Jan Brewer Loses Her Sh*t During CNN Interview, Says She’s Not A ‘Bigot’ For Supporting Trump

Who?

Perhaps you’ve noticed that often when a person gets called out for something they know to be true, they get super defensive and start raving about how they aren’t at all like what you’ve accused them of being. That’s a sure sign that you’ve struck a nerve and identified the real issue.

The perfect example of this phenomenon can be found in former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” this morning for a panel discussion about presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, who Brewer has endorsed. The CNN host, Jake Tapper, brought up comments recently made by President Obama. The President remarked at a fundraiser for Jay Inslee, the Governor of Washington:...

“Obama just always comes tearing after Republicans constantly, calling names and calling people bigots and racists. And that’s their big comeback, you know. And it’s absolutely ridiculous. To see a president speak like that is offensive.”...

“We need to discuss policy. With President Obama and Hillary Clinton, every time you disagree with them, it doesn’t matter which subject it is, you’re a bigot or you’re a racist!”

5. I think that Brewer should let Trump deny that he's a bigot before she puts words in his mouth.

Trump has a right to weigh in on this kind of thing. I suspect that he might be happy with the label bigot.

The execution of a convicted murderer in Arizona lasted for nearly two hours on Wednesday, as witnesses said he gasped and snorted for much of that time before eventually dying.

This drawn-out death of Joseph R. Wood III in Arizona prompted the governor to order a review and drew renewed criticism of lethal injection, the main method of execution in the United States, just months after a high-profile botched execution in Oklahoma.

“I’ve witnessed a number of executions before and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Dale Baich, one of Wood’s attorneys, told The Washington Post in a phone call. “Nor has an execution that I observed taken this long.

is it for someone in the supposed god damned media to ask this one simple question.

Governor Brewer, for the record, can you provide one instance where President Obama or Hillary Clinton has called republicans bigots or racists?

I mean, it is that god damned simple, and it is that god damned important, because not calling that fucking shit out legitimizes it. Not calling it out implies that they actually said these words, and when these types of statements repeatedly are not challenged, it becomes reality to 1) jackass conservatives 2) the lazy as morons who don't pay attention and draw the assumption that because the media does not challenge these things they do in fact happen.

Because 1 and 2 at up to more than 50% of the voting public more often than not.
