Arpaio Spends Anniversary of Loss Getting His Teeth Cleaned

Exactly a year ago, Joe Arpaio was dethroned from his post as “America's toughest sheriff.”

The Associated Press declared current Sheriff Paul Penzone, a Democrat, would take the helm at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, at about 9:15 p.m. on November 8, 2016.

Arpaio seems to still have a lot of grievances to air about the loss a year later — but he’s too busy planning for the future to discuss them right now.

"I’m not going to get into that," Arpaio told Phoenix New Times today. "I have other political plans. I’m not talking about what happened. I think if you read some of the statements about the Justice Department saying the day before the vote that they were going to charge me for a misdemeanor contempt of court, and a lot of other issues … I’ll be talking about very soon about the loss — including George Soros upping 5 million dollars against me. The main issue I’ll be talking about, but not much right now because I’m involved in other political situations.”

Then Arpaio had to get going. He’s spending the anniversary of his loss getting his teeth cleaned.
