A sheriff in Arizona for more than two decades, and an early Trump supporter, Arpaio was pardoned by the president last year after being found guilty of criminal contempt of court in a case stemming from his refusal to stop traffic patrols that targeted Latinos. He is currently running for US Senate in Arizona as a Republican.

Last week, Arpaio told Breitbart that he was duped by the show.

“I felt uncomfortable with some of the words they were using but I had to live through it,” Arpaio told the outlet. “I am not the type of guy who gets up and walks out. I never walked out in thousands of interviews. I just take it.”

“I was kind of shocked,” he added. “But I figured this is Finland and this is a famous comedian.”
