Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva has taken aim at liberals in his county after being ousted from office in last week's election.
Villanueva, who won office in 2018 on the back of a tough-on-crime platform, was beaten by former Long Beach police chief Robert Luna, whom he accused of being a"puppet" of the liberal movement.
He also contended with a ballot measure placed by the board allowing it to fire the sheriff for malfeasance. The ballot measure won, and Luna secured 60% of the vote as of Thursday. “It’s time that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department became a place that’s viewed as the premier law enforcement establishment in the County,” Luna said on his website. “My bottom line: as Sheriff, our service always needs to be respectful, empathetic, and constitutional.”
