Here's Gov. Paul LePage's Non-Apology for Comments About Drug Dealers "Impregnating" White Women

Source: Mother Jones

"You's don't like me and I don't like you."

That's how Gov. Paul LePage began his press conference on Friday to formally address the racially charged remarks he made this week about drug dealers with names like "D-Money" and "Smoothie" coming to "impregnate" young white girls in Maine........

"Instead of saying Maine women, I said white women," he added. "I'm not going to apologize to the Maine women for that because if you go to Maine, you will see we are 95 percent white."

LePage's seven minute, non-apology continued as he portrayed himself as a victim of blogging culture and the media. He specifically attacked MSNBC's Rachel Maddow for "going after" him for years and focusing only on the Republican governor's more unrefined and insensitive moments.

("You's don't like me....... is from Rocky, as if LePage has anything at all in common with the character).

The obvious solution would be to get that girl some better supervision.

in his state.

He is a disgrace. He should be recalled, then run out of the state on a rail.
