Maine Governor LePage: black and Hispanic people are 'the enemy'
Maine Governor Paul LePage, in a press conference on the 27th of August, once again made inflammatory statements about black and Hispanic drug dealers in the state, even while claiming their race didn't matter to him.
"Look, the bad guy is the bad guy, I don't care what color he is. When you go to war, if you know the enemy and the enemy dresses in red and you dress in blue, then you shoot at red.”
LePage addressed State House Minority Leader Ken Fredette (R-Newport), “Don't you - Ken 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 in, are people of color or people of Hispanic origin."
LePage is no stranger to controversy. His off-the-cuff and often over the top comments have been a constant part of his tenure. Early in his tenure as Governor, he refused to attend Martin Luther King Jr. events or to meet with representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

I didn't realize that it was going to turn into a theme night. 
However, Gov. LePage puts the "my" in myopia.
Unless maybe he's hosting a KKK rally. It's unbelievable that he can get away with saying such hateful things, but now it's coming from a national level! I don't think we can afford to wait for Christmas to start passing these out!
And pointing out the connection was irresistible...
