McCain: Trump pardoning Arpaio 'undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law'
By Brandon Carter -- The Hill
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) blasted President Trump over his pardon of former Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, saying it "undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law."
"Mr. Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt for continuing to illegally profile Latinos living in Arizona based on their perceived immigration status in violation of a judge's orders," McCain said in a statement.
"The President has the authority to make this pardon, but doing so at this time undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law as Mr. Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions."
