Dog the Bounty Hunter is not a candidate for office.

“But I like to back them up,” he said, speaking from a podium as a giant banner showing Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke’s face hung behind him.

Dog, whose real name is Duane Chapman, was taking questions Friday at a Draft Sheriff David Clarke for Senate Super PAC reception that was a subset of the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Conference attendees of all ages crowded into a space at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Oxon Hill, Maryland, to hear the star speak.

There, Dog also had a message about bipartisanship.

Though he praised the election of President Trump, Dog made sure to remember Democratic voters.

“They may have a different opinion then we do,” he said, but the love people had for one another would be much more important at heaven's gate.
