Arizona Central reported:

On Jan. 1, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio relinquishes the star that made him a star and becomes Citizen Joe Arpaio.

Few elected officials can boast a quarter-century of tenure, even those with spotless reputations. Arpaio’s legacy was tainted by multimillion-dollar lawsuits arising out of jail deaths, political prosecutions and racial profiling that led to criminal contempt-of-court charges.

Despite the scandals, that star on his chest remained bright and shiny for an adoring, if shrinking, constituency charmed by his bumper-sticker slogans about enforcing the laws and deporting illegal immigrants and making bad guys pay for their crimes, and by his gimmicky pink underwear and chain gangs and Tent City.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio posted this tweet thanking his supporters on December 31, 2016.

Want to wish everyone a very happy and healthy 2017. Thank you citizens of Maricopa County and those around the country for your support

It is distressing to see that huge money can still buy elections. That is how Sheriff Joe lost--George Soros huge money against him. COME ON TRUMP GIVE HIM A JOB IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OR HOMELAND SECURITY. Make the defeat of Sheriff Joe an counter productive win for the open borders creeps.

It is a terrible thing to see our dear Sheriff Joe lose his re-election and hiss boo to those who wished him defeat. He deserved to be re-elected until he chose to retire. Yes, 17patri76, it was that horrible nasty Soros money that cost dear Joe the election and shame on the voters for falling for it.

This man was on the front lines to do the right thing for America when it was not even heard of in the media. He is a man of integrity and would have continued to do so if not for George Soros. Is is a shame, but now it is time to pass the baton to Donald Trump to get the job done. We wish you well Sheriff Arpaio!
