Trump said it's okay for him to pardon Joe Arpaio because Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich

14. So Trump admitted that pardon Arpaio was the wrong thing to do?

Because that's the logical conclusion from that argument.

And while Marc Rich was a sleazy white collar criminal, to the best of my knowledge he never said, "Arrest everybody that looks Mexican, and we can sort out citizenship later." Because that's essentially what Arpaio was doing. Many people were locked up for days, weeks, and months and were never even accused of a crime. They just didn't have their wallets on them when the deputies decided to arrest literally every Latino in the building. Some of the Trumpsters are just plain racists (implicit and explicit), but I honestly believe many of them just know that "Sheriff Joe" was "tough on illegal immigration," with no understanding of what that actually entailed.
