Jan Brewer Comes to Trump's Defense: Backlash Over Charlottesville Just 'Sour Grapes'

[DonViejo]

Well, this was certainly an interesting defense of President Donald Trump’s “both sides” comment on the violence in Charlottesville.

In the wake of Trump’s much-maligned press conference in which he essentially defended the alt-right while throwing blame the “alt-left’s” way, former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer popped up on CNN Tuesday evening to act as loyal surrogate and faithful defender. And the way she saw it, the backlash against Trump due to the media and the left still harboring anger over his election win.

With political commentator Ana Navarro saying Trump is never going to change and that Republicans need to “stop giving him a damn chance,” Brewer shot back that there was nothing wrong with anything that the president said at his presser.

“But the fact of the matter is that all of this rhetoric is all sour grapes because it’s discontinually (sic) coming through the networks across our country, and he was dually elected,” she exclaimed. “He is the President of the United States, and for people to use some of the verbiage that they’ve used is destroying our –”

Anchor Don Lemon interjected, letting Brewer know that Navarro was a Republican, leading to the ex-governor to stammer. “I understand that,” Brewer stated. “Now you lost my — I lost my train of thought.”

[dalton99a]

9. That's how she became a RW hero.

Disgusting POS

[Catherine Vincent]

16. I remember that

Imagine if this was Hillary pointing her finger at a republican this way. She'd be dead by now.

[bdamomma]

4. no class whatsoever with her.

pointing her finger how rude.

[njhoneybadger]

5. She's back? I thought someone threw a bucket of water on her

6. Jan Brewer

Who claimed that her father died fighting Nazis:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/02/arizona-gov-jan-brewer-cl_n_598053.html

"Gov. Jan Brewer said in a recent interview that her father died fighting Nazi Germany. In fact, the death of Wilford Drinkwine came 10 years after World War II had ended. During the war, Drinkwine worked as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nev. He died of lung disease in 1955 in California."

13. Brewer's just another lying Republican.

They're confident their constituencies don't bother with fact checking.

[DetlefK]

7. Well, "dully elected". That's still being investigated... by Kobach.

We know that "somebody" hacked voter-databases.
We know that Trump lost the public vote.
We know that Trump himself is alleging that the election-result isn't trustworthy because there were millions of fraudulent votes.

[Atman]

26. Dully elected? Dually elected? Or Duly elected?

Any way you spell it, he's a racist pig.

[muntrv]

8. Jan, we're treating Trump with the same courtesy you gave Obama.

[procon]

10. She says it was "all sour grapes", but the protests

against the white power that she's defending, did not just start with Charlottesville. People have been denouncing these hate groups for more than 100 years, and they are still at it today, and they will continue on tomorrow, too.

The only "sour grapes" on display is the whining white supremacists who can't deal with reality and think they are entitled to privilege based solely on the color of their skin.

[world wide wally]

11. She wants in on the "Cabinet Roulette Game"

[DinahMoeHum]

12. G*d Don't Like Ugly. . .

. . .just sayin'

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Any doubts about whether or not the Republicans are going to come out and publicly denounce Trump

should quickly be laid to rest. It seems like denouncing White Supremacists and Trump's defense of them should be easy pickings even for Republicans but I guess not...........

[Catherine Vincent]

15. I was able to watch this last nite

That figures she would defend Crooked Trump at all costs.

[Mrs. Overall]

17. Jan left the TV station green room a mess before her interview:

I'm sorry, but she appeared drunk or medicated or both.

[BootinUp]

18. What a shock! /sarcasm

[HughBeaumont]

19. My grandfather actually fought Nazis.

By defending Schtroumpf, she disgraces their legacy and sacrifices.

[GallopingGhost]

20. Did anyone catch Navarro's dig at Brewer?

When she was speaking after Brewer, she told her that unlike her, she doesn't lose her train of thought.

Can't stand Brewer.

[surrealAmerican]

21. "Sour grapes"??

I don't think she understood that fable.

[yellowcanine]

22. Jan Brewer disrespected my President.

[CatWoman]

24. Gem found in that thread

The people telling me to get over an election loss that happened 8 months ago are the same one that can't get over a civil war loss from 152 years ago.

[ck4829]

27. Nice.

[ck4829]

25. The election's over Jan, get your train of thought, and step into the present. It's not 1861 anymore

[Blue Owl]

29. Sour grapes whine
