Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) wasn't just against President Donald Trump's pardon of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio--he went as far as to say that the pardon was a violation of the Oath of Office. On Twitter, Wyden said that pardoning Arpaio sent a message that as long as a person supports Trump, they will be permitted to break the law.
The Arpaio pardon says, if you are a law-enforcement official who supports Trump, break the law & he'll protect you.
This strikes at the heart of the rule of law in America. It violates his oath of office.
While Arpaio's pardon was controversial on both sides of the aisle, most members of Congress have admitted that Trump is well within his rights to issue the pardon. Most people, Wyden aside, do not believe that the pardon would violate the Oath of Office.
Arpaio was convicted of contempt and faced up to six months in prison. He served as sheriff of Maricopa County in Arizona until 2016, when he lost a reelection bid. Arpaio is known for his tough anti-illegal immigration stance.
FUWyden...did you go full retard traitor when your god, Oshitass, did it?
But they encourage 20 million illegals.
This idiot shouldn’t be in the senate.
Hasn’t Wyden always been an imbecile? (The drooling may have started more recently.)
The Democrats are foul garbage but we have to put up with them because the Republicans say nothing or even worse the Republicans agree with them. I will not listen to any Philippine democrat or republican talk about the law so long as they have encouraged and allowed millions of illegals.
There needs to be a test set up to stop people so ignorant of the Constitution being allowed to take up office.
You need a license to drive a car and should need one to be able to legislate over the people of the Republic.
Autocorrect is my enemy I meant filthy Democrat above not Philippine Democrat.
The reason they hate this pardon so much is that they want to deny Trump any of the powers of the Presidency, with their deep state leaks and their investigations and their Rino critiques, and inability to pass legislation. When he refusts to accept the box they are trying to put him in, it really makes them mad. When he’s a good boy and lets them keep wasting lives and money in Afghanistan, they pat him on the head. The pardon required he be reminded he’s not really President.
Bump!
Another Senator that should be removed from All committee assignments and have his privileges suspended or revoked for “Conduct Unbecoming”.
Hey DipStick McConnell, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM HERE, it appears obvious you can not run your own house.
Wyden, Brown, Murray, Franken, Klobushar and so many other Rat senators are not only abject clowns and patently stupid, they fell obligated to remind everyone time and time again. Just shut the F up instead of constantly emphasizing your stupidity.
Was he raging when Obama pardoned the traitor Bradley Manning?
Not only does Wyden have the IQ of an ashtray, he knows absolutely nothing about oaths.

Autocorrect is my enemy
It appears to be the enemy of just about everyone over 50, you know the ones that got books in school instead of condoms.
The entire democrat party is a RICO outfit.
Did you mean “Philistine?”
Why not? The Senate is entirely composed of idiots.
I’d bet Wyden applauded the sicko Manning.
