SF Sheriff Gets Blowback Over Puzzling Endorsement of MAGA Crusader for Governor
Briefly

SF Sheriff Paul Miyamoto endorsed Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco for governor, causing political shock due to stark ideological differences. Miyamoto, known for his support of sanctuary cities, has a personal connection to Bianco, who is a hard-right MAGA candidate opposed to immigration. Miyamoto's statement highlighted his endorsement as support for a peer leader in law enforcement, stating that public safety transcends political affiliations. The endorsement raised questions due to the apparent lack of alignment between their political beliefs, primarily attributed to their friendship.
Miyamoto supports Sheriff Chad Bianco, alongside other sheriffs in California, as a peer leader in law enforcement and in the work we do to keep our communities safe.
Law enforcement is not defined by political parties, but grounded in a commitment to public safety and the integrity of the profession.
Miyamoto made the endorsement just because he's friends with the guy. I honestly don't know what his stance is on every issue.
Bianco is virulently anti-immigrant and endorsed Trump by announcing, 'I think it's time we put a felon in the White House.'
