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.
The hit HBO Max series Heated Rivalry is drawing more online search interest than many real-life NHL stars, underscoring the show’s breakout popularity beyond traditional hockey audiences.
According to Cyd Zeigler of Outsports, Google Trends data from the past 30 days reveals that searches for the show’s fictional romantic leads, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, consistently outpaced searches for several prominent NHL players throughout most of December.
More strikingly, searches for "Heated Rivalry" briefly surpassed searches for "NHL" itself in late December, coinciding with the release of the Season 1 finale.
The year's nearly out. Sometimes that calls for taking sweet stock of the past months' wonderful events. Coming to the end of 2025, on the other hand, is more like getting to that denouement in the action movie where the survivors take a breath and pat each other on the back for having made it out alive. At this stage, we are Newt getting tucked-in to her Sulaco hibernation tube.
With some effort and a pinch of luck, may we all fare better in 2026 than poor Newt's end at the start of Alien 3.
Why such a shitty year? So much of it, obviously, can be laid at the feet of Lame Duck Donald. Not that he hasn't had loads of assistance in his evil efforts to erase our transgender family and friends, colleagues, and leaders during 2025. The purge, as promised, began right out of the gate on Inauguration Day.
A masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a queer woman in Minneapolis after opening fire through the window of her SUV during a confrontation in the street.
Video footage posted online shows two masked ICE officers approaching a Honda Pilot stopped in the middle of Portland Avenue near 34th Street in Minneapolis' Powderhorn neighborhood. One agent can be heard yelling at the SUV's driver -- later identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good -- telling her to "get out of the fucking car" while attempting to open the driver's door, as a second officer stands back.
