   Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., blasted President Donald Trump's   
   decision to pardon a former Arizona sheriff who was accused of   
   racially profiling Latinos.   
      
   McCain's office released a statement early Saturday morning that   
   explained the lawmaker's views on Trump's full pardon of former   
   Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.   
      
   "No one is above the law and the individuals entrusted with the   
   privilege of being sworn law officers should always seek to be   
   beyond reproach in their commitment to fairly enforcing the laws   
   they swore to uphold," McCain said.   
      
   "Mr. Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt for continuing   
   to illegally profile Latinos living in Arizona based on their   
   perceived immigration status in violation of a judge's orders."   
      
   McCain said Trump had the power to grant the pardon, "but doing   
   so at this time undermines his claim for the respect of rule of   
   law as Mr. Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions."   
      
   The White House announced Trump's pardon of Arpaio late Friday,   
   which prompted lawmakers to criticize the move.   
      
   "Regarding the Arpaio pardon, I would have preferred that the   
   President honor the judicial process and let it take its   
   course," said Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.   
      
   RINO Jeff Flake is a pussy.
