| Description | Four elected officials in Chattooga County, Georgia, including Sheriff Mark Schrader, have left the county's Democratic Party after online threats against the sheriff and his deputies in the wake of a recent white supremacist rally in Dahlonega.
Schrader sent deputies to the Sept. 14 rally, billed by organizers as showing support for President Donald Trump, to help keep the peace. When he thanked his deputies on Facebook for their efforts, a number of people left comments sharply criticizing Shrader for sending deputies in the first place.
Schrader said some of the comments were taken as threats. Only a few of them, he said, were from local people. |
