CNN contributor Ana Navarro reacted on Sunday after President Donald Trump announced he would pardon Arizona ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio,who is known for his harsh enforcement and anti-immigrant actions."For the huge majority of Latinos, Joe Arpaio is a symbol of racism, or " Navarro explained to CNN host Jake Tapper on Sunday. "Of anti-immigrant sentiment and abuse of power. And this is the guy that Donald Trump chose to pardon."Navarro argued that the president was sending a unsafe message to law enforcement: "Here,government officials are held accountable for when they behave like thugs. The message that he's sending with this pardon to other government officials, to other law enforcement officials is a very bad message."Former Trump adviser Michael Caputo disagreed because he said that President Barack Obama had "weaponized" the Department of Justice against Arpaio. "We're not going to stand for political persecution, or " he insisted."It's his right to pardon," Navarro agreed. "He took extraordinary steps, he did not choose the advice of the Justice Department. And another message that he's sending... you know, and this issue that's been reported that he asked [Attorney General] Jeff Sessions if they could drop the case against Arpaio. That is bone-chilling. And let us remember that James Comey told us exactly the same thing."read more
