Pence in Arizona hails Arpaio as 'champion' of 'rule of law'

[still_one]

"Vice President Pence praised former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of contempt of court, as a “tireless champion of … the rule of law” during an event in Arizona on Tuesday.
Pence said at the tax event that he was “honored” by the former sheriff’s attendance, and called Arpaio a “great friend of this president and tireless champion of strong borders and the rule of law,” to cheers from the crowd.
President Trump last year pardoned Arpaio, a vocal supporter of his on the campaign trail, after he was convicted of contempt of court for refusing to stop racially profiling Hispanic people at traffic stops for immigration checks."

NOT SO FAST

1. The evil snake now and then rears its ugly head above the grass

2. This is the legacy of the GOP victory in 2016. The president and VP are honoring a criminal

after winning an election by portraying themselves as the ones who believed in the rule of law.

3. I'm pretty sure that true rule of law champions seldom need a pardon from the President.

4. These people have constructed their own reality

where their perversion of everything decent is seen by them as righteous & morally superior. How do you deal with people so disconnected from reality? I'm not a believer, but I hope the fucking rapture happens ASAP & removes these evil fucks from the face of the planet.

5. Sheriff Joe should be in jail

6. He wasn't pardoned for nothing.

7. He is very confused

Arpaio is a 'champion' of 'rule by law officer'

[RockRaven]

8. It would be sweet indeed

if Arpaio won the primary, lost the general, and that seat was the margin that flipped the Senate.

But I doubt it will play out that way.
