Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona is one of the toughest law enforcement officials in the country. He strongly opposes illegal immigration and fights for our constitutional rights on a daily basis.
Well, liberal billionaire George Soros isn’t happy with Arpaio and is spending $2 million to defeat the sheriff in the General Election. Soros supports amnesty and weakened crime laws, so his opposition to Arpaio should come as no surprise to most Americans.
From Politico:
The Soros-funded PAC, Maricopa Strong, will file campaign finance documents Friday showing Soros’ multimillion dollar investment against Arpaio, along with $500,000 from Texas energy billionaires Laura and John Arnold and $250,000 from Laurene Powell Jobs (widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs). The group had previously reported a $300,000 donation from Soros, one of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors.
Soros has spent millions in 2015 and 2016 funding campaigns to defeat local prosecutors around the country and elect new ones who back criminal justice reform measures.

Maricopa Strong has spent $2.9 million in the sheriff’s race, with the donations from Soros and others funding a flurry of mailers and TV ads boosting Democratic candidate Paul Penzone and hammering Arpaio. Soros has typically been the sole funder of his local outside-spending campaigns around the country, though Jobs and the Arnolds joined him in funding Maricopa Strong.

Arpaio has aired about $2.8 million of his own TV ads, according to a media-tracking source, and has leaned on his national name recognition to raise millions more for his campaign, while Penzone’s campaign has been less well-funded. But several polls this fall have shown Penzone leading Arpaio in his second attempt to unseat the sheriff.
Soros is also a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton’s amnesty agenda, but Arpaio has been a popular sheriff in Maricopa County for years, and past attempts to defeat him have come up short.
Arpaio also supports Donald Trump, who like the Arizona sheriff, believes this country MUST enforce its immigration laws, or we will cease to be a great nation.
