This is obscene.
Trump has pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the ardently anti-Latino sheriff who terrorized Arizona for years, targeting immigrants legal and illegal, ultimating being convicted of criminal contempt of court ...

Arpaio, 85, was convicted in July of criminal contempt for violating a federal court order to stop racially profiling Latinos. He was scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 5 and faced a maximum of six months in jail.
He backed Trump, so Trump repaid him and all his other white supremacist followers with a pardon. Unforgivable. Our system is broken. Beyond repair?
