Sheriff Joe’s got Trump’s back ‘I thought we have freedom of speech in this country’ July 2, 2015
In a radio interview recorded Thursday, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio backed up some of Donald Trump’s remarks about illegal immigrants while defending the real estate moguls’ “right to voice his opinion.”
Arpaio stated, “There’s no lie about the drugs coming from Mexico.”
“Everybody knows that,” he said. “I talk about it all the time. The majority of the drugs coming into my county, they are from Mexico. So that’s a true statement.”
Arpaio further asserted his belief that Trump did not mean “to say anything derogatory about all the great people from Mexico.”
The outspoken sheriff said it was “amusing to see all the heat because [Trump] made a few statements.”
“And I presume he is not going to back down. I would imagine he is going to continue to voice his opinion,” Arpaio said.
The famous sheriff was being interviewed for “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” broadcast on New York’s AM 970 The Answer and Philadelphia’s NewsTalk 990 AM.
The full interview will air on Klein’s Sunday night Independence weekend broadcast. WND obtained an advanced copy of the audio.
