Representative Steve King defended the pardon of Joe Arpaio during a heated exchange with Don Lemon, arguing that the conviction was based on "judge-made law" rather than a specific statute. Lemon countered by citing CNN's legal experts who claimed the pardon undermines the rule of law. The debate highlighted the divide between those who see Arpaio as a victim of political persecution and those who view him as a lawbreaker who defied the judiciary.
