Bigots who have openly admitted to running a CONCENTRATION CAMP are apparently welcome at this establishment. Disgraced former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is scheduled to appear here at an up-to $1,500 a plate Fresno GOP fundraising event on September 29th.
A survivor of the tent jail Arpaio himself described as a concentration camp shares his experience in The Washington Post: "The rules of the tent city were strict, arbitrary and brutally enforced. There are no newspapers allowed; Arpaio hated newspapers. The only food allowed for those of us in the work furlough program was the food in the vending machines, which was grossly overpriced.
During the sweltering summer, the temperature could reach 115 or 120 degrees. I was in the tents when we hit 120. It was impossible to stay cool in the oppressive heat. Everyone would strip down to their underwear. There was no cold water, only water from vending machines; and eventually, the machines would run out. People would faint; some had heatstroke. That summer, ambulances came about three times. One man died in his bed."
These are only a few of the atrocities committed by Joe Arpaio, search his name if you doubt this.
Would you allow a man such as this to enter your home or business? I would hope not. The Fresno business community must not allow their operations to be co-opted by this evil man.
