Excerpts:
Donald Trump's first post-debate event on Wednesday in Arizona kicked off with none other than Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who wasted no time in bringing up the birther controversy fueled by Trump himself.
"If you recall, five months ago, I introduced Donald Trump. At that time, I said a few things, we have something in common — the birth certificate investigation, which is still going on," Arpaio told the Mesa, Arizona, audience awaiting Trump, referencing the Republican presidential candidate's push in 2011 to get President Barack Obama to release his long-form birth certificate.

Arpaio also played up shared concerns on illegal immigration, as well as the fact that the two share a birthday — "Flag Day, June 14."
"Nobody else had the guts to talk about [immigration]," Arpaio remarked. "Think of that. Now they all have to talk about it."
