Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Arpaio, voice of moderation and reason.

Trump, when Joe Arpaio seems less extreme than you do, you have a major problem.

jcblues · September 10, 2015, 1:39pm

yeah… Arpaio voice of reason… No, Not All Mexican Immigrants Are 'Rapists And Murderers…

we just prefer to treat them that way in Maricopa County…

Damnit Caitlin, I can’t cope with Arpaio being right about something. My brain hurts. Did I make you angry? I sincerely apologize.

I need to go find an article about Sheriff Joe’s investigation into Obama’s birth certificate. Just to calm down.

two politicians who make their name by appealing to the worst traits in the worst people.

Maybe Trump could hire Arpaio as his Hispanic outreach director.

Fuckin’ RINO… /wank

“I agree with him on one aspect, that we do have rapists and murderers coming across the border, but not everybody,” Arpaio told Ramos.

Arpaio wasn’t paying attention. Trump did say “…a few, I suppose, are good people.”

See? Trump didn’t criticize all of them.

“Just the ones that eat tortillas, if you know what I mean.”

It’s amazing how having a Justice Department investigator sleeping in your living room affects your views on various issues.

azjude · September 10, 2015, 2:31pm

Oh crap!

If you are to the right of sheriff joe, you are off the right-wing-bat-crap-crazy-clif.

chris_gautreau · September 10, 2015, 2:48pm

sounds like a certain Arizona sheriff has learned that he got his nuts handed to him by the judicial branch of government.

dv01 · September 10, 2015, 3:16pm

Or a major opportunity!!

pshah · September 10, 2015, 3:20pm

This is like Cheney telling someone to just stop it with the crazy war talk.

darrtown · September 10, 2015, 3:33pm

It’s depressing to me to think this “sheriff” represents the state where I live to so many folks.

trnc · September 10, 2015, 4:02pm

Gift certificate? To Chipotles? Taco Bell? Qdoba? Hmm, I’m starting to see now why the anti-Dreamers are so upset.

ottnott · September 10, 2015, 4:43pm

I don’t think the majority of people from Mexico are rapists and murderers.

Oh, Joe, you were sooo close. If you hadn’t hedged with the “think”, you could have taken your first baby step toward being a decent human and acknowledged that less than 50% of people from Mexico are rapists and murderers.

Was that too much to expect at this point in his life?

phlebas · September 10, 2015, 4:45pm

HA! Serves me right for posting here and shopping for a friend’s birthday at the same time.

“Some of my best friends are rap-Meskins!”
