After Kaci Hickox wins court reprieve, LePage says he doesn’t trust her

Gov. Paul LePage expressed disappointment with the judge’s decision Friday, saying the state would nonetheless abide by law.

“She’s violated every promise she’s made so far, so I can’t trust her,” he said Friday, answering reporters’ questions after a press conference celebrating a business opening in Yarmouth. “I don’t trust her.”

Shortly after Friday’s court order was publicly released, two state police troopers who had been stationed outside Hickox’s Fort Kent home to monitor her movements drove away.

In his order, LaVerdiere noted the irrational fears of Ebola and “misconceptions, misinformation, bad science and bad information being spread from shore to shore in our country” about the virus. While writing that those fears remain unfounded, LaVerdiere urged Hickox to “demonstrate her full understanding of human nature and the real fear that exists.”

Boo fucking hoo Penguin

[sammy750]

1. Who trust LePage, The Tea Party Governor.

LePage has been a reckless leader and most likely be defeated his next election.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. What a SMUG ASSHOLE!!!

[randys1]

3. LePage threatened her life, on purpose, yesterday with that wink/nod "dont want her to get hurt"

comment, his way of saying to the public: "well, if she wont behave, you know what to do"

America is broken

[KingCharlemagne]

31. Glad you heard it also. Has to rank as one of most despicable public utterances

by any American elected official in the last 100 years, including the noxious Joe McCarthy and Ronnie "There will be blood in the streets" Reagan (said when RR was California governor after Kent State. in May, '70).

Positively floored me. And I'm not easily floored.

[crim son]

33. I DESPISE LePage but in this one instance I do not believe he intended any such thing.

Despite what everybody "knows," that the nurse isn't sick, people here in Maine are nonetheless extremely concerned about her going out in public, and Maine has its share of fools and rednecks who think violence is the answer to all of life's problems. I was worried about Ms. Hickox before Le Penguin said anything.

[KamaAina]

4. Michaud needs to get her on camera PRONTO

[Fred Sanders]

11. Yes. I believe the vast majority of voters are not in fear as the media paints, and would welcome

hope and compassion over fear and hate and stupidity.

I know it.

[elias49]

17. But they wont go get a pizza at the local pizza place

so what the fuck?
Compassion always works better from a distance, I guess.

[Thinkingabout]

5. She has blazed a trial for tjose who follows nit to have to be confined in Christie's tent.

[rocktivity]

6. His partner in crime Chris Christie is the one LePage shouldn't trust

What did he do, offer you a VP slot in exchange for imposing the same restrictions on her that she had escaped from him?

[diabeticman]

7. I hope others who have been forced into this Quarantine in Maine start challenging them in court as

well.

[Fred Sanders]

12. They do not have to challenge the law again, the judge just interpreted it. Done.

[diabeticman]

13. ah, thanks for clarifying.

[Fred Sanders]

15. As well, the defence department has clarified the law and is entirely with this judges ruling for

deployed personnel, separated as the law requires, civilian rights and enlisted army rights.

[LeftInTX]

8. Obviously, the judge trusts her

LePage needs to keep his mouth shut

[CanonRay]

9. It's probably mutual

although I can't speak for her.

[uppityperson]

10. What "promises" did she break and tough shit. Real Science exists too.

[FLPanhandle]

14. She should sue his ass

His remarks and his actions are stupid

[KingCharlemagne]

32. At some point, the Constitutional prohibition on 'Bills of Attainder' would

come into play, one would think, although the Constitution narrowly prohibits only the legislature, not the executive, from such actions.

I think a law suit against LePage for defamation and slander would do wonders to focus his mind. Or maybe not.

[DeSwiss]

16. ....

[Brigid]

22. !!!!

Is that your creation?

[DeSwiss]

24. Guilty!

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. I love this woman's courage

She puts up with no guff from Christie, no guff from Cuomo, no guff from that half-wit LePage. Fuck you, and you, and you. In the process, she flips off all the anti-science panic-mongers in the country: fuck you, too, you know-nothing motherfuckers. One of the primary ways ebola panic has been staunched in the last few days is through Ms. Hickox's courage and attitude - she's doing a public service in the meanwhile. That it drives the panic-mongers absolutely batshit crazy is just an added bonus.

I LOVE IT!!!!

[Brigid]

21. See my sig line.

[El Shaman]

19. Wow!! "........so I can’t trust her"

Talk about defamation of character!?

[neverforget]

20. "Boo fucking hoo Penguin"! LOL!!!

Awesome news for Hickox!

[Dawson Leery]

23. Paul LePage and Chris Christie are a greater threat than Ebola and ISIS combined.

What right does any elected official have to single out someone and hold them against their will?
It is not within their authority to do so.

[FiveGoodMen]

30. In a country that lets its president kill anyone, anywhere, without any due process...

"What right does any elected official have to single out someone and hold them against their will?"

They seem to think they have all the rights in the world (and we have none).

[Midnight Writer]

25. If she broke her quarantine and was arrested...

Wouldn't the arresting officers also need to be quarantined? How about the personnel at the jail? Wouldn't they need a special quarantine section to keep her? And how about the other prisoners? And she is living with her boyfriend, surely he is now a contamination risk. Along with her lawyer, her family and anyone else she has come into possible contact with. And now we would have to branch out into those families and everyone they might have come into contact with. That opens up another whole set of contacts that need to be quarantined.

If there are indeed only six degrees of separation, how long before Kevin Bacon is quarantined?

[freshwest]

26. When Kevin is quarantined...

THEY are coming for the rest of us!!

[Bandit]

28. Well it only stands to reason if they just quarantine Kevin Bacon first it would solve

EVERYTHING....

[Sienna86]

27. With they had such passion and action re school shootings

He is an idiot and I hope every Maine voter is taking note.

[Jack Rabbit]

29. Would you buy a used car from this man?
