In what reality is convicted Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio " a tireless champion of .... the rule of law?"

In what reality is convicted Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio " a tireless champion of .... the rule of law?"

Vice President Pence visited Arizona yesterday and at an event introduced former Maricopa County Sheriff and convicted felon Joe Arpaio as "a great friend of this president, a tireless champion of strong borders and the rule of law."

While that statement will surely benefit the likely Democratic Candidate to replace Jeff Flake in the United States Senate, Kyrsten Sinema, to even say publicly that Joe Arpaio champions the rule of law is an insult to all the law enforcement individuals who work every day to make sure we are all safe.

This is another example of how reactionary and extremist the Party of Lincoln has become. When this felon and opportunistic birther (the other issue he and the President bonded on. We are still waiting for their people to report what they found in Hawaii. Here is a tip. Do not hold your breath.) is still accepted as a viable candidate for the Republican Senate Nomination, it shows how rotted out the principles of the Republican Party are. Democrats should take advantage of this as they work to make Arizona Purple.
