Tea Party sheriff wears uniform at partisan event

Why did embattled Kenton County Sheriff Chuck Korzenborn - who praised a deputy who tortured grade school children - wear his sheriff uniform while participating in a Matt Bevin rally?

Several years ago, a sheriff in Florida was investigated for wearing his uniform at a partisan event - for it seemed to violate the Hatch Act. This is considered a prohibited use of a uniform during partisan activity. What Korzenborn did is no different. Not in the least bit.

Under the Hatch Act, the penalty for Korzenborn violating this regulation can be as steep as removal from office - or suspension of federal funds for the sheriff's department.
