Joe Arpaio in 2007: "It's an HONOR to be compared to KKK"

This was a now-convicted criminal who was accused of pursuing racist policies and was compared to the KKK. His response? It was an honor to be compared to a violent racist organization.

And to reward this outrageous behavior and rhetoric, the president has pardoned him before he was even sentenced. Welcome to our new land of law and order, making America Great Again.

And here is a reporter asking him if he is a racist. His response? I don't talk about my personal life...

The part of that interview that needs to be seen is the question where the reporter asks him why he does not push to prosecute the employers of illegals as the law provides for and he quickly brushes it off saying he wants to put the workers in jail.

I have always felt that if you fined the employer a hefty fine like $10K per day per worker , the problem of illegal immigration would quickly solve itself. Offer a 20% bounty to anybody who turns in an employer hiring illegal workers and there will not be enough district attorneys to prosecute the cases and collect the money.

Well I'm glad we don't have debate and make excuses to the fact he's a Racist anymore.

Severely edited videos like that were meant to capture the attention of those who are already convinced and not inclined to be skeptical.

Boy, could you be any more dishonest?? The first clip is 11 seconds and provides no context whatsoever. And the second one he basically said he is under no obligation to respond to every stupid accusation. Just curious, but does this sort of dishonesty stem from Trump hatred or was that dishonesty always there?
