CNN strategist: Joe Arpaio advising Trump on immigration law — 'the man is a national disgrace'

"I actually don't think much of Joe Arpaio," Cardona told CNN host Victor Blackwell on Sunday. "The man is a national disgrace. And that’s not just me talking, today The Washington Post had a scathing editorial about this man who has continually flouted the law.
