Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said on Tuesday that Democrats have replaced the “plantation” with the “American ghetto.”

Appearing on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends,”Clarke said, “These hellholes, cities, the American ghetto has replaced the plantation where Democrats have a large segment of black people herded on to miserable conditions: inescapable poverty. They have to send their kids to failing public schools. Massive unemployment, crime, violence and disorder, these people have wrecked great American cities with this progressive urban policy.”

In the wake of the riots in Milwaukee, Clarke said, “the social order totally collapsed in a part of the city of Milwaukee. And when that happens, tribal behavior takes over and tribal behavior leads to you law of the jungle replacing the rule of law.” (RELATED: Sheriff David Clarke: The ‘Law Of The Jungle’ Took Over In Milwaukee Due To ‘Progressive Policies’)

Clarke has also criticized Hillary Clinton for “getting in bed with this Black Lives movement, this dangerous, hateful ideology, she is taking it out on good, law-abiding black people that live in the American ghetto. They’re the ones who are victimized disproportionately by crime and violence.” (RELATED: Sheriff David Clarke: Hillary Is ‘All In With The Criminal Element’ [VIDEO])
