Leave it to RINO McCain
McCain critical of president's pardon of Arpaio
President Donald Trump has tweeted about his pardon of the former sheriff of the Phoenix metro area, who was convicted of a misdemeanor contempt-of-court charge for defying a judge's orders that he stop conducting immigration patrols.
Ex-sheriff Joe Arapio was facing the prospect of jail time at his sentencing in October.
Trump tweeted that he was "pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85-year-old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He kept Arizona safe!"
U.S. Sen. John McCain the RINO of Arizona is voicing his displeasure at President Donald Trump’s pardon of the former Phoenix metro area sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of a misdemeanor contempt-of-court charge for defying a judge’s orders that he stop conducting immigration (rounding up illegals) patrols.
What I don't understand is this. If the assholes in AZ wanted a Republican to represent them... why did they keep sending McCain to DC?
Arapio was facing the prospect of jail time at his sentencing in October.
McCain says in a statement that "no one is above the law" and "sworn law officers should always seek to be beyond reproach in their commitment to fairly enforcing the laws they swore to uphold."
By pardoning Arpaio, McCain says it undermines Trump's claim for the respect of rule of law.
He also says Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs are supporting the presidential pardon of former metro Phoenix sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Ducey says Arpaio "deserves credit for helping to reduce crime in Maricopa County over his long career in law enforcement and public office."
He says Trump's pardon "has brought finality to this chapter in Arizona's history."
Ducey adds that Arpaio is his friend and now the 85-year-old ex-lawman can move on and enjoy his retirement with his wife and family.
Biggs says he applauds Trump for pardoning Arpaio and adds that "America owes Sheriff Arpaio a debt of gratitude and not the injustice of a political witch hunt."

RFK's son Max Kennedy and his daughter are arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct
Keeping the Kennedy tradition alive and well.
------------------------------------------
According to Barnstable Police Officer Armando Feliciano, who arrived at the scene just after 1am, the father-daughter duo 'incited...an angry mob' among members of the party.
Caroline, 23, reportedly refused to give police her information and admitted to being drunk while she was booked.
Her father, 52, was described to be 'sweating profusely' and had 'noticeably' blood-shot eyes.
They were charged with disturbing the peace and violating a noise ordinance. Both of the Kennedys were bailed out that same night.
Details of their arrests emerged a day after the father-daughter duo's mug shots were revealed.
Max Kennedy, 52, and his daughter, Caroline Kennedy, 22, were arrested early Sunday morning.
Later at the arraignment:
Nancy Pelosi's father helped dedicate Confederate monument
Time to remove the headstone from Pelosi's father's grave.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has ramped up calls to remove "reprehensible" Confederate statues from the halls of Congress -- but left unsaid in her public denunciations is that her father helped dedicate such a statue decades ago while mayor of Baltimore.
It was May 2, 1948, when, according to a Baltimore Sun article from that day, “3,000” looked on as then-Governor William Preston Lane Jr. and Pelosi’s father, the late Thomas D’Alesandro Jr., spoke at the dedication of a monument to honor Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.
The article said Lane delivered a speech, and Mayor D’Alesandro “accepted” the memorial.
“Today, with our nation beset by subversive groups and propaganda which seeks to destroy our national unity, we can look for inspiration to the lives of Lee and Jackson to remind us to be resolute and determined in preserving our sacred institutions,” D’Alesandro said in his dedication. “We must remain steadfast in our determination to preserve freedom, not only for ourselves but for the other liberty-loving nations who are striving to preserve their national unity as free nations.”
He added: “In these days of uncertainty and turmoil, Americans must emulate Jackson’s example and stand like a stone wall against aggression in any form that would seek to destroy the liberty of the world.”
[A 180 from her old man. Now you know why she refused to comment]
With President Trump cautioning that the drive to purge Confederate statues could represent a slippery slope, the White House has flagged Pelosi's family history as she fuels the statue opposition.
Counselor Kellyanne Conway tweeted an earlier article from RedAlertPolitics noting Pelosi's father's role.
"That's rich," she wrote.
Last week, more than a half century after Pelosi’s father honored the Lee-Jackson monument, it was removed from its post along with three other Confederate statues in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun. The removal came as numerous monuments were removed, vandalized or otherwise being debated in the wake of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., where a counter-protester was killed.
Pelosi’s office did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment on her father’s involvement with one of the Baltimore monuments.
