"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.
He was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump during the campaign, and was pardoned by the President in August. The former Maricopa County sheriff was convicted for defying a court order to stop racially profiling Latinos, and he has been widely criticized for his hard-line stances on immigration.
Arpaio has touted "birtherism" in the past, and, when speaking to CNN's Chris Cuomo on Wednesday evening, said he has proof that Obama's birth certificate is fake.

(32,016 posts)Arpaio, who is part of the AZ GOP establishment, is running to split the conservative vote in the GOP primary and allow the establishment candidate, Congresswoman McSally, to win against state senator Kelly Ward. McSally will do much better in the general election than Ward.
The exact same thing was done in the AZ GOP Senate primary in 2016 when McCain was threatened by Ward and it worked.

(46,328 posts)He knows that the entire conspiracy theory has completely collapsed, but rather than admit to being 100% wrong, and a total asshole, he's doubling down on it.
Jerome Corsi is still advocating this, since he makes a lot of money doing so.
Arpaio just doesn't want to admit he screwed up.
Just like Trump and his "Dem illegals voted fer Hillary!"

(32,705 posts)3 strikes. So far today I've seen a clip of him with Kellyanne Conway and now the racist Arpaio? Not to mention the offensive promo of him asking if democrats could get more done if they weren't so obsessed with impeachment.
I'm not sure who his target audience is, but good luck with that!

So when exactly, are you going to let us see all this evidence you claim to have? And what exactly are you waiting for?

(34,136 posts)Why didn't Cuomo immediately come back with - "Well, show us the evidence and give us the details or shut up and get off my set."? And why didn't Cuomo also ask why Arpaio was bringing up this old lie now? President Obama is no longer in public office. If Arpaio had the evidence while President Obama was still in office it might have relevant, but now it is not only irrelevant it is offensive.

(34,136 posts)I just realized today that Amazon has Doctor Who, so I guess I will sign up for Amazon Prime, even though I order few things from them. They even have classic Doctor Who going back to the very early shows. Those are what got me hooked on Doctor Who - back in the 1970s Georgia Public TV used to show them and we could pick them up with a good antenna.
Eventually I will sign up for Acorn, but even with just Roku Channel, Netflix, Tubi and Crackle I have more than I can watch right now. I'm paying for Hulu but haven't watched anything on it.
I spend most of the day watching murder mysteries, then might watch Chris Hayes and Rachel - but if they depress me I go back to streaming.

perhaps this moron hasn't heard, but trumpy himself admitted that the birther thing was just a hoax, no truth to it, and was just a way try to win against a Dem. The usual bullshit from a bully...
yes, I think he should PROVE his lies on national tv!

(7,432 posts)Arpaio has been playing peek-a-boo with those imaginary "details" for years. No one tells him, "Show me, or you don't get any air time."
If you have forensic evidence, bring it or shut up.

(7,432 posts)We've had a lot of politicians, including Trumpy and Nixon, who claimed to have secret evidence that they won't reveal. Nixon told us that he had a secret plan to end the Vietnam War, and told us just before an election. He didn't. Trumpy does the same thing in spades. And Arpaio is merely mimicking Trumpy. No facts. No evidence. Just a slimy allegation, a wink, and a promise.
