Far-right former sheriff Joe Arpaio would accept a blowjob from Donald Trump
Arpaio made the comments during an appearance on Sacha Baron Cohen's "Who Is America?"
Far-right former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio would apparently welcome oral sex from Donald Trump.
Arpaio, who was pardoned by Trump in 2017 after being convicted of criminal contempt of court for racially profiling Latinos, made the comments during an appearance on the fourth episode of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Who Is America?
Cohen introduced a new character, Finnish YouTuber OMGWhizzBoyOMG, who hosted Arpaio on his chat show.
Near the end of their interview, Cohen asked, “If Donald Trump calls you up after this and says, Sheriff Joe, I want to offer you an amazing blow job, would you say yes?”
Arpaio responded: “I may have to say yes.”
His comment came after a number of notable moments during the segment, including Arpaio telling a doughnut about the positives of gun ownership, and Cohen’s character saying he had stockpiled guns to prepare for the “upcoming race war” — a comment that led Arpaio to respond that Trump would be a fan of Cohen’s character’s ideas.
Watch the segment below:
Arpaio, 86, gained notoriety as sheriff of Maricopa County for overseeing what the Department of Justice concluded was the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history.
In 2017, he was found guilty of criminal contempt for violating a federal injunction in a case where he had been accused of racially profiling and detaining Latinos in an effort to round up and deport immigrants who were in the country illegally. He was soon pardoned by Trump, for whom he had actively campaigned during the 2016 election.
In addition to their views on illegal immigration, Arpaio and Trump share another far-right belief: that President Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen, and that his birth certificate is forged. Arpaio continues to cite this conspiracy theory, despite a lack of any evidence.
During Trump’s pardon of Arpaio, Trump attempted to justify his decision by pointing to previous pardons, including that of Chelsea Manning. In addition to misgendering her, Trump also mistakenly believed that Manning had been pardoned, when her sentence had instead been commuted by President Obama.
