Joe Arpaio, an 87-year-old racist and convicted criminal who was spared up to six months in jail after being pardoned by another racist and not-convicted-just-because-he’s-president criminal, has announced in a tweet that he’s running for “re-election” to a seat he lost in 2016 to Democratic candidate Paul Penzone.
Basically, racist Joe is promising a return to the **** that helped him lose that seat in the first place. “When he is back in office,” a statement from his campaign claimed, “Sheriff Arpaio will re-open Tent City Jail and bring back his popular jail policies, reinstitute the Posse to its former strength and continue to enforce all Arizona laws that deal with drug trafficking, sex trafficking and other crimes associated with the border and illegal immigration.”
