Sheriff Joe heads to Iowa to endorse Trump

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.

It's been said at Free Republic when anyone questions the genuine sincerity of Donald Trump's Christian faith ...

Let God Judge"

But if "I" were allowed to ask the (now cowardly no-show) Donald Trump at this coming Thursday Night GOP Debate ...

one single question, it would be this:

Mr. Donald Trump, regarding the New York Christian Couple fined $ 13,000 and ordered to ATTEND A FORCED RE-EDUCATION CAMP to sensitize them to ACCEPT HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE ...

Would you, as President of the United States ...

1) Issue a Presidential Pardon for this Christian Couple

and ...

2) DEMAND from the Presidential "Bully Pulpit" the IMPEACHMENT of the NEW YORK VALUES judge who issued the order against this Christian couple ?

Is God the ultimate Judge ? Absolutely.

But if a so-called Christian can't risk his life-career-business on a Spiritual Omaha Beach ...

he or she's not worth a damn !

Personally, I do indeed hope that Donald Trump rescinds his cowardly decision to HIDE from the Thursday FOX News debate ...

and offers a Presidential Pardon in his "debate opening remarks".

It's the spiritual opportunity of a lifetime.

Now, I guess we'll see 150 posts by the Trump Kamakazee Corps defending New York Values ...

and New York Gestapo Re-Education Camps for Christians.
