Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said he is selling anti-Nazi T-shirts to help send a message that Neo Nazis have no place in his jurisdiction. The “Scumbag Eradication Team” t-shirts, which sell for $25, will help raise funds for the Volusia Sheriff’s Youth Foundation to help take children to the Florida Holocaust Museum to “learn about the history neo-Nazis want to deny.” “We’re going to teach kids in our community to reject hate, whether it’s hatred based on faith, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, or any other excuse,” Chitwood said. The sheriff has taken several actions to condemn white supremacy and show solidarity with the minorities in his community, which has earned him the ire of hate groups who he said falsely accused him of being a crossdresser and a pedophile.
