She felt “threatened.” It was a “tense” situation. It helped her book sales. Yes, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is quite the little story teller.
It’s basically the same story as told in D.W. Griffith’s classic (and socially execrable) 1915 film, “Birth of a Nation.” It played well with the conservative crowd. The story of the poor little blond white woman being threatened and harassed by the big bad Black man.
And just like “Birth of a Nation,” Jan Brewer’s story was largely fiction, if slightly less racist. Times were different in 1915. Well, except in the Governor’s mansion it would seem.
But man, did it give her book sales a kick in the keester!
