NYGBC: Joe Arpaio, the Worst Sheriff in America

This week, we kick off a mini-series within the lunatic fringe on the right’s anti-immigrant activity and racism with a review of one of the right’s most heralded racist murderers, Joe Arpaio. Over 24 years as the Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio caused and covered up the murder or abuse of numerous inmates, engaged in racial profiling, pushed conspiracy theories about Obama’s birth certificate, and engaged in human rights violations so extensive the UN should have sent troops to Arizona.

Joe Arpaio belongs in prison.

Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!
