The so called President has pardoned convicted Sheriff Joe
Arpaio. Arpaio is the sheriff who targeted and racially profiled Hispanics in
Arizona for over a year after being told by courts to stop violating their
rights. He was convicted of contempt.
One of the talking points of the supporters of the so-called
President will be that it was a political prosecution because it was announced
just before the vote for the sheriff's position - which Arpaio then lost.
However this excuse does not explain his actual conviction - he was indeed
guilty.
The key reason for Arpaio's pardon is Arpaio's support for
the so-called President. Arpaio endorsed the so-called President for the
nomination and was a fellow birther; "Trump is likely a fan of Arpaio’s
because Arapio is a fan of his—an early supporter who also went all in for
birtherism, at one point sending members of a so-called Cold Case Posse to
Hawaii to dig up something incriminating about Barack Obama’s birth
certificate..." from the New Yorker.
That's the answer; they both promoted racist theories and
policies - it's that simple.
