Drudge had a headline earlier today that said Brewer refused to see Napolitano, but I see it's been removed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````` Brewer: Napolitano turning 'blind eye' By: Andy Barr April 29, 2010 08:27 AM EDT Arizona GOP Gov. Jan Brewer accused Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Wednesday night of "turning a blind eye to Arizona." Brewer assumed Arizona's governorship in early 2009 after Napolitano, a Democrat, was appointed to the cabinet by President Barack Obama. Napolitano has recently spoken out against the state's new immigration law that Brewer signed last Friday and as governor vetoed similarly tough immigration enforcement measures. Asked if she has ever picked up the phone to appeal for help from Napolitano for more security at the border during an interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, Brewer said that she had not and then launched into an attack on the former governor. "She obviously is turning a blind eye to Arizona," Brewer said of Napolitano. "She understands what the situation is. She wrote numerous letters when she was governor to the administration, looking for help and some relief." Brewer said that Napolitano's criticism of the Arizona law is "politically" motivated by an administration that does not want to address immigration. The Arizona governor also said that President Barack Obama was "wrong" when he called the new law "misguided," and she insisted it does not amount to racial profiling. "I have a responsibility to the people of Arizona. And I'm sure he's concerned because of the brouhaha and over-dramatic comments about racial profiling," she said of the president. "I made perfectly clear when I signed the bill that we would not tolerate racial profiling. It's illegal." politico.com
