Trump pardons former Sheriff Joe Arpaio By Daniella Diaz and Sophie Tatum, CNN Updated 8:14 PM ET, Fri August 25, 2017 http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/25/politics/sheriff-joe-arpaio-donald-trump-pardon/index.html
Good Arizona should build monuments to Arpaio. The entire country owes him a thank you for keeping us safe
Finally Trump does something right but why did it take so long and why do it in a cowardly fashion on a Friday night during a massive hurricane? This should have been staged as a signature rejection of Obama's hate America policy. I suppose Trump was worried about the reaction of Ivanka's rabbi or that Gary Cohn would be even more disgusted with him.
Heh. Clinton pardons some major losers. Obama pardons/commutes terrorist puerto rican killers, major violent drug dealers, and lets go terrorists who killed americans on the battlefield, blew up the USS Cole, etc and all the lefties panties are in a bunch because Trump pardons Sheriff Joe ON A MISDEMEANOR. Time for some to go to their safe spaces with their therapy dogs. Stay calm and keep breathing. Let's hope that Trump invites Joe to the White House to give him the Medal of Freedom the way Obama did for Joe Biden just for being his homo-erotic buddy and drinking whatever kool aid Barry dished out and then helping to serve it to the American people.
Former Trump Ethics Director Calls Arpaio Pardon ‘A Harbinger Of Worse to Come’ Walter Shaub called the president’s action “vile” and decried the former Arizona sheriff as a “racist.” President Donald Trump’s former ethics chief, who resigned last month because of disagreements with the White House over ethics policies, blasted the president’s decision on Friday to pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio. “Vile!!” began Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, on a Twitter thread. “What POTUS says ‘exemplifies selfless public service’ is: dehumanizing inmates, racial profiling, and gleefully defying a court order.” Shaub tweeted that the pardon was a “harbinger of worse to come.” “This pardon also departs from procedural norms. And as an affirmative act by POTUS, it reveals an emboldening,” he tweeted. Trump’s controversial move came late on a Friday night as the country was preparing for a deadly hurricane off the coast of Texas. Former Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio, who once proclaimed himself “America’s toughest sheriff,” was convicted last month of criminal contempt for violating a 2011 order that forbade the sheriff and his office from detaining individuals solely because of their legal status. But Shaub was hardly alone in his outrage, as other current and former public officials also condemned Trump’s pardon. Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton released a statement saying that the Arpaio’s tactics “terrorized Latino families because of their skin color.”
