Joe Arpaio: I'd accept a pardon from Trump

Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was found guilty in late July of contempt of court after failing to stop racial profiling practices, said he would accept a pardon from President Donald Trump.

“Whatever the president wants me to do, I would support him,” Arpaio said to his state’s largest paper, The Arizona Republic, earlier this week. “If he needs help with anything, of course I’m going to help him.”

Arpaio, who served as Maricopa County’s sheriff for more than two decades, is a Trump supporter and spoke at the then-nominee’s events last year. Arpaio, however, is not sure whether the president is aware of his current legal situation.

Hang on Joe ... your appeal process has to play out first.

Gonna have to make Trump's boots shine Joe.

Don't worry Joe, nobody will think any less of you.

Why would anyone think less of him?  He should be pardoned.   This was quite obviously a politically motivated prosecution.

I'll always be grateful to Arpaio for the stunning information he revealed about Obama's birth certificate, just as he promised.

Both he and Trump.

This man has done a lot of good.  He fought back against illegal immigration where no one else would.  He is paying the price and you folks condemn him because of one thing.  Disgusting

I don't play that game of, okay, you did this and this, but you lied your butt off for years about that so you get a pass.

What did joe lie his butt off about?  Hell you probably condemn the founding fathers because they weren't perfect.  Despicable

Whatever happened with that? I recall he was going to release something stunning in December. I assume it was a flop.

@driftdiver

It's clear what I'm referring to, since I mentioned it in the post you responded to.  Why play dumb?

I know you didn't just compare Arpaio to the founders.  I KNOW you didn't.  It has to be a mistake.

He teased it forever, and every time, the conspiracy fans at TOS posted threads, waiting for the big reveal.

He did lie about having proof about Obama's birth records.

Same with Orange Glorious.

Seems that there is a certain segment of society that just wants someone to tell them the lies they want to hear.

Exactly. Their egos are blatantly more important than law and justice. Joe Arpaio deserved a medal, not prosecution. He deserves our respect not our scorn.

@Cripplecreek

Yep, I remember that.  TOSers took the bait on that one each time, too.

I used to believe the canard that "to anger a liberal tell them the truth. To anger a conservative, lie to them". Trumpsanity has blown that fantasy out of the water.

Another conservative person of action, thrown under the bus by talk only #nevertrumpers. A repeating pattern.

Joe did a lot.  More than you or I ever did.

Like proof of Obama's birth?

Come on, now...he took action so much, he even took ones beyond what the law allows!
