Donald Trump ally Sheriff Joe Arpaio won’t let birther myth die
Why keep pounding on the birther issue when Trump can let his surrogates do his dirty work?
Arpaio told the Surprise Tea Party crowd this week that Trump's pivot on the birth certificate issue would not change his mission, the Republic reported.
“I know all the politicians say, ‘Sheriff, don’t talk about it,’ ” Arpaio said, according to the newspaper. “But how can I back down when we started it? I’m not going to just forget it.”
Arpaio's comments directly contradicted Trump's statements last Friday, when he admitted for the first time that Obama was born in the United States — but also inaccurately pointed at Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as the one who started the rumors.
