Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) said on Wednesday that her comment calling Hillary Clinton a “lying killer” was just a “mispronunciation” of the Democratic nominee’s name.

“I was trying to say Hillary Clinton,” Brewer told Buzzfeed News. “It was a stumble of the tongue.”

“Good grief,” she added.

On Tuesday, Brewer called Clinton a “lying killer” during a radio interview on Phoenix radio station KTAR.

“People want a fighter. They’re tired of the lying killer, uh Hillary Clinton and Bill Clintons of the world,” she said while arguing that Democrats cannot win Arizona, according to a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

    That’s one hell of a Freudian slip, you race-baiting drunken fuckwit.

    Oops, sorry, I meant to say Jan, not you race-baiting drunken fuckwit.

  2. Jan Brewer, that finger wagging, dried-up old c*nt!

    Opphs, musta’ been a slip-o-the-tongue…not!

    Maybe former governor Tan Fuckwad, er, Jan Brewer did make such a slip. See, I just did the same thing!

  4. A better and more accurate excuse would have been “I’m drunk”!

  5. She’s a disgusting pig.

    I’ll never forget when she scolded Obama on the tarmac with her finger wagging in his face.

    I won’t feel sad when she’s gone.
