Even AZ's dumbest Governor ever (and that IS saying something) says The Con should "tone it down"

source: AZCentral

Former Arizona Gov. Brewer on Trump: 'I wish he would tone it down'

"'''
'''
Anchor Don Lemon said to Brewer, “... you told my producer you said … that Hillary Clinton — you believe that his opponent is spinning his words — but you also said that you wished that he would be more careful with his own words.”

Brewer responded, “Well I do. I do wish that he would be more careful with his words, and I don’t know if that’s possible or not, but I think that it would be well-received.

“I said that I wish he would tone it down, but that comes from not being a politician — you just say things, and you don’t realize that when you say things, that … the whole world is hearing it.”

As if there is some tribe of cannibals somewhere in which the "smart ones" say "Let's just tell the visitors we are inviting them to dinner, and 'tone down' the 'We're going to eat you' part."

It's not the "tone", dumbshits.

Evan Mecham was the 17th Governor of Arizona.

While governor, Mecham became known for statements and actions that were widely perceived as insensitive to minorities. Among these actions were the cancellation of the state's paid Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and creating an unpaid King holiday on a Sunday, attributing high divorce rates to working women, and his defense of the word "pickaninny", in describing African American children.

Although AZ keeps electing them.

Mecham cost them a Super Bowl and numerous conventions and concerts.

Again, as someone who grew up in the AZ, they have some hate issues. I think it comes down to running out of beer while standing in the pool and having to make the 1/2 mile trip to the nearest Circle K to reload.
