Trump Pardoned Sheriff Joe…. And The Reactions Are Completely Unhinged

As I reported earlier, President Trump has granted Sheriff Joe Arpaio a pardon.

Sheriff Joe has issued a response on Twitter:

I am humbled and incredibly grateful to President Trump. I look fwd to putting this chapter behind me and helping to #MAGA

— Joe Arpaio (@RealSheriffJoe) August 26, 2017

Thank you @realdonaldtrump for seeing my conviction for what it is: a political witch hunt by holdovers in the Obama justice department!

— Joe Arpaio (@RealSheriffJoe) August 26, 2017

I also thank my loyal supporters, who stood shoulder to shoulder w/ me in this fight, and throughout my career. For those who are asking . .

And as we expected, people are completely losing their minds about it. The reactions are completely and totally unhinged. Complete lunacy.

The pardoning of joe arpaio is sick and twisted. What the president did today was perverse and only furthers racism in the US. #ImpeachTrump

Thanks Anne Frank center, for continuing to comment on politics. Totally appropriate for a museum.

One of the sickest parts of Trump’s pardon is the fact someone at some point said “pardon Joe Arpaio when the hurricane hits.” #ImpeachTrump

Really, folks?

Trump pardoned the racist Joe Arpaio before deciding whether to declare a state of emergency because of #HurricaneHarvey

I’m sure it was planned. But that doesn’t matter to you.

Joe Arpaio illegally tortured Latinos. Of course Trump pardoned him: https://t.co/IAGW244v8m pic.twitter.com/JXOtedfwLr

Really?

By pardoning Joe Arpaio, Donald Trump has blessed Arpaio’s racist and unconstitutional police practices. 1/

If the Republican Party wanted to stop the pardon of Joe Arpaio, they could have. By impeaching Trump. #ImpeachTrump

— Scott Dworkin (@funder) August 26, 2017

A pardon for Arpaio is an embrace of white supremacy from @realdonaldtrump. America deserves better. https://t.co/L4Ajveha68

ACLU: POTUS “pardon of Arpaio is a presidential endorsement of racism.”

Trump pardoning Joe Arpaio sends a loud and clear message – racism is fine, mistreating people is fine, profiling is fine

Joe Arpaio is a bigot who targeted the Hispanic community for years. He should have served his time. https://t.co/b60fRJFnTD

May I remind everyone….

The same members of the Left who have been critical of a Joe Arpaio pardon, were perfectly fine with a pardon for traitor Chelsea Manning. pic.twitter.com/5bMb6CRjYa

OBAMA: Commuted Traitor Bradley Manning’s 35-year sentence.

LIBS = 😊

TRUMP: Pardons Sheriff Joe Arpaio; faced maximum 6 mo.

LIBS = 😡

— Ryan Saavedra 🇺🇸 (@RealSaavedra) August 26, 2017

Joe Arpaio pardoned after contempt of court ruling: libs lose it. Eric Holder found in contempt and they say nothing.
