Donald Trump’s favorite sheriff is still a birther: Joe Arpaio says 5-year investigation proves President Obama birth certificate fake

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio lost his bid for re-election, but won't give up his birther campaign

For five years, Arpaio has been peddling the false birther myth that elevated Trump to the White House. Ahead of the 2012 election, Arpaio dispatched a deputy and his volunteer posse to Hawaii as part of his so-called criminal investigation into Obama’s birth certificate.

“We feel that that document is a forgery,” Arpaio said when officials informed his team that the birth certificate released by the White House was authentic. “We’re trying to figure out who did it. That’s good police work.” The sheriff’s allegations made him the poster child of the birther movement,

In September, Arpaio told a Tea Party group that he was “not going to give up” on the matter of Obama’s citizenship after Trump reluctantly said that he finally believed Obama was born in the United States.

In a more than hour-long press conference carried live by local television stations, Arpaio and his lead investigator in the case, Mike Zullo, who heads a nonprofit called the Cold Case Posse, a group of volunteers, presented a short video called “Nine Points of Forgery,” in which an unnamed voice alleged various problems with Obama’s birth certificate. The major revelation centered on how the copy of Obama’s 1961 birth certificate supposedly matched up with another certificate, made 16 days later, by the same office.

“I have a 54-year old copy of a document that was 16 years ago,” Zullo exclaimed, alleging that a photo from the White House of the birth certificate was obviously altered.

“I really want that to sink in,” he said.

Zullo said that he “grilled” WorldNewsDaily’s Jerome Corsi for 16 hours to corroborate his investigation. “They are on to something,” he insisted.

1. Why?

Can't this guy retire and enjoy his golden years for once?

[DesertRat]

9. Arpaio was retired by the voters on Nov. 8

Hopefully we won't be hearing from him again after the new Sheriff takes over.

2. I'd call them a bunch of Bozos

But that would be an insult to Bozo!

[Liberal In Texas]

3. Corsi is a nutcase frequently used by Alex Jones

to "legitimize" his wild conspiracy theories.

These people are all just crazy which unfortunately we're going to hear more from in the next 4 years.

7. CORSI: the a-hole who wrote the SwiftBots book; & pal of George NOORI (Art BELL wannabe)

4. What a jackass.

These rightwing clowns are so stubbornly stupid.

[gvstn]

6. A jackass for sure.

From his days of feeding prisoners stale bologna in 100+ degree heat in tents, to making them wear pink underwear (as if that was the worst humiliation in the world). Homophobic, xenophobic and other types of hateful. A jackass.

[Gothmog]

5. No one is paying attention to Sheriff Joe

He is a senile old man who was voted out of office

[UTUSN]

8. Besides the wingnut language deficiency, there's some synapse popping going on:

What do these language constructs mean? "copy of a document that was 16 years ago"??????? ZULLO grilled CORSI to corroborate "his" (whose, ZULLO's or CORSI's?)??????? "They" are on to something, WHO?????????

Besides those odd things, other video clips of the event said ARPAIO-ZULLO aren't disputing OBAMA's citizenship, just whatever particular document. Huh?!1
