Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County is relishing the opportunity to host Donald Trump at a rally on his own turf Saturday — and serve as the muscle at the same time.
After taking a few days off from his long streak of attention-grabbing rallies, Trump is cranking back up this weekend, and has scheduled one of his events right in the backyard of the long-serving and controversial Arizona sheriff.
“Here I’m gonna be kinda wearing two hats — in charge of the security there in the town and also participating, I would imagine, with Trump in the rally, so it makes it interesting,” Arpaio said in an interview with POLITICO, adding that it “is going to be a lot of fun taking care of business there.”
Arpaio, who officially endorsed Trump back in January, said that he’s expecting protests at Saturday’s event. But the 83-year-old sheriff who has repeatedly been accused of racial profiling Hispanic residents says Trump’s clashes pale in comparison to his own.
“I’ve had demonstrations against me constantly,” he said. “He hasn’t had that many demonstrators compared to me.”

Actually, I think you meant to say “red commie doper diaper babies”. (Hat tip to Michael Savage)
Should be some fun videos of those who opt to disrupt....
What’s going to be interesting is to see, considering who is providing security, if anyone even shows up to protest. These protesters are for the most part looking for soft targets. Arpaio is NOT a soft target.
Arpaio has long been a controversial figure both in Arizona and nationally. The sheriff and his deputies were found to have violated the constitutional rights of Latinos in 2013, and in 2015 the federal ruling was mostly upheld. And he’s been sued multiple times. Since he took office in 1993, he’s cost taxpayers $142 million in legal expenses, settlements and court awards, according to the Arizona Republic.
Politico has a big disappointment:
Yet, the man who calls himself “America’s toughest sheriff” has been reelected six times and he’s going for number seven.
Hi Wendle, Thanks for the video link ....keep the light burning.
Yep - else those "protesters" blocking the roads would still be camped out...
