Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco in his own words. No judgement, we report, you decide.
On August 24, 2024, the California Republican Assembly held a Board meeting in Ontario, California.
The lunch speaker was Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco.
The quotes are directly from his speech:
What does he think of President Trump? Bianco was a delegate for Trump at the 2024 RNC convention.
“Don’t get me wrong. I support Trump for President. But does anyone believe he is the best person for the job? I do not. There are people who could run without offending people on a daily basis”
What does he think of President Ronald Reagan”
“Reagan was never a leader. He was an accidental leader””
During the BLM riots, what was his position:
The first question (at the CRA Board meeting) was about him kneeling at BLM rally, “Would you do anything different from 2020 BLM rally? Did you ever kneel down to the BLM?” Answer, “Absolutely not”. This was followed up by another question, “Please explain why you kneeled?” “This is the first time that question has been raised, but I knew it would be at some point. Actually what happened is that the BLM leader asked me to pray with him. Then when we knelt, I did not ask my Deputies to join me but some did, he walked away and it was the camera that misrepresented what happened.” Here is what he said in 2021, “ Claims haters are spreading the story.
