Hennepin Sheriff David Hutchinson takes on critics, media and DFL
https://www.fox9.com/news/hennepin-sheriff-david-hutchinson-takes-on-critics-media-and-dflHutchinson, a former Metro Transit Police sergeant, was the DFL-endorsed candidate in 2018 when he ran against incumbent Rich Stanek. He was even endorsed by former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
But his views would have shocked political allies if they had checked his personal Facebook page, David P. Hutchinson, which had been inactive since 2016.
In a series of Facebook posts in 2015, not previously reported, Hutchinson posted offensive memes about Democrats, compared Hillary Clinton to Hitler, and posted a parody campaign sign that read, "Hillary for Prison 2016."
In a post from August 23, 2015, Hutchinson wrote, "If you support Hilary (sic) or anyone affiliated with this f---ing criminal Obama you need to take your ass outa this country. They have ruined it."

caucused in the same place & when he was running I saw him at several DFL events in the area. He was very friendly and talked a good line, of course, the other option was Stanek so we all wanted Hutch to be better - probably accounts for some of the blinders.
I imagine quite a few of the locals are scratching their heads with me and muttering 
Our Senate District Central Committee meeting Wednesday might be interesting.
