The Arizona Republic newspaper's editorial board said Trump's pardon showed the president entirely accepted institutional racism. "By pardoning Arpaio, Trump made it clear that institutional racism is not just OK with him. It is a goal," the board wrote. The pardon, they wrote "elevates Arpaio once again to the pantheon of those who see institutional racism as something that made America great." http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/editorial/2017/08/25/donald-trump-resurrects-joe-arpaio-irrelevance/604067001/
