Joe Arpaio, the Arizona sheriff whose tough tactics to fight illegal immigration and crime have sparked controversy, will stump for Donald Trump and other Republicans at a GOP event in South Carolina next week.

Arpaio is one of three "special guests" headlining U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan's sixth annual Faith and Freedom BBQ fundraiser Monday in Anderson, The State newspaper reports.

The others include U.S. Reps. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina and Mark Meadows of North Carolina.

"Sheriff Arpaio has built a reputation for being one of America's toughest sheriffs. Like myself, he has consistently brought attention to the need to secure our borders and combat illegal immigration," Duncan said.

"He also knows that Blue Lives Matter, and is all too familiar with the dangers that law enforcement face on a daily basis."

Duncan called the Aug. 22 event, which costs from $35 for single ticket to $5,000 for a deluxe package, South Carolina's "largest annual gathering of conservatives."

But the South Carolina Democratic Party quickly criticized the inclusion of Arpaio, who in May was found in contempt for violating a court order to stop racially profiling Latinos during traffic stops and immigration patrols.

"The fact that Jeff Duncan and Mick Mulvaney would honor a racist and sexist bigot like Joe Arpaio is disgusting," the group wrote on its Facebook page.

The fact that Congressman Jeff Duncan and Rep. Mick Mulvaney would honor a racist and sexist bigot like Joe Arpaio is disgusting, but given their support of a racist and sexist bigot like Donald Trump for president, it is not surprising.
The article below lists 10 of Joe Arpaio's policies. We are interested in hearing which of these policies Jeff Duncan and Mick Mulvaney believe are appropriate.

LOL!! Sheriff Joe is not a racist or a sexist. He's nothing of the sort. Neither is Donald Trump. Throwing phony "race" and "woman" cards are signs of dishonesty and weakness, the same problems we've been dealing with in high levels of our government including those of Clinton and Obama for 8 years. So of course, displaying such dishonesty and weakness against Sheriff Joe and Donald Trump who want to stop illegal immigration and enforce our laws is not surprising from this dishonest and weak candidate, Hillary Clinton, and the totally corrupt ant-American Democratic Party.

To the people of South Carolina and all states, Donald Trump and allies like Sheriff Joe are striving to fix our country, to solve problems that are stealing jobs from Americans, deflating wages of Americans, increasing poverty for Americans, increasing taxes and spending on illegal aliens. Of course the Democratic Party whose mission is to bankrupt our nation and dissolve our country into some sickening New World Order reporting to a One World Government controlled by the World Trade Organization in Geneva, Switzerland hate people like Donald Trump who want to prevent that, who want to fix our country, bring our jobs back home, increase the standard of living for all Americans, restore prosperity and vitality to our inner cities, solve the outrageous unemployment problem for all Americans, especially the totally unacceptable unemployment rates among black Americans, who have the highest rates of unemployment and poverty, all because there are no jobs where they live or where they can afford to move to. NO JOBS, NO PROSPERITY, NO SAFETY, NO PEACE, NO HARMONY.

Don't fall for it, South Carolina. Stand Tall for America and that means Standing Tall for Donald Trump in this election.
