ACLU Deputy Legal Director Cecillia Wang said:

”With his pardon of Arpaio, Trump has chosen lawlessness over justice, division over unity, hurt over healing. Once again, the president has acted in support of illegal, failed immigration enforcement practices that target people of color and have been struck down by the courts. His pardon of Arpaio is a presidential endorsement of racism."

Trump is officially doing everything he can to make the US worse. He's actively trying to go down as the worst president in history.

Why are presidents even allowed to pardon anyone? It's just used as a bullshit get out of jail free card for their buddies. Or himself.

White House is on point today. Using the Hurricane as cover to do their dirty work.

Glad I refreshed before posting because I literally wrote the exact same thing. Sweeping this news under the weekend news cycle AND under the hurricane. Using the lives and safety of millions of the gulf coast as political leverage. Fucking disgusting.
