One day after an audio popped up incriminating Maine’s Republican governor for saying 90% of drug dealers are black and Hispanic, a second video was posted on Friday exposing even more extreme racist and dangerous hate speech. Here is the text is the short 34-second video along with the text where Gov. LePage is basically saying to shoot the enemy — and the enemies are blacks and Hispanics.
“That guy’s a bad guy. I don’t care what color he is. When you go to war. If you know the enemy, the enemy dressed in red and you dress in blue, you shoot at red — don’ t shoot! Kem, you’ve been in uniform. You shoot at the enemy. You try to identify the enemy. And the enemy right now, the overwhelming majority of people coming here (to the United States) are people of color, or people of hispanic origin.”
And then we have this video, also posted on Friday, of Gov. LePage coming “unhinged” in a voicemail to a U.S. lawmaker:
Paul LePage has unleashed an obscene tirade on a Democratic legislator, leaving him a voicemail message that said "I am after you" and telling reporters he wished he could point a gun right between the legislator's eyes. Drew Gattine of Westbrook told The Associated Press that LePage sounded unhinged in the Thursday morning voicemail. In the voicemail, LePage said he wanted to talk with Gattine about the legislator calling him a racist. LePage was accused of making racially insensitive comments Wednesday at a town hall in North Berwick, where he said photos he had collected in a three-ring binder of drug dealers arrested in the state showed that more than 90 percent of them are black or Hispanic.
Here is the “unhinged” audio/video.
So why is he still in office? Why are hardworking American taxpayers still paying his salary?
