Ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was pardoned by Trump for a federal contempt-of-court conviction, wants his old job back

Arpaio reveled in his reputation as America's toughest sheriff, which led him to be the target of several civil rights lawsuits. He boasted that:He fed inmates only twice a day with a bland log called"Nutraloaf," which other prisons serve as a disciplinary measure.

He subjected inmates to an in-house radio station that played patriotic music and opera for 20 hours a week. He called the station KJOE. In 2008 and 2010, a federal judge ruled that Arpaio's jails violated the constitutional rights of inmates when it came to medical care.

He certainly doesn’t need a position like that. Should have never been pardoned in the first place because he’s a criminal

lotusblossum163 I just bet that sob does! Well, Talladega AL re-elected a mayor who’d been in prison for embezzlement while he was mayor during his tenure. 🙄🙄🙄

Yes potus please give him his job back. He is awesome. Plus that would piss the Dems 😂🤣😂🤣

I hope Voters are smarter than than. This took the nerve of a crook. Someone who has no respect for the law.

Pardon means he was a convicted felon

Big test for the people of Arizona...

You've got to be kidding !!!

This is what an entitled bigot looks like. Send him to the same jail as Manafort

Please voters don't go back to this man.

This is an example of how not completing a rehabilitation process putts dangerous criminals right back to there old behavior.

Convict?

NO!

He needs to go away

How stupid, mean and cruel are Arizonans to allow him to be sherriff again?

Good

Nope.

Shouldn’t he be in jail?

Yes and he can hire more deputies to molest the children

Not running for senate again..

He's STILL.alivehwmnylx

BamjcastA No way!

He is a nonsense free cop he was great.

Oh my god MiguelRodrigu7 🤦🏼‍♀️

What better than to have a criminal as Gun toting sheriiff. Watch out coloured people, the black hat baddy will be after you.

Pinche viejo verguero

He has all qualifications needed, old, white and Trumps friend.

We already know GOP is full of frauds, cheats, con men, thieves, convicts, liars, and on, and on... This one and realDonaldTrump are perfect examples.

An officer of the law, who doesn’t uphold it, should not be working in law enforcement. There are already too many bad cops on the job, at it is.

Make Arizona Great Again MAGAJOE

Hope AZ voters are smarter than that now. The man is a racist against brown, black and Native people

plz.

Creepy

No!

Go ahead try! Looking forward to the outcome!

Retire

Don't worry, fellow Americans. This Arizonian votes against white supremacists. He doesn't have my vote 🤘🏼

Nope

He must have dementia.

He obviously has no remorse about his crimes. Pardon = Guilty

LOL

He ‘s 87 yrs old! Too damn old and crotchety . No way Joe!

🤦🏼‍♀️🙄🥴🤨🧐

I hear Olive Garden is hiring, he can be the country’s toughest busser if he wants.

He needs to go away.

This is a guy who didn't even realize that accepting the pardon is admitting and accepting his guilt. Skip to 4:20

Hope they kept up tent city. Pink was a nice touch too.

YAY! ElectJoeArpaio Sheriff

Oh hell naw...naw naw naw

Good news.

Hell No😝💥⚡🌩💣✊👊

HoodlumRIP No!🤡

This time, let the people decide.

GO SHERIFF JOE!!

This is what Haitians call: Gwen na bonda!

Gross

Just - no ....

No.

87 🤷🏼‍♂️

that old bag has a box waiting on him. LetItGoJoe

Oh I saw him trending and thought the bastard took ill

People that serve prison sentence can’t vote, but if you’re pardoned you can run for office. !!!!

Hope he doesn't get it.

Can’t make this shit up disgusted

Oh COOL! Who ELSE here is just ECSTATIC their SHERIFF is an actual, you-can-look-that-shit-up-you-know, Fed convicted CRIMINAL? Just cuz Dolt45 pardoned him, doesn't excuse/expunge conviction. Only restores some rights lost. I wouldn't hire CriminalArpaio to mow my lawn.

His jails & prison had the lowest recidivism rates, of course the Left doesn’t like him. Democrats created for profit prisons and make billions off incarceration. BringBackJoe

Too bad. He is a racist criminal who would be in jail if our racist president had not pardoned him.

All these cretins need to slink back to the hell holes they slithered out of. That truly won’t happen until trump is gone

Old deplorable!

Can convicted, self-confessed felons be sheriffs? 🤔

A true sheriff who actually enforced the law...welcome back.

To be honest, I’m surprised he hasn’t put ole Joe in charge of the detention cages!

How about giving him to Mexicans? I am sure he has a lot of fans in Mexico.

Sheriff Joe was very popular, don't count him out. It's going to come down to public perceptions of crime rates & recidivism. If Arapaio makes a convincing argument that crime is up since his departure & it's due to repeat offenders not deterred by current tactics he'll win.

easily one of the best. true patriot!

Maybe his relatives can put him in a nursing home for delusions of grandeur..

I hope the people have enough sense to put this man in a retirement home.

Oh hell no he needs to go to the nursing home his race is run by Joe.

Tell creepy Joe Arpaio that he can go to hell!

Saw he was trending and hoped he had joined David Koch.

Retirement

NO!😝

Objectively speaking, 87 year olds shouldn't be put in charge of anything.

TeamArpaio

No, and double fuck no.

No one in both parties nor sheriff department would want him back any way.

Racist joe ,NO!

I’ll vote for the guy, most people I know in Arizona will probably vote for him as well. He has a decent shot.

Blubber boy

So hoping Maricopa County has moved on from this.

sounds good to me

As a convicted felon, can he even vote

I would vote for him deport them all

In a dictionary that was more a 'pictionary' Joe Arpaio's picture would presently be displayed next to the word - pathetic.

Good for him...

Just say No, to joe

Either way I’m sure he’ll be invited to join Dancing with the Stars.

He used to male thr immigrants in his c as mps all wear pink underwear..... Weird Sick F-ck

Um no

No.

HoodlumRIP Joe didn't kill enough people in his custody?

It will send a message if he gets it. America hopes he does.

Joe Arpaio sets an example for political grifters everywhere. He’s not in the Trump-Clinton league, of course, but he’s a solid journeyman.

Arpaio is scum. Should have never been pardoned and should NEVER serve in public service ever again.

HoodlumRIP After what 'Sheriff Joe' cost Maricopa County, and the number of people who loathe him, even in that hellhole, Phoenix, there's no way they're voting this near 90 year old racist back in. By rights, he should be in prison.

he gets booed at all the city parades. He's always been an ass

'SHERIFF!!! Hurry, get your walker......there's an illegal jay-walking as we speak!!'

I doubt if the good people out there in Arizona are going to buy into it.

He’s not dead yet?

He’s 87 YEARS OLD. WHY ISNT THAT FACT IN YOUR HEADLINE

Isn’t he 90? 🤔

Love me some sheriff joe the guy gets what this country stands for. Good luck sir!

Dear Gosh send this ‘good ole boy’ to pasture already 🙄

Serious question: can someone be un-pardoned?

Drop dead grandpa -

Like a NYC cockroach, he just won’t go away.

Republicans welcome him

Surprised trump hasn't appointed him to an acting position in DHS/Immigration

All I’m saying, he needs to be gone

He should run for America's got Xenophobes. He is the worst.

Hell no.

Just retire and fade away please...

Go home Joe you're drunk ✌

I thought he was dead.

No.

Call him out correctly PARDONED FELON Joe Arpaio

Daduq is it with this country and delusional old men?

NJLefty67 LOCK. HIM. UP.

He should run back into prison lol

FakeNews

Does he want his jail cell back?

The balls on that guy...wow. uselesssystem

NO JOE NOT TODAY 😂

NO! Absolutely not.

Hmmmmm, a sheriff with no respect for the law. What could possibly go wrong.

Go home and watch netflix and chill.

Why wont he just go away?!

Ha! And I want a size 6 waist but that’s not going to happen either. FuckOffArpaio

Why

And he might have a chance. The political world is crazy

More Trump hate! Good times!!

He should be in jail.

Omg

Someone put this old man to sleep already

fuuck no

Arizona

Please Lord say it ain't so

He also bragged that he would win the Senate race in Arizona, but he ended up a forgotten third in the GOP primary.

He will probably be supported by Trump. If not able to become sheriff again, Trump will probably make him an advisor of some kind.

McSally was not elected. She lost and then was appointed to the other Senate seat.

Libtard heads would swell LOL

Go home, Joe. You're drunk.

At 80-freakin-seven years old, he needs to retire and ride into the sunset. The end.

- hey guys! Just FYI, SenMcSallyAZ LOST in November to SenatorSinema and had to be appointed the job, even though dougducey had already appointed Jon Kyl. But she lost and lost bad in Maricopa County. :)

Next Director of the FBI.

Go Joe all our support

😡😡😡😡😡

We the People of Maricopa County cannot let him be Sheriff ever again!!!

Maybe he could just drop dead damn he's almost 100 years old.

Nope

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 that it doesn’t happen

Point and laugh.

Get a grip. He has zero to offer anybody in any city... he's Deplorable.

Gotta pay the bills…

Mr. Arpaio my advice to you and it's FREE, go quietly into the long goodnight and get some rest.. Give up your obsession with POWER...

OMG , The crazies keep coming out of the woodwork

We want the constitution back.

Give him his job back!

Has anyone explained to him that his acceptance of the pardon is basically an admission of guilt? Shouldn't that essentially disqualify him from running for that office again? If not, Arizona better fix that law quick.

How is this old racist demon not in jail?

Nope!

Nothing doing, sheriff. You do the crime, you do the time. :P
