McCain blasts Trump over Arpaio pardon
The Hill ^ | August 25, 2017 | Brandon Carter

Posted on 08/26/2017 7:05:44 AM PDT by Zakeet

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) blasted President Trump over his pardon of former Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday, arguing it "undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law."

McCain's counterpart in the Senate, Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), also criticized Trump's decision to pardon Arpaio on Friday.

[Snip]

"Throughout his time as Sheriff, Arpaio continued his life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration," the White House said.

"Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now eighty-five years old, and after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is a worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon."

Respect for the rule of law? And his buddy Rahm can tell ICE where to step off? Give me a break.

McCain would accuse Trump of putting heart specialists out of work if he had found a cure for heart disease.

How many more billion tons of evidence does the Republican party require to prove that McCain is a Democrat? WHY isn’t this fraud kicked out of the party? Of WHAT possible benefit is it to the Republican party to keep him in? This is exactly like having Nancy Pelosi in the party.

Shouldn’t he be getting his affairs ready to depart this mortal coil? Knowing this attention hound, he’s recording messages knocking Trump to be sent to the Democrat media after he’s gone. What a vindictive, jealous jerk he’s turned out to be in his last days.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he lives through Trumps entire 2 terms.

McCain... EVERYTHING Col David Hackworth said about him was true, and then some!

McCain is a traitor, always has been one.

And wasn’t Sheriff Joe charged with enforcing federal law that the feds refused to enforce? And he speaks of the rule of law? Unbelievable.

“Respect for the law”?
Did I hear that right Juan?
You have no respect for the law because you demand immigration law not be enforced.
You are a senile embarrassment!

The only good thing about 2008 is that this maniac didn’t get elected. It was a huge mistake to vote for him.
