During an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Paul Babeu, the Pinal County
sheriff and a Republican candidate for Congress in Arizona accused of
threatening his Mexican ex-boyfriend with deportation, says he's not ashamed
that he's a gay man, but the "embarrassing" allegations made against
him are politically motivated.
Babeu appeared
as a guest on CNN's The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer and again
stated that the accusation he threatened his former boyfriend with deportation
to Mexico is false, adding he only requested that "Jose," as the
man's attorney insists
he be identified, cease using his political campaign's website and Twitter
account to post private information.
"He had a business with websites," Babeu says. "He just stole my
website and put slanderous information on my websites and how can anybody
expect to do business?"
"I've never defined myself by other than my service and my duty and what
we should all be judged on in life," Babeu tells Blitzer. "We've all
had relationships as clear as day now that this is national news, that I've had
one where he wanted to harm me. And now this is rolled out, and the timing of
this is more than coincidence."
During the interview Babeu again denies the allegations against him, saying he
doesn't have the authority to deport anyone, and that he's aware
"Jose" was living in the United States legally.
"One, he's legal," Babeu says. "He has said that. I've said
that. And then, in addition, this whole thing about deportation, we all know I
don't have deportation authority."
Babeu is nationally known for his strong stance on border security,
appearing prominently alongside Sen. John McCain in a campaign ad on the
subject, and he even spoke forcefully about the issue at the recent
Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.
