   Former Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday evening filed   
   a libel suit against The New York Times and a member of its editorial   
   board, Politico reported.   
      
   Arpaio is seeking is seeking $147.5 million in damages over a Times op-ed   
   by Michelle Cottle titled "Well, at Least Sheriff Joe Isn’t Going to   
   Congress."   
      
   In a complaint filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of   
   Columbia, Arpaio says the piece contains "several false, defamatory   
   factual assertions."   
      
   He claims the article was “carefully and maliciously calculated to damage   
   and injure” his reputation, Politico reported.   
      
   Cottle in the piece says Arpaio's 24-year run as sheriff was "medieval in   
   its brutality," accusing him of "terrorizing immigrant neighborhoods with   
   gratuitous raids and traffic stops and detentions."   
      
   All of the accounts in Cottle's piece have been previously reported,   
   including stories about prisoners in jails overseen by Arpaio being   
   beaten, mistreated and forced into humiliating circumstances.   
      
   Arpaio, who called himself "America's toughest sheriff," was convicted of   
   criminal contempt by a federal court in 2017. President Trump pardoned him   
   before he could be sentenced.   
      
   Arpaio then ran an unsuccessful bid for Senate in Arizona. He was beat out   
   by Republican Rep. Martha McSally.   
      
   The controversial former sheriff is represented by Larry Klayman, the   
   chairman of the conservative watchdog group Freedom Watch.   
      
   Arpaio has been accused of police misconduct, including abuse of power,   
   unlawful enforcement of immigration laws and failure to investigate sex   
   crimes. He has been the subject of multiple federal civil rights lawsuits.   
      
      
   --   
   Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car   
   parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump   
   truck.   
      
   Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for cleaning up the disaster   
   of the Obama presidency.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.   
      
   ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its   
   supporters can dispute that.   
      
   Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum   
   wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare.  It can't   
   be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great   
   it is.   
      
   Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight   
   years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer   
   liberal democrat donors.
