*One of Donald Trump’s most loyal Black supporters has seemingly been blacklisted from almost all conservative TV, including Fox News.
Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke appears to have fallen out of Trump’s good graces. According to The Daily Beast, Fox News “banned” Clarke last year for reasons that are not known but a source told the outlet that his “rhetoric became crazier and crazier and most shows refused to use him.”
Clarke has not made an appearance on Fox News since Feb. 14 2018, the night of the Stoneman Douglas massacre. Part of the reported reason behind the banishment stems from his on-camera rants against Parkland school shooting victims.
His last appearance on any Fox-owned television station was on February 16, 2018, when he appeared on Fox Business Network’s “Risk & Reward” and spewed wild conspiracies about the tragedy. He even accused liberal billionaire George Soros of funding the students’ gun control campaign.

The former sheriff has also stopped working for the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action. Following his retirement as sheriff in 2017, Clarke became a spokesman and senior adviser for the organization.
Via Newsone:
After stepping down as sheriff, Clarke sought a position with the Trump administration. However, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly blocked him from getting a job at the federal law enforcement agency. Later, when Kelly became White House chief of staff, he prevented Clarke from obtaining a White House position.
Part of Clarke’s problem was that he has tons of unwanted baggage. He oversaw a shoddy Milwaukee jail system in which four people—including a baby—died.
Instead of working directly for Trump, Clarke landed the position in September 2017 with America First and he said in a statement.
“It gives me the chance to do what I love most—promote President Trump’s agenda, including his fierce support for the American law enforcement officer, and ensure the will of the American people who got President Trump elected is not derailed by the left or the self-serving Washington establishment,” he said.
Clarke remains an active presence on social media, where he continues to spread his outrageous theories to his over one million followers.
