Phoenix Mayor Stanton to Trump: Don't Come to Phoenix to Pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio

[DesertRat]

“I am disappointed that President Trump has chosen to hold a campaign rally as our nation is still healing from the tragic events in Charlottesville," Stanton said in a statement released Wednesday. "If President Trump is coming to Phoenix to announce a pardon for former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, then it will be clear that his true intent is to enflame emotions and further divide our nation.

"It is my hope that more sound judgment prevails and that he delays his visit," Stanton added, noting that the president is perfectly within his rights to lease the Convention Center for an event.

Arpaio has been convicted of criminal contempt of court and is due for sentencing on Oct. 5. Trump said earlier in the week that he would consider a pardon for Arpaio's federal conviction, and Arpaio said he would welcome it.

1. I hope he doesn't come here but

the shithead likes to show how much bigger of a shithead he can be when his victimology goes into high gear so he'll do more 'hey, fuck everyone.' If he does come - which I think he will and pardon his fellow shithead - then I guess I will be driving to the valley that day.

I hardly ever say or use the word but I used shithead three times in two sentences. Ahh, the trump era

2. I rarely cursed before the trump era

Now I often use words I never thought I would.
