Jan Brewer Clarifies Clinton “Lying Killer” Remark: It Was A “Stumble Of The Tongue”

“People want a fighter. They’re tired of the lying killer, uh, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clintons of the world,” Brewer told Mac & Gaydos on KTAR News, the audio of which was first reported by Mediaite.

Former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer says she suffered a “stumble of the tongue” on Tuesday when she seemed to call Hillary Clinton a “lying killer” during a radio interview.

When reached by phone by BuzzFeed News on Wednesday, Brewer said she just mispronounced Clinton’s name.

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

“I’m telling you it was a mispronunciation,” Brewer told BuzzFeed News on Wednesday.

Trump mouth makes you say things that you don't really mean to say, then you try to deny is later once you realize others heard what you said.

At the Oscars two years ago, when John Travolta was introducing Idina Menzel, who was to perform "Let it Go" from Frozen, he mispronounced her name as 'Adele Dazeem.'

I'm just as human as Gov. Bedpan Sewer, so I can maybe believe that she might have misspoke.

Rethug Governors. Seems to be some Stupid Statement running out of mouths of at least one on a daily basis. Tons of the anti Democratic Party garbage emulates from this region especially Phoenix.

Any semblance of honor and decency anymore ? What kind of upbringing did they have to make them turn into such despicable human beings? My parents would be appalled if I ever disrespected someone like that, and in turn would be disgracing them with my asinine behavior.
