Joe Arpaio Does Interview With Holocaust Denial Site

Media Matters reports:

Joe Arpaio, the racist Arizona sheriff who was recently pardoned by President Donald Trump, gave another interview to an anti-Semitic publication that has repeatedly pushed claims that the Holocaust is a “hoax.”

American Free Press published a September 15 piece by roving editor Mark Anderson stating that it “recently” interviewed Arpaio to combat “the false narrative that Arpaio had engaged in ‘racial profiling’ when his deputies apprehended illegal alien suspects.” The piece shared details from their conversation, including regarding Arpaio’s false campaign claiming former President Barack Obama’s birth certificate is fake.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has described American Free Press as “an anti-Semitic conspiracy-oriented news­pa­per” that attracts “the most vit­ri­olic anti-Semites.” The New York Times wrote that the late Willis Carto, who helped found the publication, “used lobbying and publishing to denigrate Jews and other minorities and galvanize the movement to deny the Holocaust.”

The site is currently selling a book titled The Holocaust Never Happened & The CIA Killed JFK. Below are some of their recent headlines.
