http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/donald-trump-joe-arpaio-sheriff-arizona-220980
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County is relishing the opportunity to host Donald Trump at a rally on his own turf Saturday and serve as the muscle at the same time.
After taking a few days off from his long streak of attention-grabbing rallies, Trump is cranking back up this weekend, and has scheduled one of his events right in the backyard of the long-serving and controversial Arizona sheriff.
Here Im gonna be kinda wearing two hats in charge of the security there in the town and also participating, I would imagine, with Trump in the rally, so it makes it interesting, Arpaio said in an interview with POLITICO, adding that it is going to be a lot of fun taking care of business there.
Arpaio, who officially endorsed Trump back in January, said that hes expecting protests at Saturdays event. But the 83-year-old sheriff who has repeatedly been accused of racial profiling Hispanic residents says Trumps clashes pale in comparison to his own.
