Hero Sheriff Joe Arpaio is the Last Obama Birther

Joe Arpaio, the hero Arizona sheriff—”America’s toughest,” by his own reckoning, since he’s the kind of dude who gives himself nicknames—has a long list of heroic deeds that includes making prisoners wear women’s underwear, forcing them into tent cities that he calls “concentration camps,” ignoring sex crimes, founding a citizen’s posse to illegally arrest suspected undocumented immigrants, falsely arresting political opponents, racial profiling, and all other manner of impressive strongman feats.

But today, Arpaio has outdone himself. Just days after the coward Donald Trump publicly dropped his claim that Obama’s birth certificate was fake, thereby stepping down from the position of de facto head birther chieftain, Sheriff Joe has vowed to fight on.

“I don’t care where he’s from,” he said to a group that is hilariously called the “Surprise Tea Party Patriots,” per The Arizona Republic. “We are looking at a forged document. Period.”

That’s classic Joe! Here are some other fun things he had to say:

“I know all the politicians say, ‘Sheriff, don’t talk about it. But how can I back down when we started it? I’m not going to just forget it.”
