Politico: Jay Nixon frustrated, exhausted
Gov. Jay Nixon is tired and looking for answers following the Ferguson crisis, Politco reports.
The story echoes similar reports in other media: the Democrat, with little political capital in the state’s African American community, has struggled to respond to the outbreak of violence following the death of a teenager shot by a police officer.
From the story: “This is a complicated issue and this is an issue that he doesn’t know anything about, really,” (said state Rep. Tommie Pierson, Democrat). “He hasn’t lived in this community.”
