In an email, Katrina Pierson said that Arpaio did not inform her before switching his endorsement.
“We are unaware of this information as it has not been relayed to our campaign,” she wrote.
Ken Emanuelson, a Dallas Tea Party activist and a Pierson campaign volunteer, said that he was disappointed that Arpaio felt misled. He added that the campaign had provided the sheriff with rankings from NumbersUSA, a conservative immigration group. Those rankings knocked Sessions for comments during a Dallas Morning News editorial board meeting, where he supported a guest worker program for people living in the country illegally.
ORIGINAL ITEM: WASHINGTON– Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona withdrew his endorsement of tea party congressional candidate Katrina Pierson on Saturday, asserting that she had “misled” him about Rep. Pete Sessions’ views on immigration. He also threw his support to Sessions, R-Dallas, in Tuesday’s primary.
“I was told by Ms. Pierson and her supporters that Pete Sessions was in favor of weakening our nation’s immigration system and was a supporter of amnesty.

He endorsed Vernon Parker(anchor baby supporter claiming to be an immigration hardliner) and La Raza Rick for 2012 among others.
His good endorsements were JD Hayworth and incumbent AG Tom Horne who lost to the Jon Kyl puppet Brnovich.
In some of the House races McCain's endorsements haven't worked out for RINOS like Quayle, Paton and Kirk Adams.

Joe Arpaio: My endorsements more effective than John McCain's

It appears there’s confusion about Jeff Sessions, and Pete Sessions.
Pete Sessions is a total amnesty loving RINO. Sherrif Joe has been played.
GOT played. News from last spring.
This is from March 1, 2014.
Why is it relevant now?
Very interesting dynamics. Thanks for posting. HOORAY Jeff Sessions and Sheriff Joe.
Um, Coal, the Texas primary is ancient history.
But anyway, I’ll never forgive the Sheriff for endorsing JANET NAPALINTANO (D) for Governor in 2002.
Just read an article. Pete Sessions wants total amnesty.
It is a mixup between Pete and Jeff. Hope someone tells him.
I have the highest regard for Sheriff Joe, but you are right that he has picked some rotten eggs at times.
Certainly Pete Sessions is an amnesty whore.
“This is from March 1, 2014.
Why is it relevant now?”
I was thinking the very same thing.
Sessions won re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. He defeated Katrina Pierson in the Republican primary on March 4, 2014. He defeated Frank Perez (D) and Ed Rankin (L) in the general election on November 4, 2014.
yep...she would have been a good one too...our group endorsed her as well...A REAL FRIGGIN PITY...
Then it is not too long until the next primary where we can try to get rid of Pete Sessions and Joe Barton.

Yeah if conservatives are serious about getting rid of Sessions they should start shopping for a candidate soon, he crushed Pierson.
