Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has long been a thorn in the Obama administration’s efforts to allow illegal immigrants to run around without regard to laws, was recently the subject of a Justice Department political prosecution.
Now the sheriff is fighting back in a controversial manner that is sure to raise the ire of Obama and his supporters.
Arpaio is bringing up the President’s birth certificate yet again, something he considers to be a “forged document.”

Via The Hill:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who lost his Maricopa County, Ariz., reelection bid in November, has restarted his investigation into President Obama’s citizenship.
Arpaio, a vocal supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, lost a bid for his seventh term as sheriff last month.
According to a Wednesday statement, Arpaio said he and a chief investigator will be “presenting their newest revelations to the years long investigation of the birth certificate presented by the White House in 2011 of President Obama.”
The White House in 2011 released a long-form birth certificate for Obama, who was born in Honolulu in 1961.
At a speech given to a Tea Party group in September, Arpaio indicated he would continue his investigation into the birth certificate.
“I don’t care where he’s from,” he told the group. “We are looking at a forged document. Period.”
Live Stream of the event will be happening here at 6pm eastern time on Thursday.
