement gangs, silencing people, etc. Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco is a self-admitted extremist 'Oath Keeper', who's leader is in prison for Trump's insurection, and was beating his kids/wife. Chad Bianco is in charge of jails, court houses, corners, and law enforcement precints, he reviews himself for corruption. Citizens are asking for outside investigations of officers, not internal investigations liks Chad Bianco does, he never finds corruption of his own peopl. Council members voted to give themselves raises, Sheriff Chad Bianco, and the D.A., Chad Bianco will to make $347,771 a year, while under investigation for corruption. Riverside County has tried to cover up officer's sex abuse cases, by offering hush money, intimidation, harrassment, etc. Riverside County wants to give life to all fentanyl traffickers, unless you are one of Sheriff Chad Bianco's officers, you will be released, unless the public finds out.
