Holy shit, he actually said that.
This, right here, is a prime example of a political headline that looks like it comes from The Onion.
That's probably why it's posted in a forum for real headlines that look like they're from The Onion.

The onion is coming from inside the house!
Cop literally wants a convicted felon to run the country, I can't come up with a better satire for how little police care about rule of law... Or a better argument for the "Ban the Box" initiative
I'm definitely all for loosening restrictions on former felons.. Look bro, if we can have a convicted felon running for office, no reason why they can't vote or hold jobs if they've done their time right?
This sheriff would need to check the color of their hat before he agrees or not. And the color of their skin.
There's precedent....pretty sure Wyatt Earp was a felon
I couldn't own firearms or vote but this motherfucker could be president? Literally makes no sense and moreso if you read the reasoning as to why voting rights and firearm right can be restricted.
You can be president too.
Actually no I can't.
Not born in the states?
Cant/won't provide identifiable information.
to be fair, he was attempting satire -- he is 'switching sides' and now wants a felon to run the country.
They're so bad at everything lol WOOSH on satire
if we can have a convicted felon running for office, no reason why they can’t vote or hold jobs if they’ve done their time right?
That's a fair point: Once Trump has done his time then he can run for president.
