Lesbian Deputy Gets Revenge On Boss Who Allegedly Fired Her For Her Sexuality By Knocking Him Out Of The Running For His Own Job

Lesbian Deputy Gets Revenge On Boss Who Allegedly Fired Her For Her Sexuality By Knocking Him Out Of The Running For His Own Job

Charmaine McGuffey worked for the Hamilton County, Ohio sheriff's office for 33 years.

She eventually became the first woman to reach the rank of major in the department's history.


But then Sheriff Jim Neil fired McGuffey, so she decided to run for his job as sheriff. McGuffey began her campaign in 2019.

Earlier this week, McGuffey defeated Neil in the Democratic primary. Incumbent Sheriff Neil drew just 30% of the vote compared to McGuffey's 70%.

McGuffey said:

"The endorsement with the Democratic Party certainly did carry a lot of weight."
"The other thing that carried a lot of weight was my message."
"I was a little surprised. I knew we would win by a margin. I didn't realize it would be that large."

McGuffey and Neil knew each other since college. But Neil's views became increasingly conservative, including appearing onstage with Donald Trump at a MAGA rally in 2016.

That appearance and his conservative slant cost him the backing of Democrats in his jurisdiction.

In addition to running for sheriff, McGuffey is suing the county and Neil for workplace discrimination and wrongful termination.

McGuffey said:

"The current sheriff and I got into a pretty serious disagreement about the practice of him not holding officers accountable for use of force and harassment of women, female officers, and female inmates."
"He fired me. So after about a year or so of contemplating, I decided I can do a better job than him."


She added:

"Quite frankly, my opponent has pretended to be a Democrat for many years now, when he's actually much more aligned with the Tea Party Republicans."
"He tells people what they want to hear and then doesn't follow through."


McGuffey faces Republican Bruce Hoffbauer in November. Hoffbauer released a statement saying McGuffey's priority is "in advancing a progressive political agenda."

McGuffey fired back saying:

"What that statement from my opponent says to me is that he has a 1950s attitude—the same attitude that I came up [against] as a deputy under different sheriffs. It's the mass-incarceration attitude; it's the 'Let's lock 'em up and walk away'."



If McGuffey wins in November, she intends to revamp the whole sheriff's office, starting with accountability and justice reform.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
