Jan Brewer

[[File:Jan Brewer.jpg|thumb|The [[Fractal wrongness]] queen herself.]]{{uspolitics}}
'''Jan Brewer''' {{lived|1944}} was the lunatic [[Republican]] governor of [[Arizona]]. She "served" as governor of the state from January 21, 2009 to January 5, 2015, and is most renowned for signing into law the infamous [[Illegal immigration|SB 1070 bill]] that would inevitably promote [[racism]].<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/supreme-court-rules-on-arizona-immigration-law/2012/06/25/gJQA0Nrm1V_story.html?hpid=z1 Supreme Court upholds key part of Arizona law for now, strikes down other provisions], ''Washington Post''</ref>  When [[Godwin's Law|compared]] to [[Nazi]] officer Heinrich Himmler, she took offense because she said her father died [[World War II|fighting the Nazis]]. Turns out this was straight-up [[bullshit]] as he actually died of lung [[cancer]] a decade after the war ended.<ref>https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2010/06/arizona-governor-jan-brewer-caught-in-a-liea-lie-about-nazis</ref><ref>https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2010/06/02/brewers-comments-on-fathers-death-criticized/</ref>

==Positions==
Governor Brewer was arguably one of the more extreme conservative governors in the country. She believes that the [[Endangered species|Endangered Species]] Act is ''harmful'' for the environment (but [[oil|offshore drilling]] is A-OK!) and that the [[United Nations]] Human Rights Council is made up of a bunch of [[dictator]]s. Her pro-[[gun]] voting record has earned her an A+ rating from the [[National Rifle Association]].

In May of 2012, Brewer signed a controversial bill which allows an employer to deny [[birth control]] to any woman on [[religious]] grounds. This is a state version of the [[Blunt amendment]].  If a woman is taking the pill for [[medical]] reasons, she must prove this to her employer by providing her medical records on that issue: it's not enough for an MD to simply write a note.

Her [[stopped clock]] moment came on April 18, 2011, when she vetoed a [[Birther]] bill. A second occurred in June 2013 when she came out in favor of [[Obamacare]]. The hat trick came in February 2014 when she vetoed (after tremendous pressure by big business) a bill that would allow businesses to [[Jim Crow|deny service to gays on religious grounds]].

She has openly supported [[Donald Trump]]. 

==Possible Vice Presidential Nomination==
She has stated an interest in being the GOP nominee for [[Vice President]] in [[2016 U.S. presidential election|2016]]. As quoted by [[Yahoo]] News, "I would be willing to serve in any capacity that I could be of help with [[Donald Trump|Donald]] on", Brewer said. Ultimately, [[Mike Pence]] got the job.
