Selective outrage. Showboating. Where is his outrage that millions are pouring across our border many of whom are hardened gang members. Many of whom may be terrorists? Many of whom molest children. Where is the outrage? Democrats are nothing but phonies.
FYI -
Le Page is a Republican, and democrats hate hate hate him. They think he’s stupid and crass.
In my limited experience of him, he’s a regular plain spoken guy.
What I don’t understand is why he is doing this. Either he’s showboating, i.e. looking for power in whatever he’s considering after the governership. Or, morel likely, h’e just pissed at the NFL - said so, and it made the papers.
More often, he’s out their saying that welfare recipients should be doing some kind of work in exchange for benefits. He’s always pissing off the democrats because he’s not polished politically. He states very obvious truths, without polish, and so of course the dems attack him as stupid, rather than face him on the issue itself.
My point: I suspect he’s just pissed that a wife beater’s NFL punishment virtually condone’s the behavior, and it made the papers. I’d be surprised if this is a thought-through political move, deserving of any deep commentary whatsoever - because I doubt there’s any deep thought behind the statement. Lizzy Warren might run this through 10 polling agencies. No so, LePage. That’s just my take. Who knows, maybe he’s turned to the dark side.
“I have always said Maine’s safety net should help our most needy citizens. These vulnerable Mainers include the elderly, children, disabled and mentally ill.
Hello. This is Governor Paul LePage.
Illegal aliens who choose to live in Maine are not our most vulnerable citizens. We need to take care of Mainers first. I think most Mainers would agree.”

LePage is a Republican, no?
I guess Portland won’t be getting an NFL team any time soon.
You don’t know what you are talking about.
Paul LePage is the REPUBLICAN governor of the State of Maine.
He was the Tea Party candidate.
He has a big mouth and is very much not politically correct.
He is famous for telling Obama to “kiss my ass”.
He is the former CEO of the excellent salvage/job lot discount chain Mardens.
He left home at age 11 after being beat up by his father and never looked back.
He has helped many many companies and businesses come to Maine to create jobs for Mainers.
He recently made a push for Maine to comply with federal laws that make it illegal for illegals to receive welfare.
We really really like Paul LePage in our house.
Mrs. AV
