Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer changed her tone over the teacher walkout on KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Mac and Gaydos on Thursday.

“This is going to be a historic day in Arizona, whether it’s good or bad, it will be always remembered,” she said. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime.”

On Saturday, Brewer said she didn’t think a strike should happen.

“I don’t believe public employees — whether they be teachers or police officers or firemen — ought to strike,” she said then.

While Brewer didn’t directly advocate support for the strike on Thursday, she spoke in awe of the amount of people from different organizations who showed up to support the teachers.
