Sheriff Joe Arpaio
A man who has been styled as “America’s toughest sheriff” for the pink underwear he’s handed out to inmates, who long has been at odds with the Obama administration over illegal aliens and more, has endorsed Donald Trump for president.
The announcement of the endorsement by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, was announced by the Trump campaign Tuesday afternoon.
Both Arpaio and Trump are leaders who are unafraid to state their case – especially on the important issue of illegal aliens in the United States. Arpaio was the first to sue Obama over his 2014 administration orders that another four or five million illegals be given a legal status in the United States.
And when he announced his campaign, Trump took on Obama’s open borders policy by calling for a crackdown on the number of illegal aliens allowed into the country, and allowed to remain.
Trump said, “I have great respect for Sheriff Arpaio. We must restore law and order on the border and respect the men and women of our police forces. I thank him for his support of my policies and candidacy for president.”
Arpaio said: “Donald Trump is a leader. He produces results and is ready to get tough in order to protect American jobs and families. I have fought on the front lines to prevent illegal immigration.
“I know Donald Trump will stand with me and countless Americans to secure our border. I am proud to support him as the best candidate for president of the United States of America.”
Trump has visited Arizona twice since announcing his campaign in June and Arpaio has been at those rallies.
The announcement from the Trump camp came only hours after another significant endorsement was announced, that of Jerry Falwell Jr.
The endorsement from the president of Liberty University was personal and not on behalf of the university. But he said he saw parallels between Trump and his late father.
“Like Mr. Trump, dad would speak his mind. … Dad explained that when he walked into the voting booth, he wasn’t electing a Sunday school teacher, or a pastor, or even a president who shared his theological beliefs. He was electing a president of the United States to lead a nation.”
Arpaio has been at odds with the Obama administration since Obama’s presidency began, mostly over issues involving illegal aliens. He sued over Obama’s administration orders because of the impact the illegals have on the safety and security of his county’s residents. Federal officials, in turn, have accused of not treating illegals properly.
A split panel of federal judges said Arpaio didn’t have standing to sue, with the minority report expressing outrage that the sheriff of one of the nation’s largest counties, on the border with Mexico, concerned about his residents, would be thrown aside by federal precedent.
Arpaio has been sheriff since 1992, and is seeking re-election now.
Online, his posts his philosophy for law enforcement as, “The public is my boss, so I serve the public.”
His unique approach to law enforcement has not only earned him repeated election victories from his constituents, it’s earned him a reputation.
For example, he established chain gangs for inmates to contribute thousands of dollars of free labor to communities, painting over graffiti and cleaning streets.
He banned smoking, coffee, movies, pornographic magazines and unrestricted TV in jails. His costs per meal for inmates run between 15 cents and 40 cents. He provided pink underwear for inmates to wear, after learning that inmates were stealing white jailhouse boxers.
He’s also posted mugshots of all those arrested online to act as a deterrent.
He’s also been behind the only official law enforcement investigation of Barack Obama’s antecedents – specifically whether he qualified to be president under the Constitution’s requirement that a president be a “natural born citizen.”
Sticking to the evidence, Arpaio announced that the birth certificate Obama presented at the White House as an official government document almost certainly is a forgery.
He endorsement was facilitated Pastor Carl Gallups, a popular author and radio host who recently found himself giving the opening invocation at a massive Donald Trump rally in Pensacola, Florida.
“He loves this nation and its heritage,” Gallups, who has not officially endorsed any candidate, told WND. “He’s the anti-Obama, he’s the opposite of Obama. And he’s commander in chief material, he has that kind of presence, and he’d be tough on our enemies.”
After an unexpected invitation by the event organizers, Gallups addressed a standing room only crowd of more than 10,000 at the Pensacola Bay Center. In what has become a typical phenomenon at Trump rallies, thousands had to be turned away because they simply could not fit into the arena.
Gallups, the author of several books including “Final Warning: Understanding the Trumpet Days of Revelation,” called for God to show his mercy on a nation which has turned its back on Him.
“We humbly ask as Abraham asked,” Gallups prayed. “Lord, if there is a percentage who still revere your name and your word, would you heal this land, would you bless this land? We ask for this healing Lord, not for our comfort or our prosperity, but for the glory of your name. Because we agree with your word – blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
He told WND he had been in touch with Mike Zullo, a member of Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse investigating the Obama birth certificate, and as a result met recently with Arpaio.
Arpaio asked him, because of his appearance at the Trump rally, whether he had contacts in the campaign who could be counseled that a request from Trump for an endorsement would be met with a positive response.
Gallups told WND there are two things the sheriff authorized him to speak about publicly, one that he remains immersed in the Obama fraud investigation and further investigation results are looming, and he was ready to give his endorsement to Trump.
