CNN’s Sanchez likens Arpaio to Bull Connor
Sanchez prefaced his interview with the Arizona sheriff:
Well, perhaps not since Bull Connor whose aggressive police tactics against blacks in the South sparked civil rights legislation in 1964 has our country seen a showdown like the one going on right now between Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio and Washington, as in the feds.
And during his interview:
SANCHEZ: Like Bull Connor in 1960s, you’re going to sit there and tell the feds, you don’t care what they say, you’re going to do it your way and you’re going to do it when you want to do it?
ARPAIO: No, they don’t tell me how to do my job enforcing state laws. I worked 25 years as a top Justice Department drug enforcement official. I think I know the federal law and how to operate under the federal blanket. So...
SANCHEZ: All right. Well, for the record, they’re saying you don’t and they’re saying you’re violating it.
ARPAIO: Then come on after me, if he thinks I’m violating any of the federal laws.

Rick kept saying “nativists” and keeping them happy. He was meaning “nativists” as in “racists”.
Note to idiot sanchez....Bull Connor was a Democrat.
Paging Rick Sanchez...
Hate to break it to you, Rickie Sanchez baby— Bull Conner was a Democrat. And, Martin Luther King was a Republican!
This is about totalitarian power leveraging class warfare to their advantage. An illegal alien is ILLEGAL!! Get it, Rickie?
This likening of Arpaio to Bull Connor by CNN is one of the most insulting and dishonest things I’ve ever seen by the MSM, even by the ultra-low standards of CNN. Connor was going after native-born American citizens in a disgraceful display of excessive force. Arpaio is not using excessive force and he’s merely arresting people who may be illegal immigrants and turning them over to ICE. Illegal immigrants commit a lot of violent crime and property crime in America, and many of them are dangerous drivers who kill Americans on our streets (...I know about this based on a few harrowing taxi rides in Mexico. It’s muy macho to drive way too fast in Mexico.) Sheriff Arpaio is just enforcing the law and protecting the people of Arizona from violent crime, property crime, and vehicular manslaughter.
