On Sunday, newsman Jorge Ramos confronted Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Univision’s Al Punto and told Joe he was the face of racism to U.S. Latinos.
The much-maligned Maricopa County cop wouldn’t have any of that. “How do you know they don’t like me?” he asked. “They love me!”
It’s really true, because we found a lot of Latino love for Sheriff Joe Arpaio everywhere we asked.

We sell a lot of Sheriff Joe piñatas, seriously, a buttload. We really do like him.
Clara Silva, immigrant
I love Sheriff Joe. He shackled me to my bed when I gave birth. It really brought me closer to my baby.
Flavio Barrales, small businessman
When I see Sheriff Joe’s face, it reminds me to stick to my diet and not eat pork. I’ve lost 5 pounds. Thank you Sheriff Joe
Martha Ramirez, college student
I am going into criminal justice, and Sheriff Joe inspired me to pursue law. I hope to be a lawyer and fight corrupt racist piece of shit cops like that fat douchebag. Love him
Randy Nuñez, social media consultant
Sheriff Joe inspires me to be a better person, not a flaming asshole like he is.

I show my kids pictures of Sheriff Joe and I tell them he’s El Cucuy, and they behave like angels. Love that Sheriff Joe

Sheriff Joe killed his mother. That’s kind of cool. Love him.
