Jan Brewer slammed as she calls out MAGA election deniers claiming they are 'out of control' in Arizona
WASHINGTON, DC: Former Republican governor Jan Brewer, during an interview with The Guardian on July 5, called out MAGA election deniers claiming that they are "out of control" in Arizona, according to Raw Story.
Since Brewer took office as Governor of Arizona in January 2009, the state's political landscape has experienced notable changes. Arizona, traditionally viewed as a red state and a bastion of John McCain/Barry Goldwater conservatism, began to shift.
However, Arizona is now regarded as a swing state, akin to Pennsylvania or Virginia, with Democrats increasingly winning statewide elections compared to previous years.
Jan Brewer calls out MAGA election deniers claiming they are 'out of control'
However, far-right MAGA Republicans, who openly oppose McCain and Goldwater Republicans and are involved in conspiracy theories and election denial, currently dominate the Arizona Republican Party.
In 2022, Kari Lake, a candidate for the US Senate seat left vacant by Sen Kyrsten Sinema, an independent who was once a Democrat, advised "McCain Republicans" to "get the hell out" of a GOP gathering.
Brewer said during the interview, "You have to stand up and defend the integrity of our electoral system because that's what unites us. It's so important that people understand that…. I just hope that we get our state back together and that we preserve our democracy and we save our Republican Party, because obviously this is destroying it."
She added, "And if they want Republicans elected, then they've got to accept that how that happens is through elections. And we've got to assure them, and they've got to realize, that our elections are fair — or we won't have Republicans elected."
When questioned by The Guardian, Brewer vehemently denied believing that Donald Trump was cheated out of the 2020 presidential election.
She said, "We're hearing these conspiracies, as far as I'm concerned, about elections being stolen…. The claims are just outrageous. And the abuse of some of those elected officials, like the board of supervisors and the county recorder and the election workers at the polling places — it's just been awful."
She added, "Why would anybody want to serve?.... This is ruining the Republican Party at this point in time."
Internet weighs in as Jan Brewer calls out MAGA election deniers
Several internet users expressed their views as Jan Brewer criticized MAGA election deniers, describing them as "out of control" in Arizona.
Some online comments read, "You let them, you helped them, and they are you. Looks like Republicans need to vote BLUE," while one added, "Too dumb to realize her finger wagging disrespect of a former president was but an integral thread of the fabric that is maga." [sic]
A person also stated, "Jan Brewer helped create this monster. She had a material role in creating this entire mess," whereas one mentioned, "This is the same Jan Brewer who shook her finger under Barrack Obama's nose at the airport? The same Jan Brewer who was a complete beach at the memorial for those killed by a gunman."
A user added, "Just NOW figuring that out? Wow a little late to the game here."
