LePage public breakdown continues (in Boston)

“Nobody wants to listen,” LePage told State House News Service. “What I said was this: Meth lab arrests are white. They’re Mainers. The heroin-fentanyl arrests are not white people. They’re Hispanic and they’re black and they’re from Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts, Waterbury, Connecticut the Bronx and Brooklyn. I didn’t make up the rules. That’s how it turns out. But that’s a fact. It’s a fact. What do you want me to lie?”

if either the liberal indy or the Dem had bowed out, we never would have heard about Lepage. He would have been a has been, before he even started.

is that maybe black folks are too smart to do a rotten drug like meth. Just sayin, Governor Goofball, that maybe your prejudices are misplaced.

Besides, I know the population up there that is buying the smack you claim is being brought in by all those bad brown people from liberal areas outside your state. Maybe you need to focus on them and find out why they're so alienated and hopeless to have to turn to chemicals to numb the pain. Maybe your own policies have something to do with it.
