AOL; President Donald Trump should not have pardoned a former Arizona
sheriff who was convicted of criminal contempt in a case of racial
profiling, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul
Ryan, said on Saturday.
Trump announced on Friday he was pardoning
Joe Arpaio, an anti-immigration hardliner found guilty last month for
flouting a 2011 court order that barred officers from detaining Latino
motorists solely on the suspicion they were illegal immigrants.
"Law-enforcement
officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of
everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe
that responsibility is diminished by this pardon," Ryan said in a
statement.
Editor's notes: Never mind that this was a misdemeanor conviction. The fact is this: Arpaio's deputies actually stopped people for other reasons. When asked for their papers, the illegal non-citizen types, were arrested and given a court date. There was no profiling. The no-borders judge did not agree.
Ryan should know that a bogus, partisan, legal opinion does not change the fact that the sheriff was acting within the law.
Understand that Arpiao had been challenged by the legal system on a number of occasions over the years. In every case, he was proven to be within the law. On this final occasion, his officers, acting exactly as they had done before, lost the argument in court . . . . . proving, of course, the partisan nature of this "conviction."
Ryan should keep his mouth shut when he does not know what he is talking about. This is the same Paul Ryan who very recently defended Antifa as a peace keeping assembly of concerned citizens. Time for Ryan to be forced out of Congress. Maybe he is a globalist, after all, and in the same vein as Hillary or Barack Obama.
Yes, Ryan is now clearly in the way of the American agenda. Thanks for solidifying your true colors. We welcome legal immigrants; you welcome ILLEGAL immigrants. That is an irreparable gulf between us. Now let's primary your ass into oblivion.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw Mr. Speaker, entering this country illegally is a THREAT to to us all. You got that yet?? You are a bow-er an molly-coddler just like Obama. So for Mr. Speaker, it's apparently "America Second."
It's time to put Paul Ryan out on the curb.
This is just as much on the Republican members of the House who reelected him Speaker. They knew from his own words directly to them that he would not support Trump, yet they reelected him anyway. I called Steve King's office weeks before the vote and told them I was against Ryan for this reason and because he was ineffective as the current Speaker. I was told, there isn't anyone else running for Speaker. I suggested they find someone asap. And here we are..
