Donald Trump's new image consultant, Maricopa County Sherriff Joe Arpaio
Donald Trump may be
pushing the GOP establishment to the brink, but two high-profile conservative Americans are totally
on board with him: Arizona's own Sherriff Joe Arpaio and former Gov. Jan Brewer.
“I believe that Mr. Trump is kind of telling it like it really, truly is,” Brewer told CNN Wednesday. “You know, being the Governor, the gateway of illegal immigration for six years, we had to deal with a lot of things.”
Meanwhile Arpaio has been running
damage control for Trump.
“There’s no lie about the drugs coming from Mexico.”
“Everybody knows that,” he said. “I talk about it all the time. The majority of the drugs coming into my county, they are from Mexico. So that’s a true statement.”
Arpaio further asserted his belief that Trump did not mean “to say anything derogatory about all the great people from Mexico.”
Well, that was easy. Arpaio really took the sting out of it, don't ya think?
Trump's going to be building on the work of his two goodwill ambassadors in Arizona this weekend. He's got it on good authority that he's super popular there.
“Somebody said I’m the most popular person in Arizona because of my stance, and I’m going to be there this weekend.”
Expect fireworks.
