Ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was pardoned by President Trump for a federal contempt-of-court conviction, wants his old job back.
Arpaio reveled in his reputation as America's toughest sheriff, which led him to be the target of several civil rights lawsuits. He boasted that:He fed inmates only twice a day with a bland log called"Nutraloaf," which other prisons serve as a disciplinary measure.
He subjected inmates to an in-house radio station that played patriotic music and opera for 20 hours a week. He called the station KJOE. In 2008 and 2010, a federal judge ruled that Arpaio's jails violated the constitutional rights of inmates when it came to medical care.
"When Joe Arpaio talks about 'those who break the law,' he should be referring to himself," Soler said, adding:"President Trump might've pardoned him, but those who had families and communities destroyed by his unlawful tactics have not." In his announcement Sunday, Arpaio lamented that"the last four years have proven to be a time of lost opportunities to continue the kind of tough policing this county needs."Thousands want me to run for Sheriff. Today Aug 25 announcing run for Sheriff Important day for me. Wife's Birthday & Pres Trump Pardoned me. Ready for bruising, bitter campaign. Never back down.
