Sheriff Arpaio is Bipolar, Not Racist (Plus: Live Updates from Tomorrow’s Congressional Hearing!)

What would you sayArizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who's about to undergo a federal investigation for alleged civil rights violations, is sounding increasingly bipolar.

Weeks ago he told Congress that he would not testify, if asked, before tomorrow's House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing into the local enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Today, he's got his pink panties in a twist that he wasn't invited.

According to Nicole Beyer, from ABC Arizona:

Two weeks after Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he wouldn't testify before Congress, he now says he wasn't invited.

This, as Mesa's Police Chief George Gascon confirmed the House Judiciary Committee asked him to testify on Capitol Hill on Thursday. 

Other witnesses at the Hearing include:

Thanks for the great article

This is truly ridiculous, I don’t understand how peoples can perform such task for money. How cruel these peoples are?

Waxing, people like these three that are accused and charged with these crimes are not thinking. it seems one of the two men is latino as well, and I have read reports in the Arizona newspapers that he might be associated with a drug cartel. and they are thinking the little girls dad was a drug cartel member as well.

This is the same lady who back in February claimed to have been raped in her home and had a family member shot, though nothing ever came of this. While I dont condone the actions that took place in the arizona desert, i also dont condone the actions that take place in the next paragraph

That being said, the lady actually was never associated with FAIR. The lady in question was removed from the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps years ago by its founder Chris Simcox. Gilchrist kicked her out of his organization and after she lost a lawsuit with him, she started her own border watch group.

This group america’s voice, apparently has forgotten that THREE AMERICAN children have been killed in the last month. In Brewster, NY an 8 year old and her mother were killed by a drunk driver who was speeding and missed the turn at the intersection and this the two as they were coming out of a dance studio. Two others were killed in Nebraska, less than 10 days apart.
