Clarke, a controversial sheriff and staunch Trump supporter, who reportedly accepted an offer to become the next assistant deputy secretary of Homeland Security, is known for making quite the stir with his fashion choices over the years.

At most of his public functions, the sheriff often can be found wearing a cowboy hat, a stylish suit or, most notable, his uniform decorated with a number of pins and ribbons.

On Wednesday evening, Charles Clymer pointed out on Twitter that even though they may look like military medals, they may not be.

Clymer‏ — who describes himself as a Texan army veteran, genderqueer, and a writer — immediately launched into Clark via tweet replies, attacking the sheriff for his "toy uniform" and "unauthorized" pins.

"Look at this f------ guy's uniform," Clymer posted. "You see all that s--- pinned all over his dress uniform jacket? That's not supposed to be there."

Clymer's post was liked more 9,000 times — but he was nowhere close to being finished.

Over the course of 12 minutes, Clymer unleashed a fiery tirade against Clark, with 14 separate tweets in all.

The rant immediately went viral. Read the rest below.

That's not s… https://t.co/PcuRihOp1v 3/ I can't be the only military veteran who has seen Clarke's uniform and been like: that's fucking ridiculous. 4/ Let me explain why this is irritating for me. Military (and police) decorations are earned. They take hard work and sacrifice. 5/ Colin Powell once described a dress uniform as a solider's resume. You can tell what they've done by their ribbons and badges. 6/ Implied here, of course, is that the more shit you have on your uniform, the more impressed civilians will be. It projects authority. 7/ If you've earned decorations, wear them! But Sheriff David Clarke is trying to pull a fast one on average Americans. 8/ I mean look at this fucking shit.

Stupid fun. 12/ But a grown-ass adult arranging his uniform in a way with novelty pins to give the appearance of being highly decorated? What the fuck. 13/ It's so cringe-inducing every time I see it because I think of other military folks shaking their damn heads at this Mickey Mouse shit. 14/ Anyway, David Clarke is fucking awful, but his toy uniform, especially, sets my teeth on edge. Rant over. /thread Up Next See Gallery Discover More Like This HIDE CAPTION SHOW CAPTION of SEE ALL BACK TO SLIDE
