Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer called President Barack Obama “thin skinned” following an intense exchange during his trip to the state on Wednesday.

In a phone call to a Phoenix radio talk show after the exchange, Brewer said the president didn’t like the way she wrote about him in her recently published book.

“I asked him if he had read my book, ‘Scorpions for Breakfast.’ And he said that he read an excerpt and he didn’t think that I was very cordial,” Brewer said in the phone call to KFYI’s Mike Broomhead. “I said, ‘Well, we’ll just agree to disagree.’ And , uh, he was somewhat thin skinned and a little tense to say the least.”
