The Marietta Daily Journal – Border war Arpaio says yes to Barr King says no

Barr has a major, $100-a-couple campaign fundraiser set for Feb. 6 at Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna. The star attraction will be Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., the self-styled “America’s Toughest Sheriff.”

He got that nickname by doing such things as using chain gangs as a source of free labor for local communities in his county and for making inmates in his jail wear pink underwear and pink handcuffs. Arpaio also was a strong supporter of Arizona’s controversial immigration law and is currently being investigated by the U.S. Justice Department for alleged racial-profiling.

Barr features an endorsement from Arpaio on his website: “Bob stood strong for our Second Amendment rights, for tax reform, for individual liberty, for a balanced budget and, perhaps most important, against Bill Clinton. We need that toughness in Washington now more than ever. I know Bob personally and have worked with him. He will deliver; he has before and he will again.”
