Far-right sheriff Joe Arpaio, who received a controversial criminal pardon from Donald Trump, has said he would accept a blow job from the President.
Arpaio, the disgraced former Sheriff of Maricopa County, faced a string of criminal charges for abusing his powers and racial profiling, but was handed a pardon by Trump in 2017.
The official, who ran a self-described “concentration camp” for prisoners, was one of several Republicans and far-right figureheads to be duped by comic Sacha Baron Cohen for TV show Who Is America?

Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Cohen posed as a Finnish YouTuber, OMGWhizzBoyOMG for an interview with Arpaio, who lavished praise upon the President.
Arpaio said: “He’s got money, but he doesn’t act like he’s rich.”
Cohen asks: “If Donald Trump calls you up after this and says, Sheriff Joe, I want to offer you an amazing blow job, would you say yes?”
Arpaio replies: “I may have to say yes.”
Several other Republicans were duped by Cohen.
One GOP lawmaker was forced to resign after the TV show recorded him dropping his trousers and repeatedly shouting the N-word.
Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, meanwhile, claimed that the Bruno star posed as a veteran to try and get her to say something “hateful and homophobic”.
The Palin interview is yet to air, but a source close to the Republican told People: “All of it was obnoxious, but I think the last straw was when the interviewer asked about what he claimed was a government-funded sex-change operation for Chelsea Clinton.
“Cohen was trying to get Governor Palin to say something homophobic and hateful. She takes it personally when anyone goes after the children and families of politicians.
“She just thought, ‘What a horrible thing.’ She was particularly incensed about that.”

Palin accused Cohen of posing as a wheelchair-bound veteran, but the comic hit back in an in-character statement as ‘Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr., PhD’.
He wrote: “Vice-President Palin, I am Dr Billy Wayne Ruddick, founder/CEO/accountant of Truthbrary.org and it was I that interviewed you.
“I did NOT say I was a War Vet. I was in the service – not military, but United Parcel, and I only fought for my country once – when I shot a Mexican who came onto my property. (Coincidentaly, just like our Great President, I was sadly prevented from joining the regular army on account of bone spurs bein discovered in my testies).”
He added: “I have always admired you for TELLING THE TRUTH about Obama’s birth certificate and the location of Russia.
“But ma’am, I do believe you have been hit by a bullshit grenade and are now bleedin’ FAKE NEWS.
“You used to hunt the most dangerous animals in the country, like wolves and people on welfare. So why hunt a fine citizen journalist like myself?
“I DEMAND an APOLOGY. Dr. Billy Wayne Ruddick. Jr.”
