2:42Now PlayingDid Alex Jones play a role in Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s pardon by Trump? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“As President Donald Trump reportedly was preparing to issue his first pardon—to convicted Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio—the notoriously anti-immigrant Arizona sheriff was crediting a bucket line of right wing bloggers and broadcasters for getting his story to Trump’s attention.
Arpaio, who unapologetically ordered racial profiling of Latinos in the Phoenix area for years, was convicted of criminal contempt of court last year and faces six months in jail. In November, he lost his bid to be re-elected a seventh time.
His career was marked by repeated allegations of discriminatory policing. During his 20 years as sheriff, Arpaio organized massive stings on Latino drivers and hunts for illegal immigrants; and he operated a tent-city county jail that he himself likened to a concentration camp, in which convicted inmates endured medieval conditions, including 120-degree desert heat that melted shoes. He weathered an abuse of power investigation when the U.S. Department of Justice in 2012 closed a probe into whether he had targeted his political enemies with public corruption cases.”
