Arizona Governor Wrongly Claims Father Died Fighting Nazi Germany



Gov. Jan Brewer is the latest political figure to come under fire for making conflicting statements about military service. In this case Brewer appears to have misstated her father's military record.

The Arizona Guardian reports:

Gov. Jan Brewer said in a recent interview that her father died fighting Nazi Germany. In fact, the death of Wilford Drinkwine came 10 years after World War II had ended. During the war, Drinkwine worked as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nev. He died of lung disease in 1955 in California.
Here's what Brewer initially told the Arizona Republic about her father's service record when reacting to the criticism she has received for enacting Arizona's new and controversial immigration law:

"The Nazi comments... they are awful," she said, her voice dropping. "Knowing that my father died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany, that I lost him when I was 11 because of that... and then to have them call me Hitler's daughter. It hurts. It's ugliness beyond anything I've ever experienced."
According to Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman, the Arizona governor "wasn't embellishing the story at all," telling the Guardian that Brewer's father ultimately passed away after inhaling toxic fumes while working at an ammunition factory during World War II. "You're reading something into this that isn't there," he said.

1. What a sham. Claiming her father died from a Nazi just to make her opposition look bad.

She has no class. None. At all.

make her 11. that part is right. she was eleven.

7. Most conservative I know have these glimpses into their...

hate-filled rhetoric and I think at moments so much hate scares them. They'll say anything to kinda
relieve these temporary squirms. Then most of these statements will be lies or absurdities.
