Sheriff Joe Arpaio Endorses Nevada GOP Candidate Sharron Angle

Anti-Immigrant and corrupt Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has endorsed Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle.

The endorsement is old, however Arpaio's recently held campaign event for Angle comes at an awkward time, as the GOP candidate is currently trying to distance herself from some racially insensitive statements and advertisments that her campaign released which offended many Hispanics in Nevada.

Washington Post writer Greg Sargent has the full story on the endorsement here 

Sheriff Joe Arpaio rode back into town Tuesday, this time to fire up voters and to stump for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle in her bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Harry Reid.

But the polarizing sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., only briefly mentioned the GOP candidate during his 13-minute speech to a friendly crowd of Angle and Tea Party supporters at Stoney's Rockin' Country bar and dance hall on Las Vegas Boulevard South.

Bizzarely, during his speech Arpaio, repeatedly butchered Angle's name:

During that brief mention, the septuagenarian sheriff mispronounced Angle's last name, calling her what sounded like "Sharron Anglund."

A few people in the crowd tried to correct him, yelling out, "Angle! Angle!"

If Angle was at all serious about the Hispanic community in Nevada, she would probably not allow, a corrupt, anti-immigrant figure to campaign for her. Just a thought....
