Ohio Sheriff's Lieutenant Apologizes for Anti-Democrat Remarks

An Ohio sheriff's lieutenant, John Rodgers, has apologized after making social media posts stating he would refuse to assist Democratic voters and would require proof of voting choice before providing aid. The Clark County Sheriff's Office deemed the comments "highly inappropriate" and issued Rodgers a written reprimand for violating social media policy. Rodgers attributed the posts to side effects from sleep aids and has since deactivated his Facebook account and sought alternative medication. The incident has heightened tensions in Springfield, Ohio, amid ongoing false claims about the Haitian community.
