Yesterday President Trump pardoned former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security adviser to Barack Obama, went into full flack mode:
Obama used his pardon and commutation power to give a second chance to people who deserved empathy, not racists who showed none. https://t.co/KXhBQk5MHu

Traitors deserve "empathy".
Says all that needs to be said about Obama.

After the slime Obama pardoned, there should be NO outrage at Joe's pardon but… hey….whatever helps you sleep at night

Arpaio's an asshole.
I mean, he's no terrorist or traitor though so I could see where he's undeserving a pardon in your eyes. https://t.co/xRaDjDR8iH— Matthew Dempster (@dempstermd) August 26, 2017
