Progs go into apoplectic shock as Pence hails Arpaio as ‘champion' of ‘rule of law'
[The Hill] Vice President Pence praised former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of contempt of court, as a "tireless champion of ... the rule of law" during an event in Arizona on Tuesday.

Pence said at the tax event that he was "honored" by the former sheriff’s attendance, and called Arpaio a "great friend of this president and tireless champion of strong borders and the rule of law," to cheers from the crowd.

President Trump last year pardoned Arpaio, a vocal supporter of his on the campaign trail, after he was convicted of contempt of court for refusing to stop racially profiling Hispanic people at traffic stops for immigration checks.

Arpaio, who is running for retiring Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-Ariz.) Senate seat, filed an appeal in January to have the conviction cleared.

#1 Just a small remainder for the Left. You're shocked by Trump - but Trump is a classical liberal. Pence is a Roundhead.

#2 Arpaio's crime was that he had the audacity to claim and go about trying to prove that Barry Soetoro was not born in the USA. Wouldn't it be a hoot if this were true? Vindication is often sweeter than revenge.

I'd bet good money Soetoro held at least two passports.

I, on the other hand, bet that Kenyan father was invented to get Barry into university.

This. American and Indonesian, courtesy of his step-father. I can’t imagine that he actually got a Kenyan passport through his father — he didn’t go there until he was an adult.

#7 I doubt he was able to tour Karachi, Pakistan for 3 weeks on an American Passport. This visit came soon after visiting his mother in Indonesia, some time in 1981. By the way, the trip was never mention in his campaign.

#9  I keep hoping that some intelligence agency has a sample of Obama's DNA.

#10 #9, never happen. The family mafia is doing what it has always wanted to do. This is there home now.

#11 He doesn’t look much like Davis or Obama. However, he’s a black spitting image of his maternal grandfather. I subscribe to the theory that he’s the love child of said grandfather and some black hooker, conveniently “adopted” by his “mom”. I’d love to see the DNA, in any case.

#12  Just to remind everyone that it is difficult not to leave one's DNA lying around. DNA from cigarette butts has been used to ID crooks.
