This event of the pardon of Arpaio is completely consistent with Trump's internalized racism.  His words betray it, his actions show it, and his denials of being so is not believed by anyone.  This information - and clear information on many other issues of equality, acceptance and justice - has been out there since before he stepped in the ring of seeking a nomination.  We have no reason to be surprised.  This is just more of the same.  Get behind electing more Democrats in 2018 to re-establish a stronger counterpoint to DJT, and the GOP that is largely ineffective in slowing him down.
