Paul LaPage is a real jerk:
BRIDGTON, Maine — Maine’s Republican governor says out-of-state drug dealers are impregnating “young white” girls.
Gov. Paul LePage made the remark while talking about the state’s heroin epidemic Wednesday. He described out-of-state drug dealers as “guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty” and said “half the time they impregnate a young white girl before they leave.”
LePage is white. He once told the Portland NAACP chapter to kiss his “butt” and said he’d tell President Barack Obama to “go to hell.” He’s also likened the IRS to the Gestapo and called protesters “idiots.”
Moderate Republican and LePage critic Lance Dutson describes the governor’s comment about drug dealers as “blatantly racist.” He accuses the governor of “fearmongering.”
Hat-tip to Tatiana Mendez, who can be found either running trails with her dogs or defending clients in court.
LePage corrected himself today, “Instead of ‘white girl’ I should have said ‘Maine girl.’ By the way Maine is 95% white.”
The funny part about LePage is that he’s not untypical of most American politicians. It’s just that unlike them he doesn’t think before he speaks. But what he, and they, believe is pretty much the same.
At least trump tells us that we’re stupid. Which you have to be in order to buy what he’s selling.
“Stupid is as stupid does”
Not unlike what the white dogs did when they first visited here: kill off the locals with drugs (alcohol) and knock up the little girls.
