Bigot is upset for being treated like a bigot for supporting Trump

"During an explosive CNN segment on Sunday, former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) lashed out at President Barack Obama because she said she was tired of being called a “bigot” for supporting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump."

not that we didn't know this already. Jan Brewer should be ashamed of all she's done throughout the years to promote racism. Her actions have needlessly hurt a lot of people. Years ago, racists were reviled after a long period of their being given carte blanche to commit their heinous acts without fear of punishment. The noble people of the world called them out on their unacceptable behavior and they retreated under rocks and hid in crevices. For some reason, racists pieces of sh*t have been given cover by the Republican party so they feel comfortable rearing their ugly heads again. Let's all make sure they recede back to the dark places where they belong, never to be seen again. It is not okay to be a racist.

You do realize there are independents leaning Trump that we can (if we're not total assholes) still win over, right?

13. Pres. Obama: "we don’t have time for hatred and we don’t have time for bigotry"

Spot on President Obama!

.....At a fundraiser for Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) on Friday, Obama took a shot at Trump.
ADVERTISING

“We don’t have time for charlatans and we don’t have time for hatred and we don’t have time for bigotry and we don’t have time for film-flam,” the president said. “And we don’t have the luxury of just popping off and saying just whatever comes to the top of our heads. Don’t have time for that.”

The comments appeared to hit a nerve with Brewer when she was asked about them during a panel segment on CNN.

She at least has the sense enough to realize that being called a bigot is a bad thing, and not a compliment to be embrased.. So there's at least a first decent step in the right direction. It's also one step ahead of many of her fellows on her side.

Now if only she could get to that second step on the bigots anonymous recovery program.. Start recognizing her bigoted behavior and the bigoted behavior of those she supports.

Am I really seeing Hillary supporters attacking Brewer's looks, Brewer's voice, and calling her a witch?

She's a bigot, not a misogynist's punching bag.

It's neither slander nor libel to tell her the truth about herself. She has the right to say she's mad about it - but she can't force people to not speak the truth. She's just awful. What a miserable vile human being. And good on O'Malley for jabbing at her.
