Arpaio: I Thought Sacha Baron Cohen Asked Me if I Wanted a ‘Job’ From Trump, Not a Blowjob
Arpaio claims he misunderstood the comedian when he was asked if Trump had a “golden shower” or whether he’d accept oral sex from the president.

Former Maricopa County Sheriff and Arizona Senate candidate Joe Arpaio said that his interview with undercover comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was “bad mistake” riddled with simple misunderstandings. Arpaio told The Washington Examiner that he “couldn’t understand” Cohen while the comedian feigned a Finnish accent for his Who Is America? program. “He’s talking about golden showers. I thought he was talking about—he president has gold [in his shower],” he said. He also referenced Cohen asking him about handjobs, saying he thought the comedian “was talking about illegals coming over working with their hands on their job.” Arpaio then addressed Cohen asking him if he would receive a blowjob from the president, saying he thought Cohen was saying he would “would offer me a job. I didn’t hear that little thing before that.” Cohen, when interviewing Arpaio, was posing as a Finnish “unboxing” video star OMGWhizzBoyOMG. Arpaio appeared to tell him in the segment that he would accept oral sex from the president and that it “it wouldn't surprise” him if the president had a “golden shower” (from Russian prostitutes, as was alleged in the infamous Steele dossier). Arpaio is currently running for Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) seat, and was the recipient of a controversial presidential pardon from Trump.
