If you don’t remember Joe Arpaio, you’re lucky. He is the former racist and brutal Sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona who was pardoned by the leader of white supremacy in America, Donald John Trump.

For decades Arpaio tortured and killed Hispanic inmates in his charge. He persecuted any man or woman who was not pure white. Trump shares his hatred for brown-skinned men, women, and children, and no one was surprised when he prevented the octogenarian from spending most of the remainder of his life in prison.

“I’m a little weak with the Hispanic community,” former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told the Arizona Republic. The racist and convicted criminal recently announced that he’s running to recapture the seat he lost to Democratic Sheriff Paul Penzone in 2016, and said he wants to win over the same Latinos he terrorized when he was in office, saying, “I have a soft spot for the Hispanics.” When asked how he’ll try to win them over, he replied, “I don’t know. I may want a nice Mexican dinner. You think I’m gonna go to Taco Bell? I’m gonna go where the good Mexican restaurants are.”

I find hatred not only the worst of all emotions, it is also ignorant; displaying a lack of intelligence. However, it’s difficult not to feel that way about Arpaio. He claimed that Hispanics were the source of all crime and depravity in Arizona for decades. He violated their human rights without remorse. Now he is asking for their votes! I can’t make this shit up.

If there is any man in America who is worse than Donald John Trump it is Arpaio. He crawled out of the slime at the bottom of a swamp 80+ years ago. He is not human and should not be allowed to live in America.

The truth is you can be judged by the ‘company you keep.’ Trump chooses to surround himself with the worst people in the world. Vladimir Putin, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, Kim Jong-un, and others including Joe Arpaio are his chosen circle of sinners.

I am ashamed that Trump is allowed to wear the title of President of the United States. He is a disgrace to a once revered office.

Tell everyone, “the truth lives here.”
