Sanders accuses controversial Arizona sheriff of 'un-American' tactics
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders last week called a controversial Arizona sheriff a bully and accused him of engaging in “un-American and uncivilized” law enforcement tactics.
Sanders's comments at a campaign rally here were directed at long-serving Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who prides himself on being “America's toughest sheriff” and operates an infamous “tent city” jail where inmates endure extreme outdoor heat.
Sanders' appearance was part of a series of stops planned ahead of Tuesday's primary in Arizona, which he hopes will help him regain traction in a Democratic nominating contest he is losing to Hillary Clinton.
Thursday night's rally was held at a Navajo casino, and the senator from Vermont focused heavily on issues facing Native Americans as well as Latinos. - See more at: www.unionleader.com/Sanders-accuses-controversial-Arizona-sheriff-of-un-American-tactics#sthash.wcO1HLvb.dpuf
