Sheriff Joe doesn't understand the law, so why not make him a lawmaker?

To reemphasize a point I’ve made about Chelsea Manning: just because you can run for public office, it doesn’t make you fit to serve public office.

This logic cannot be applied more perfectly than for former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who announced earlier this month his intention to run for the U.S. Senate seat in Arizona to replace Jeff Flake after he retires. In an interview on Friday with Ari Melber on MSNBC, Arpaio was asked about the presidential pardon he accepted from President Trump in August 2017 for his contempt of court misdemeanor conviction of not following court orders of wrongful detainment and imprisonment.
