Joe Arpaio: Obama's birth certificate is a 'phony document'

Controversial former Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Wednesday called former President Barack Obama's birth certificate a "phony document" in an interview on CNN.

"No doubt about it, we have the evidence, I'm not going to go into all the details, yeah, it's a phony document," Arpaio said on "Cuomo Primetime."

Arpaio announced Tuesday that he is running for the Arizona US Senate seat currently occupied by Sen. Jeff Flake, who is retiring from Congress at the end of his term.

He was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump during the campaign, and was pardoned by the President in August. The former Maricopa County sheriff was convicted for defying a court order to stop racially profiling Latinos, and he has been widely criticized for his hard-line stances on immigration.

Arpaio has touted "birtherism" in the past, and, when speaking to CNN's Chris Cuomo on Wednesday evening, said he has proof that Obama's birth certificate is fake.

"We have the evidence, nobody will talk about it, nobody will look at it, and anytime you want to come down or anybody we'll be glad to show you the evidence," Arpaio said.

Cuomo pressed Arpaio again on the topic: "So you believe that President Obama's birth certificate is a phony?"

"No doubt about it," Arpaio said.

He’s Roy Moore without the brains and girls. He could cost us the Senate in a year we should, and must, make gains.

Obama’s birth certificate may be phony, but its time to move on. Obama isn’t president any more and talking about it in a Senate campaign is useless.

This is the same kind of well-intentioned stupidity that GW Bush practiced. 2001 was the exact right time to begin to investigate all of the Clinton cover-ups. I’m not talking about the impeachment - BTW, Clinton was impeached, just not removed from office.
I am talking about all the graft and pay-for-play, the Haiti earthquake frauds, etc. It was like GW Bush was the Clinton’s magic cloak that protected them from the legitimate consequences of many of their evil deeds.
One could almost say correctly that Benghazi was GW Bush’s fault - it is reasonable to believe that he could have taken steps that would have prevented HRC from ever being able to hold a position in US Gov’t again. HRC should have never been made Secretary of State, and a lot of people died because she was (IMO).
Isn’t the job of the President all about protecting the nation, the Constitution and the citizenry?

[Brown Deer]

Dead issue? Where have you been? It’s a proven FORGERY!

"We have the evidence, nobody will talk about it, nobody will look at it, and anytime you want to come down or anybody we'll be glad to show you the evidence," Arpaio said.

Why wait for someone to ask? If you have evidence then release it.

[Brown Deer]

Neither, it's you for sure, that is full of sh!t and maybe even lost your mind, but I'm not a psychiatrist.

[RitchieAprile]

so what?

the One is out of office and back to smoking doobs in his mancave and hanging with his peeps.

its a distraction and went nowhere when it mattered and will certainly go nowhere now.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

It’s no longer 2008. Having his BC on your political platform is stupid.

[Brown Deer]

You are a lost soul. Arpaio never brought up the subject, CNN did.

its a distraction and went nowhere when it mattered and will certainly go nowhere now.

and what makes you an authority on this subject?

[merkava]

obama-kenyan loser president and foreign illegal immigrant. Thats why he loves them.

[bkopto]

Thank you for the facts.

[SaveFerris]

Something is very, very wrong somewhere.

And it’s the most visible link of the damage done to this country in 2008-2016. You can bet they, whoever “they” are, are fully committed to concealing their crimes.

[DiogenesLamp]

If you liked Roy Moore you’re going to love Joe Arpaio.

Why? Because all the right people hate him?

[DiogenesLamp]

It may very well be fake, but that’s not a winning platform.

Absolutely agree with this assessment.

[DiogenesLamp]

I suspect the reason he is “wasting cycles” on this is probably because some liberal reporter, wanting to remind the liberal base of just how “extreme” he is, asked the question.

This.

[jjotto]

Fake BC is moot. The state of Hawaii stands by the information in it. That’s good enough for any court in America.

[RitchieAprile]

you are obviously not over this. my sympathies.

[Revel]

“why is he wasting cycles on this dead issue?”

Because he care about the Truth and Justice, Unlike You?

[DiogenesLamp]

We've already seen how this played out in the "courts". It pretty much proved that courts are as incompetent as we have always believed them to be.

[Future Useless Eater]

Most people in this thread are somewhat right.

The document shown was clearly phoney. I've seen Arpaio's evidence already. He is right. And thanks Butterdezillion for your excellent summaries.

But CNN wants to paint Arpaio as a senile crazy birther kook. So the MSM is not going to hear any "expert" evidence regarding that birth certificate.

If Arpaio wins the primary, and the liberal Fake News paints him a kook, Republicans might stay home and not vote in droves, like they stayed at home in Alabama.

To prevent this, I'd like to see our POTUS declare the Kapiolani Medical Center an historic place on the National Archives, asap, and simultaneously send U.S. Marshals there to "secure" the original hospital records for all future generations to come. Almost certainly that will lead to the Marshals and the National Archives having to report there were NO RECORDS of his birth at Kapiolani.
THAT WOULD open up a new firestorm, and then Arpaio would be vindicated.
