Lopez’s attack on Arapio was part of the comedian’s “It’s not me, it’s you” standup comedy show on HBO Saturday night. The rant came after Lopez joked that Mitt Romney is Latino but won’t admit it. Lopez’s comments regarding Arpaio last for about two minutes and included profanities in English and Spanish to a cheering crowd.
“Sheriff Joe in Arizona, **** you!” Lopez said during the show.
Arpaio, 80, is known for his outspoken opinions on illegal immigration and his investigation into President Obama’s eligibility to be president
“I was surprised at the language. It was pretty nasty,” Arpaio told ABC affiliate KNXV.
