Liberals wasted no time flooding the X comment section with their outrage. One user posted: “What’s with all the military imagery and shooting machine guns and running and s\u2014? What the f\u2014 does that have to do with the state of Fresno County<\/a>? Nothing. You’re just parading your deficiencies, shorty!”<\/p>\n

Another critic went straight for the jugular, questioning “how much taxpayer money was used for this ED commercial?”<\/p>\n

Bredefeld defended the production, telling ABC30<\/a> the $7,000 video was paid for entirely by the Fresno Chamber of Commerce and that no Fresno County Sheriff’s Office overtime was used during filming.<\/p>\n

He also pushed back on criticism over the scenes showing him with firearms.<\/p>\n

When asked whether it was “a good look for the chairman of the board,” Bredefeld replied: “Absolutely, I love guns, and I also believe people should get CCWs and exercise their Second Amendment right.”<\/p>\n

He described the video as a tribute to law enforcement and said a longer version will be shown during the State of the County event.<\/p>\n

The chairman last drew attention in June after announcing a proposal to designate June as “Traditional Nuclear Family Month” alongside Pride Month\u2014setting up a heated political fight over family values and the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n

Bredefeld said the proposal aims to celebrate traditional families and their place in society\u2014adding that the resolution partly responds to what he calls efforts to “indoctrinate” children in schools, libraries, zoos and sports programs.<\/p>\n

He also argued Fresno County would be joining a broader movement<\/a> taking shape elsewhere in the country.<\/p>\n
