Former Arizona Governor Dismisses Hispanics: ‘They Don’t Vote’

Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) dismissed the suggestion that Hillary Clinton could win her state in the presidential election, claiming that Hispanics there wouldn’t vote.

GOP nominee Donald Trump narrowly leads Clinton in Arizona ― a state that has traditionally voted for Republicans ― according to HuffPost Pollster. (One recent poll this week even showed her leading Trump in the state.) But there has been rapid growth in the number of eligible Hispanic voters in the state, which could be a problem for Trump, who launched his presidential campaign by calling Mexicans rapists and criminals.

Still, Brewer, who has endorsed Trump, said she wasn’t concerned with the Hispanic vote.

“Nah,” she told the Boston Globe. “They don’t get out and vote. They don’t vote.”

Well, there you have it. Brewer lets the cat out of the bag regarding Republican strategy. Why not make Hispanics the scapegoats, because they do not vote, so where is the downside.

1. I hope the hispanic community gets out taco trucks and piñatas for a voter celebration....

...The like of which has never been seen on Nov. 8th. Parties were everyone is wearing an "I voted" sticker, thus sticking it to bigots like Brewer.

And the GOP wonders why minority voters don't vote for them.

2. Republicans would like to stop them from doing so anyway.

They'll probably never stop trying. Yet another reason to make sure Hillary can appoint the next two justices.

3. I think she's in for a little surprise.

I certainly hope so.

4. Sounds like a worthwhile ad to me....I'd target it to Latino drive time radio and

prime time Spanish language tv, if it were my call to make.

5. Is that the same Jan Brewer

who stopped Medicaid funding for organ transplants to save $1.4 million while 98 patients were waiting for transplants?

8. It's also the same one who did this

In another post in this thread, I recommended that they make her comment into an ad and run it non-stop in TX, AZ, and FL. And I would probably throw NV in there too for good measure.

11. Boonnnne-finger!

(To the tune of Goldfinger).

21. You know I got my post hidden for saying the same thing about her

I listen to Stephanie Miller and heard them referring to her as that name.

22. Where do you think I got that from?

Mama is such a bad influence on us Dems.

19. That photo makes me angry.

Some show of "respect," 'eh, Jan?

[Retired George]

6. I knew it was Brewer

Fuck off, Jan, and go back to giving children nightmares!

[BumRushDaShow]

7. That should be an ad.

played endlessly in AZ, TX, & FL.

[Brother Buzz]

12. It WILL be an ad

Bank on it.

9. Yes we do.

And there's more of us every day.

16. A lot of my wife's family (she is Mexican American)...

who have never paid attention to politics or voted before are jumping on board. When tRump equated Mexicans to rapists, it lit a fire under their butts. The GOP may be in for a big surprise this year.

10. I love it when these assholes

do our job for us. Now if only she had of used the term "spic" or "wetback" it would have guaranteed a massive turnout.

[Liberalagogo]

13. Now there is

an actual "nasty woman".

[Astraea]

14. You keep thinking that, Jan.

Dumbass.

[Fahrenthold451]

15. I've never seen Latinos more mobilized in AZ.

Maybe Brewer had a point in 2004. (That's being very generous because Brewer is not really capable of making a lucid point). But it ain't 2004 anymore.

20. Welcome to DU, Fahrenthold451!

I LOVE your screen name! VERY clever! I bet David Fahrenthold is well on his way to being a Pulitzer Prize-winner. I hope so. He's done some GREAT work. Very much the "heir" of Woodward & Bernstein.

17. Keep talking, Jan...

and here is a shovel for you.

[WhiteHat]

18. Proof: Brewer's term as Gov. of AZ

Times change, Jan.

23. How are we going to miss Jan Brewer if she won't go away?

Jan, we knew ya more than we wanted. Give us some space.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

24. She does not realize is that there is a push

To help Latino voters to the polls, and before that ,getting people signed up for early ballots.
