On Monday, President Trump defended his decision to pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio by pointing out the actions of past Presidents– past actions MSM didn’t seem to have a problem with.

He said that in contrast to past pardons, Arpaio has been a force in fighting illegal immigration and supporting law enforcement.
Trump said President Obama pardoned FALN member Oscar Lopez Rivera and convicted U.S. military leaker Chelsea Manning.
He pointed out that President Clinton also pardoned investor Marc Rich, who he said illegally bought oil from Iran during the Hostage Crisis.
In 1983, Rich was convicted on 65 counts of tax evasion, wire fraud and his actions involving Tehran.
Trump surmised that Rich was pardoned because he gave “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
He noted that Clinton also commuted the sentence of Susan Rosenberg, a member of the Weather Underground militant group.
Unsurprisingly, liberals can’t look past the fact that President Trump “misgendered” Chelsea Manning. Please ignore Trump’s greater point. We have a full blown pronoun crisis on our hands!
Trump is purposefully misgendering Chelsea Manning on top of confusing a pardon with a commutation. Bigoted and stupid. https://t.co/tnKozX5IK6
