Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's wife bitten by rattlesnake

[StarryNite]

"Ava is now in the Intensive Care Unit at a local hospital, where she will likely stay for a few more days, Joe said.

The former sheriff said he is going to fly to St. Louis early Saturday morning for a business trip, but he plans to cut his trip short so he can come back and be with his wife.

While worried for his wife, Joe said they are still in good spirits, even calling the snake a Democrat."

1. It should have bitten him

2. I hope the snake got some anti-racist IVs

injected into its body after biting such a vile and poisonous sub-human.

7. She's in ICU and he's going on a business trip...

Who is the real snake?

9. That was my first thought. What a creep.

11. I have no doubt "business trip" is some kind of paid speech, so he's abandoning his

wife in the ICU to pick up a few more pieces of silver by bloviating in front of a bunch of white nationalists.

If this doesn't tell anyone all they need to know about the guy, I don't know what does.

8. Married to him.......

you'd think she would be used to being around them.........

10. If you sleep with a snake for 30 years

You are bound to get bit.

12. How horrible. She's an elderly woman who recently battled cancer

I can't imagine the fear and trauma of a rattlesnake bite in her own home.

I wish her well.

13. She called the snake a Democrat? Did Arpaio switch parties? n/t

[DesertRat]

15. Ava didn't speak to the press, she's in the hospital

But as usual Joe will use this event as an opportunity to draw attention to himself.

14. Nice try snake but you got the wrong spouse.

[fescuerescue]

16. I heard it was the other way around

And that the snake died.

[Aristus]

17. And the rattlesnake died.
