Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s tenure was marked by aggressive, discriminatory policies targeting migrants and their families in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2017, Donald Trump pardoned him on a count of criminal contempt of federal court associated with his unrelenting pursuit of racial and ethnic profiling as a law enforcement policy.
Yet he was warm and friendly to a certain group in a recent address he gave over “celebrity” video app service Cameo. In the video, Arpaio kindly begins, “Hey, good luck organizing the Arizona Furry convention.” “Which is for animal lovers,” he explains. Well, yes, kind of!
Did Arpaio know that Furries are not just animal lovers per se, but people who get together and dress up in elaborate full-body costumes as hyper-anthropomorphized animals, with fully realized, humanlike animal identities? Unclear. In his Cameo, which cost $30.99, Arpaio pronounced furry like “fury,” indicating he might not have known what he was talking about. Though he did go on to say what his furry identity would be: “As far as what animal I would like to be,” Arpaio mused, “I’m kind of partial to dogs.”
