Republican strategist Ana Navarro ripped President Donald Trump's decision to pardon former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, slamming it as "a slap in the face for most Latinos."

"Part of me is not surprised," Navarro, who supported former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush during the presidential primary, told John Berman on CNN. "At this point, I don't expect anything positive out of Donald Trump.

"Part of me is shocked, shocked that in a week where there's been the backlash after Charlottesville, in a week where he just now signed the order banning transgenders.

"It's like this guy all he wants to do is represent the 34 percent base," she said.

"He's not the president of the United States of America. He's the president of the divided states of America.

"All he wants to do is pit Americans versus Americans," Navarro said. "He's got to know what it means to the Latino community to pardon Joe Arpaio.

"It is a slap in the face for most Latinos."
