Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., expressed his dismay at President Trump’s decision to pardonformer Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday.
“Regarding the Arpaio pardon, I would have preferred that the President honor the judicial process and let it take its course,” Flake said in a tweet.
However, Dr. Kelli Ward, who is the only Republican running against Flake for his Senate seat in the 2018 election, praised Trump for pardoning Arpaio.
“Thank you, @RealDonaldTrump so glad you #pardoned @RealSheriffJoe – a patriot who did the job the Feds refused to do #StopIllegalImmigration,” Ward tweeted.
