Jan Brewer: Stop Calling Trump Supporters ‘Racists’ Just Because We’re ‘Racists

Talking Points Memo recaps a heated exchange between Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley and former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.

During a Sunday panel discussion on CNN’s “State of the Union,” former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) railed against President Obama and complained that Republicans are so frequently labeled bigots.

Brewer was responding from comments Obama made on Friday warning against “charlatans” and “bigotry,” likely referring to Donald Trump.

“President 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,” Brewer said. “To see a president speak like that is offensive.”

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) then jumped in to defend Obama.

“President Obama doesn’t say this about all Republicans. But he did say rightly that Donald Trump is a bigot, Donald Trump is a racist, Donald Trump is, in fact, making fascist appeals,” he said. “That’s why many self-respecting Republicans are not supporting Donald Trump.”

Later, when asked if Trump has said anything offensive, Brewer said that Trump is new to politics and has had to revise some remarks.

Half-Term Governor Of Alaska Criticizes Two-Term Governor Of Maryland

Yesterday, Sarah Palin (former half-term governor of Alaska) took to the safe haven of her Facebook page to criticize former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (who not only served his FULL term as governor, but ran for a second term, won, and served THAT term to it’s limit).

Yet another anti-freedom politician jumps in the race today for POTUS. As cool as he is with his rock ‘n roll persona, this typical liberal’s erroneous grasp of our Bill of Rights merely continues the strange and disastrous agenda of Barack Obama. Good to know he doesn’t have much chance of winning. The democrats have greased the skids for their chosen one, despite the media games that play the public with various “competing” campaigns used for gamey distractions.

With today’s more-of-the-same distract-sphere – with the politician sounding exactly like all the others – don’t you wonder if there are ANY good old fashioned Blue Dog democrats who can represent the left’s party in the 2016 race? I feel kind of bad for democrats who are as embarrassed about their party leaving them as some of us Republicans are about our own party when we hear the GOP talk a good game but dishonorably capitulate when given the majority power to stop Obama’s nonsense.

The old saying really is true: those who can, do; those who can’t, criticize.

For Palin to naysay from the sidelines is cowardly. She can jump in the race herself anytime she likes. The issue? She doesn’t “like.” It’s much more comfortable, safe, and more profitable to sit on the sidelines and tell everyone how they’re doing it all wrong.

O’Malley handled the statement with class. He invited her to have the courage of her convictions.

Which, of course, she doesn’t have. She knows she’d lose.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley Joins The 2016 Democratic Field

Former Governor of Maryland, Martin O’Malley, joined Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in the hunt for the 2016 Democratic party nomination for president today.

While he faces steep odds against Clinton, who’s ahead in all polls by huge numbers, I think it’s good to have some debate on where the Democratic party will go.

O’Malley calls for a “new leadership” as he promises to “rebuild the American dream.”
