Critics cite his actions\u200c during the COVID-19 pandemic, including a notable incident where he ordered\u200d the arrest of a Christian pastor for holding church services, which has led to\u200b accusations of him being a &#8220;COVID tyrant.&#8221; In contrast,Chronister is criticized for being passive during Black Lives Matter protests,where he supposedly instructed his officers to\u2064 stand down while rioters \u2062looted.<\/p>\n<p>Prominent critics, such as GOP Rep. Thomas Massie,argue he is unfit \u2064for the role due to his perceived \u200cbias against religious freedom and weak \u2062responses to crime. Many conservative voices \u2062express that Chronister embodies the\u200c very &#8220;woke&#8221; agenda they oppose, citing his advocacy\u2064 for diversity and inclusion programs and past financial support\u200d for Democratic candidates. This growing opposition has led some to \u2064call on Trump to withdraw ChronisterS nomination,claiming that appointing \u2062him\u200d would further the \u2063spread\u2064 of leftist policies within federal law enforcement. the criticisms underscore a deep division \u200dwithin the Republican base regarding \u2063the nomination.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Chad Chronister, President-elect Donald Trump&rsquo;s nominee to head the Drug Enforcement Agency, has ignited volcanic backlash from conservatives, who remember the Florida sheriff for arresting a Christian pastor who held church services during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Chronister &mdash; the sheriff of Hillsborough County &mdash; had his officers stand down when Black Lives Matter rioters blocked traffic and looted stores during the same time frame.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most vocal critics is GOP Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/resign-rep-thomas-massie-tears-mike-johnson-wants-speakership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Massie<\/a> of Kentucky, who wrote on X: &ldquo;Trump&rsquo;s nominee for head of DEA should be disqualified for ordering the arrest a pastor who defied COVID lockdowns.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I&rsquo;m going to call &lsquo;em like I see &lsquo;em.

They recall how the Hillsborough County sheriff arrested a Christian pastor for conducting church services during the COVID-19 pandemic while allowing Black Lives Matter protesters to disrupt traffic and loot without intervention. GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky expressed his disapproval on X, stating that Chronister should be disqualified due to his actions against the pastor. During a press conference in March 2020, Chronister boasted about arresting the pastor; although charges were later dropped, it left a lasting negative impression.<\/p>\n<p>Critics like Liz Wheeler labeled him a &#8220;COVID tyrant&#8221; and argued he misused his authority and is unfit to lead the DEA. Spence Rogers, a conservative consultant from Tampa Bay, listed several reasons why Trump should reconsider Chronister&#8217;s nomination, including his support for transgender issues and perceived weakness on crime. He emphasized that local conservatives do not back Chronister and view him as aligned with Democratic values.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Davis from The Federalist echoed these sentiments by calling Chronister an ineffective leader who enforces left-wing policies detrimental to law enforcement. Many believe that after years under Biden-Harris administration policies, America cannot afford another federal leader who selectively applies laws or promotes progressive agendas like DEI (Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion) initiatives or transgenderism<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2375974,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Donald-Trump-5.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7072,4539,6733,46036,3634],"class_list":["post-2375973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-christians","tag-conservatives","tag-controversy","tag-dea-nominee","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Donald-Trump-5.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2375973"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375973\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2375977,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2375973\/revisions\/2375977"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2375974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2375973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2375973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2375973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
