Say what you will about former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s politics. What can’t be denied is that the 85-year-old is tenacious. He intends to run for Senate in Arizona to replace retiring Jeff Flake.
Joe Arpaio running for Senate in Arizona
In a telephone interview with the Washington Examiner, Arpaio shrugged off concerns about his age, dismissed Republican insiders’ anxiety that his poor reputation with nonwhite voters would put the seat in play for the Democrats in the midterm, and discussed plans to work with Trump on behalf of Arizona.
“I have a lot to offer. I’m a big supporter of President Trump,” Arpaio said. “I’m going to have to work hard; you don’t take anything for granted. But I would not being doing this if I thought that I could not win. I’m not here to get my name in the paper, I get that everyday, anyway.”
Arpaio was pardoned by President Trump last year after ignoring a federal court order on racial profiling. He’s been a strong supporter of the President since the primaries.
The field to replace Flake is quickly becoming crowded with familiar names. Kelli Ward, who lost to Senator John McCain in the Republican primary for Senate in 2016, has been pushing to replace Flake since before his retirement. Representative Martha McSally is the Establishment’s choice and may be announcing her candidacy soon.
Arpaio is one of the most polarizing figures in American politics. His sharp stances on illegal aliens in a state rife with immigrants, both legal and illegal, have his supporters behind him 100% even as his detractors paint him as a racist. If he’s able to win the GOP nomination, it will make this the most interesting Senate race since Roy Moore lost to Doug Jones.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
