Video: Joe Arpaio Opens For Donald Trump At Mesa Rally--12/16/15
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is heading to Iowa to campaign on behalf of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, according toCNN and New York Times reports.
The Arizona sheriff has been a vocal opponent of the Obama administration for years and is known for his tough take on tackling crime and hardline stance on illegal immigration.
Arpaio will appear with Trump in Marshalltown, according to the Times, a month after appearing at a Trump rally in his home state.
Trump has made ending illegal immigration a focal point of his Republican presidential campaign, and is running neck-and-neck with Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) in Iowa ahead of ballots being cast Monday.
"I have great respect for Sheriff Arpaio. We must restore law and order and respect the men and women of our police forces. I thank him for his support of my policies and candidacy for President," Trump said in a statement published by the Times.
In another statement published by the newspaper, Arpaio praised Trump as a "leader" who "produces results and is ready to get tough in order to protect American jobs and families."
"I have fought on the front lines to prevent illegal immigration and I know Donald Trump will stand with me, and countless Americans, to secure our border. I am proud to support him as the best candidate for President of the United States of America," he added.
The sheriff challenged President Obama's executive actions on immigrations, but the Supreme Court recently rejected his appeal to hear his case.
The endorsement comes on the heels of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsing Trump last week and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., endorsing him earlier Tuesday.
Great!!
From your mouth to God’s ears...
lol. You have got to be kidding. What a bold faced lie.
Trump 2016!
Joe is an old loudmouth.
I know people like him, but if you ever watched a long interview with the guy he is incapable of “discussion”. He lectures.
Who the hell wants to listen to that crap every day?
Good to hear. I sure hope she wins!
Thanks for a local update! I love Sherriff Joe and think a lot of others do as well, but it’s nice to have someone locally weigh in.
link? source of truth?
My search showed he endorsed her for attny general but he did not endorse her for governor.
please post truth.
You are just mad because you know the Sheriff is an expert at spotting illegals, which means he took one look at Ted Cruz and concluded he swam the river from Canada and is thus a WetCanuck.
In the late 1800s, a couple of Scottish Canadians apparently came across the border and gave birth to the father of my dad. My other native relatives here called them moss backs. The former Cannucks were experts in dodging paperwork and any census. Their son, my fathers Dad was also very good at that game.
That would be really good for America!
From your keyboard to God's in-box.
"Moss backs"! That's glorious!
The purist do not care about winning. Which is why they lose all national & state wide elections.
Well there it is, now I’ll vote for Him early and often!!!
:-)
Go Kelli Ward! McCain is the classic Manchurian candidate.
No more wisdom of Meghan McCain? What ever shall we do?
sobbing
Oooooh, dot's a good one. Mind if I steal it?
"Napolitano became a rising star in the Democratic Party when she became governor of Arizona in 2002. She narrowly defeated Republican Matt Salmon, a former congressman, giving Arizona (and the United States) the first ever back-to-back female governors of a state (she succeeded Republican Jane Dee Hull). Her campaign was helped by Arpaio's endorsement and appearance in a television ad, and Napolitano continued her hands-off policy towards the sheriff's controversial ways while she served as governor."
