Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer loves the spotlight and never misses a chance to get her name—and her mean-spirited policies—into the news cycle. Just consider her announcement on Aug. 15, the same day deferred action for DREAMers went into effect, which directed all state agencies to deny public benefits to anyone eligible for the new policy.
This week she's in Tampa for the Republican National Convention spewing her contemptible immigration position. Politics is the art of compromise and it's a necessity for any system of government to function properly—that is, unless you're Jan Brewer. Last night she denied any intention of getting to an agreement with immigration rights supporters. The Brewer administration appears to be a lost cause.
Watch it all go down in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow below.
