More quotes by Joe Arpaio
You get so tired of political correctness. I'm noted for speaking out all my career.
Joe Arpaio
But believe me, there's a lot I'd like to say - but I don't think the time is right now.
Joe Arpaio
I love the president Donald Trump. He supports law enforcement and I'm very humbled. I said publicly, recently, pardon or no pardon, I will be with him until the end.
Joe Arpaio
I don't care where [Ted] Cruz comes from. I don't care where the President comes from. Day one, I opened an investigation on a fraudulent government Hawaii document, period, on a birth certificate, so if you can say Cruz has fake documents, okay.
Joe Arpaio
I don't rely on the media. I usually average one speech a day for 25 years. People know me because I'm out there.
Joe Arpaio
Many times, when you go to arrest somebody, they pull their gun, and here I am, a federal agent, telling them to drop their gun. But the gun is like that. I give them a split second to drop it, and they drop it. I could have shot them - who is going to complain?
Joe Arpaio
I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents.' That's music to my ears.
Joe Arpaio
I have compassion, I've told you people that over and over again. Enforcing the law overrides my compassion.
Joe Arpaio
I don't look at me taking risks or if that's going to affect me politically.
Joe Arpaio
I'm a very private person, regardless of what the world may think of me.
Joe Arpaio
I'm not interested in Vice President. I'm hanging around Arizona. I'm running again for Sheriff.
Joe Arpaio
I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.
Joe Arpaio
It takes a lot of work to do this every day, every day, but I feel, as a sheriff, I should get to know my people. I serve them. They don't serve me. I serve them. They're my bosses, and the more people I can see and talk to, I love it.
Joe Arpaio
I just can't surrender. I can't start something and then surrender because of political reasons. I just don't do that, and that goes back to me, why I keep running when I should probably take it easy, even though I have no hobbies, and enjoy the rest of my life.
Joe Arpaio
I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.
Joe Arpaio
Some people call me a publicity hound.
Joe Arpaio
I don't throw people under the bus. When I stick by a guy - I may not agree with him all the time, but I sure don't throw him under the bus.
Joe Arpaio
I'm not a computer guy. I have my Smith Corona. I would know nothing about computers.
Joe Arpaio
I was taught to work hard and to be honest, and that's what I try to do, so that's it.
Joe Arpaio
Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.
