Sheriff Joe: My comments about being an honor to be compared to the KKK were "taken out of context"

Arpaio defends MCSO on the stand

Plaintiffs' attorneys also asked Arpaio about a comment he made on a cable news talk show that seemed to express admiration for the Ku Klux Klan.

CNN host Lou Dobbs spoke with Arpaio in 2007 about comparisons between his department and the KKK, about which the sheriff said, "I think it's an honor. It means we are doing something."

Arpaio on Tuesday said he said he doesn't consider the comparison an honor, adding that he has no use for the KKK.

Outside of court afterward, Arpaio's attorney, Tim Casey, told reporters the clip was "taken out of context."

is because he can't control them to do his bidding. I bet he's a hero to the Klan though.
