Donald Trump pardoned fellow white supremacist, Joe Arpaio. Sadly, he was never charged with his most egregious offenses, including torture, violations of Constitutional rights, and even murder. It is highly possible that Arpaio is an even worse person than Trump; but it’s close.

The 85-year-old Arpaio is running for the senate in Arizona. First of all, he is 30-40 years too old to represent the people of his state. Secondly, there are already too many racists and bigots on the right wing in our government. Lastly, he recently proved that he is mentally unfit to serve in our government.

This is Arpaio’s top priority if the people of Arizona lose their minds and elect him. He will renew Trump’s ‘birther’ claims. The dirty old man claims that President Barrack Obama’s birth certificate is a “phony document.”

“No doubt about it, we have the evidence, I’m not going to go into all the details, yeah, it’s a phony document,” Arpaio told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “Cuomo Primetime.”

Okay, Trump is crazy; Kellyanne Conway is crazy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is crazy; Steve Bannon is crazy; Alex Jones is crazy; Steve King is crazy; Stephen Miller and others are crazy; and then there’s Joe Arpaio.

Where can we find a single Republican who cares about our nation’s problems? They are more involved in their personal causes than the future of the American people. Time for change, and time for voters to reject old, right wing extremists. Our government must be fixed, and this can only happen if Republicans are voted out of office. They have proven themselves to be incompetent and self-serving.

I urge all young women and men to run for public office. At age 25 you can become a member of the House. Think about it; you could begin the change which saves our nation.

Start by voting and urging others to do the same on November 6^th. This country belongs to the people, not to failed politicians.
