Joe Arapaio Returns To Racist Birther Claims [VIDEO]

CNN reports:

Controversial former Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Wednesday called former President Barack Obama’s birth certificate a “phony document” in an interview on CNN. “No doubt about it, we have the evidence, I’m not going to go into all the details, yeah, it’s a phony document,” Arpaio said on “Cuomo Primetime.”

Arpaio announced Tuesday that he is running for the Arizona US Senate seat currently occupied by Sen. Jeff Flake, who is retiring from Congress at the end of his term. “We have the evidence, nobody will talk about it, nobody will look at it, and anytime you want to come down or anybody we’ll be glad to show you the evidence,” Arpaio said.

Sheriff Arpaio is doubling down on the Pres. Obama birther conspiracy, says on CNN “we have evidence.”

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Can you please endorse Joe Arpaio for Senate? That would really help Democrats. Thanks for your consideration. https://t.co/VcTYIprVL6
