Arpaio Pardon


In a display of flagrant cronyism, Trump has pardoned Arpaio, who was found guilty of criminal contempt and unconstitutional behavior, before he was even sentenced.

Arizona Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake have spoken out against this travesty of justice. Other Republicans have criticized Trump’s move, including Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (D-FL-27). McCain said, “[Trump] undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law as Mr. Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions.”

Action:

1. Send a free fax to John McCain, and/or Jeff Flake, and/or Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to thank them for their words.

2. This Time article has the Tweets from McCain, Flake, and Lehtinen. If you have Twitter, you can retweet right from the article page.

3. Contact the White House to express your disapproval of Trump’s tinpot dictatorial behavior.
