After a gunman with clear ties to white nationalism opened fire yesterday at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, a new video that ties Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio to his neo-Nazi supporters is gaining attention:
In “Phoenix Mayor Asks Sheriff To ‘Disavow’ His Extremist Ties After Holocaust Shooting,” the Wonk Room’s Andrea Nill writes:
In a press conference in which he was supposed to talk about the Phoenix light rail, Mayor Gordon called on Arpaio to distance himself from his extremist allies:
GORDON: He has given a sense of recognition to the Nazis and neo-Nazis that he’s associated with…and so I ask the Sheriff today to publically disavow his associations with these hate mongerars and apologize so we can begin righting the ship.
