Jane Sanders' remarks about Arpaio

“What I saw and heard firsthand today by visiting with the families and seeing tent city was very disturbing,” Sanders said. “Sheriff Arpaio did not even attempt to explain or excuse his inhumane treatment of people of color — not that he could. That kind of attitude toward our fellow human beings is completely unacceptable, especially in elected officials and those who would seek public office.”

Sounds about right......

It side tracks us, gives credence and audience to the bogus charge and puts us on defense -- all of that favors HRC so they will keep doing it until we stop playing their game.

Bernie's game -- fill the discussion with proposals, issues and solutions

That's what Hillary surrogates would have you believe. Just as despicable as the vicious attacks on Michelle Obama in 2008 (from guess who).

"I was very flattered when Henry Kissinger said I ran the State Department better — better than anybody had run it in a long time. So I have an idea of what it’s going to take to make our government work more efficiently."

...it was correctly interpreted as his showing concern for prison conditions.

It's absurd that some people believe (or pretend to believe) Jane Sanders visiting Arpaio's jail shows lack of concern for jail conditions.

...and that's what she's referring to.

She's not saying that there are no white in Arpaio's jail.

U.S. Finds Pervasive Bias Against Latinos by Arizona Sheriff

PHOENIX — In a strongly worded critique of the country’s best-known sheriff, the Justice Department on Thursday accused Sheriff Joe Arpaio of engaging in “unconstitutional policing” by unfairly targeting Latinos for detention and arrest and retaliating against those who complain.

After an investigation that lasted more than three years, the civil rights division of the Justice Department said in a 22-page report that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, which Mr. Arpaio leads, had “a pervasive culture of discriminatory bias against Latinos” that “reaches the highest levels of the agency.” The department interfered with the inquiry, the government said, prompting a lawsuit that eventually led Sheriff Arpaio and his deputies to cooperate.
