After being relegated to a speaking role at a zoo near the Republican National Convention last week, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio now is listed as being a speaker at a farm near the Democratic National Convention this week.
Arpaio’s scheduled to speak tomorrow at “Rock the Red,” a Republican-oriented event that’s being held at the Hunter Farm in Weddington, North Carolina — a town of almost 10,000 people, located around 20 miles from Charlotte.
The event was supposed to include country music acts Charlie Daniels and Travis Tritt, but according to the Charlotte Business Journal, organizers failed to pay for the venue rental in Charlotte, thus thoroughly screwing up everything.
