In an editorial Friday, the Portland Press Herald offered an apology to America for its Gov. Paul LePage.
“Dear America: Maine here. Please forgive us – we made a terrible mistake. We managed to elect and re-elect a governor who is unfit for high office,” the editorial began.
LePage has made comments blaming minorities for bringing a drug crisis to Maine, something that the Portland Press Herald wrote had taken a toll on the state’s reputation for being open to new business and growth.
“LePage knows that his words are widely understood to mean that he thinks that the color of their skin makes some people more likely to commit crimes. Rather than clarify or withdraw those statements, he repeats them,” the newspaper’s editorial board wrote.
However, there is some silver lining.
“On the bright side, America, Le- Page isn’t going to be governor forever, and when his successor takes office in 2019, Mainers of all political parties will have to work together to fix the damage he has done to our reputation. We hope that this person will be a leader who will welcome people of all races to live in Maine, and invest in our wonderful state,” the editorial board wrote. “Until then, please accept our apology. We’ll try not to do it again.”
LePage made headlines again Friday for a bombaastic, explicit and threatening message he left on state Rep. Drew Gattine’s phone
In the message, LePage told Gattine, who he accused of calling him a racist, that “I want you to prove that I’m a racist.”
““You … I need you to, just friggin. I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you,” LePage said.
Gattine told CNN that he never accused LePage of being a racist.
He just gets worse and worse…
Attention, Governor Dickbag: If all the people in the Drug Binder are minorities, and over 95% of Maine is white folks, then…WHO’S BUYING ALL THE DRUGS?
ProTip: The Buyers are why there are sellers, dipshit!
And if we elect Trump, America will be making the same apology to the world at large. Let this serve as a warning.
When I saw it on Maddow last night, I thought the most telling bit about that whole thing was when he said ‘you know the enemy wears red, and you wear blue… you were in the service, you know what I mean’ as if we’re still fighting the Napoleonic-era British Army. This guy has absolutely no clue about anything. He is literally hundreds of years out of touch with reality, and seems to think that’s just fine and dandy.
Way too late Maine! He already shat his pants and now you want to clean it up?
Good luck with that shatstain of a Governor.
He’s just really bad at ‘coding’ things. He wants to scream “N***ER!” at the top of his lungs and he can’t – and this is the best he can come up with as an alternative.
He’s dumb. Really, really dumb. Low-brow. Lacking intellectual capacity. Poor at mental processes. The opposite of clever. Deficient in subtlety. He’s an even cruder, less transparent version of Trump.
And let me say again, since I never miss an opportunity to point this out…THANKS A LOT, Eliot Cutler.
