Sheriff Joe Arpaio Defends Birther Conspiracy: ‘Bigger Than Watergate’ | Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, best known for racial profiling, rampant lawbreaking, and neglecting sex crimes under his watch, is making a name for himself as the country’s leading birther. After putting together a team of “investigators” and concluding earlier this month that President Obama’s birth certificate is a “forgery and fraud,” the Arizona sheriff is now taking aim at the media for not giving credibility to claims. After calling the supposed media conspiracy against him “bigger than Watergate,” Arpaio promised his investigation would continue: “I’m not going to drop this.”
