Trump: I'm 'seriously considering' pardoning Joe Arpaio.

*rolls eyes.

President Donald Trump said convicted former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio could receive his first presidential pardon.

“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” Trump said Sunday on Fox News. “He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot, and I hate to see what has happened to him.”

Arpaio, who was found in contempt of court late July for continuing racial profiling practices, said last week that he would accept a pardon from Trump, though he did not know at the time whether the president knew about his legal tangle. The 85-year-old faces up to six months behind bars.

Arpaio and Trump have a friendly history, and the sheriff in 2016 handled security for the then-candidate’s rallies after endorsing him earlier that year. The two hold similar viewpoints on how to handle immigration, and the former sheriff even spoke during the rallies.

“Is there anyone in local law enforcement who has done more to crack down on illegal immigration then Sheriff Joe?” Trump asked. “He has protected people from crimes and saved lives. He doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.”
