Former blue county sheriff unleashes on Dems after switching parties: 'Party of paid protests'

Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is now a registered Republican after leaving the Democratic Party.

"As of today, I’m leaving the party of paid protests, purple hair, and pronouns. And I’m joining the party of faith, family, and freedom — the Republican Party," Villanueva told the Unite Inland Empire Conservative Conference on Saturday.

"Today I announced ending 44 years as a registered Dem and joining the [GOP] Time to make [California] purple again!" he posted to X.

The former sheriff led the large blue county’s department from 2018 to 2022, as he was defeated by a significant margin by Sheriff Robert Luna in 2022.
