“What is he, the spokesman for the open border people?” Arpaio told KNXV. “See, I can be funny too. Now let’s see if he has the guts to meet me, and I’ll be happy to take him to a Mexican lunch.”
Lopez’s Arpaio tirade received mixed reviews from viewers.
“We in Maricopa County love Joe and we’ll be showing it in November … GO JOE!!!!!!” one viewer posted on Lopez’s Facebook page.
“You sure put a whipping on Mitt & Sheriff Joe last night. It was hilarious,” another posted.
Lopez isn’t the only person attacking Arpaio lately. Three maximum-security inmates were arrested July 11 for plotting to assassinate the sheriff, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
Additionally, a class action accusing Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office of racial profiling on the pretense of enforcing immigration laws is set to go to trial July 19, almost four years after it was filed.
Arpaio will release new information at a news conference Tuesday regarding Obama’s eligibility to be president. The information is part of a six-month on-going investigation of the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate by Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse.
Arpaio, who has been sheriff since 1993, is up for re-election in November. He will be running for his sixth term.
