Democrats on Monday slammed the prospect of President Trump granting a pardon to former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, saying it would mark a win for white supremacy and set the stage for the commander-in-chief to use his constitutional power to keep his family out of legal trouble.
Rep. Ruben Gallego told reporters ahead of Mr. Trumps visit to Phoenix Tuesday the reasoning behind an Arpaio pardon would be two-fold: to placate the presidents very xenophobic, racist base and give the public a preview of what would happen if members of his family face legal action as a result of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

*White Supremacy
He needs to do it if for nothing else just to spit in these commies’ eyes.
Electing Democrats is a win for Communism.

Whatever happened to that old saw, “We are a nation of laws, not of men.” Oh, that’s right the Clintons happened. Nevermind .
One of the main reasons I voted for Trump was my belief that he would do everything in his power to restore law and order to the country. Sheriff Joe was doing his best to do the same and should be pardoned. And given a position in federal law enforcement.
No - they’re trying to define ANYTHING that’s constitutional or American as White Supremacy or White Privelege - they’re teaching their people that laws are for white people and not a way to achieve domestic peace but an enforcement tool of subjugation.
All of this part of the plan to tear down civilization and instill a centralized communist dictatorship ala China.
Make no mistake - we are at war.
Arpaio is a loyal patriotic American.
A pardon from the President would have nothing in common with white supremacy, it’s just a means of giving justice to someone deserving of it.
I hope that by now Trump has figured out that no matter what he does the Democrats will brand him a “White Supremacist” and all his supporters “Racist Nazis”. Even praising the Antifa anarchists earns him nothing but scorn from his opponents.
In light of this he might as well do what he thinks is right, and pardoning Arpaio is the right thing to do. No Federal judge has the authority to tell a sheriff not to enforce the law, and this kangaroo court “contempt” conviction is a disgrace worthy of a 3rd rate banana republic.
If Trump manages to eat soup without spilling any on his shirt, it will be a victory for White Supremacy.

Thank to the PC culture and the liberals, we no longer have a justice system, we have a legal system. There’s a difference.
A pardon would be a win for the rule of law.
Something that is anathema to Democrats and Democrats in R jerseys.
Guess enforcing the laws that are already on the books is a “white” thing to do....
Pardon him, and toss the judge off the bench.
There must be a way to get rid of a judge who wants to jail a man for following the law...
And libtards, don;t give me that crap about “It was for contempt of court” the issue was ordering him NOT TO obey the law.
Is he guilty for NOT “just following orders” ?
These is all carefully orchestrated lies by local Rats to gin up more protesters at tonight’s rally!
Since they’re already bitching about it, word must’ve leaked out that a pardon is on the way.
The Bull.

How in the hell, did I become the racist?
So what, the Democrats think any vote for Trump was a vote for white supremacy. Anything we do they will not like so who cares what they think.
It seems like the type of thing that the Presidential Pardon was designed for. The sheriff committed no crime really, but was found in contempt of a judge’s order.
Compare that to all the drug dealers that Obama pardoned for violating actual laws.
