FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz. — In a memorabilia-packed office that could serve as a museum to his career, Joe Arpaio plots about how he might, at the age of 87, get back his old job as the sheriff of metro Phoenix.
He also vows to bring back the things that garnered notoriety during his 24 years as Maricopa County's top law enforcer: immigration crackdowns, a complex of jail tents and other now-discarded trademarks that courts have deemed illegal or his successor has done away with. "He'll have a little base within the Republican Party, but I suspect there is reticence that might pull him down," said pollster Mike O'Neil, a longtime Arizona pollster who has followed Arpaio's career."Whenever Joe calls me, he says, 'Tom, this is the sheriff,' said Payson Mayor Tom Morrissey, a retired chief U.S. marshal and a longtime Arpaio friend."He doesn't see himself as Joe. That's his identity: Being the sheriff," Morrissey said.
Ava Arpaio says she and her two children support his run for office. She says he has no hobbies and was never going to have a conventional retirement.Arpaio says he remains mentally sharp and in good health, though he takes medication for high blood pressure. Without the body guards who picked him up for work for years in a government-owned vehicle, Arpaio now drives a Cadillac to his personal office.
Arpaio, once a master at garnering publicity, acknowledges that he might not have appeared on the show if he still had the public relations staff while he was sheriff.In a recent Arizona Republic podcast, Arpaio said he would go to bars to court Hispanic voters. But in an interview days later with The Associated Press, Arpaio insisted that he never said he'd go to bars to appeal to Latinos.
We Want Sheriff Joe Back! 🙏☺🙏😁🙏😊🙏😌🙏
wsternks Throw this human rights abuser back in prison
Joe,find another way to make a living... I hear that target is looking for help !
maybe he could try a different line of crime 🤔
Jerky Joe never met a private prison he didn’t like.
JoeMustGo home or back to the “pokey” How can a man found guilty of a crime even run for office? RealSheriffJoe broke the law, was found guilty of defying court order, was sentenced to serve prison time Pardoned (you must plead guilty) by the most corrupt POTUS in history
Wrong!!
POS
Well, you can’t fix stupid.
He let the Taliban establish residency in Arizona. Now noone says anything. Trump even let them stay. That makes him guilty of Treason!
Its sad. I guess 50 years of practicing racism wasn't enough for him..
These old relics of America's hate know that their's still alot of that same evil spirit out here, that's why they're confident about running for public office.
He and Roy Moore together
Hahaha go away
Arrogant git.
Is it because he’s supposed to be in prison because he’s a criminal who violated people’s human rights? Is that why?
You're 87 Joe, just accept that your special brand of fuckery is no longer welcome and fade into the abyss like a good little octogenarian...
What is the law here? If he is elected again, commits the same crime, Trump is no longer president to pardon him, can he be convicted again?
Lock him up...
