New controversy erupts over LePage comments about Muslim, Blacks, Hispanics

Source: Bangor Daily News

The Khans’ 27-year-old son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in 2004 by a suicide bomber while deployed in Iraq. The Khans have become nationally known and continue to speak out against Trump.

LePage doesn’t like it and said so Wednesday on the Howie Carr radio show, which you can hear by clicking here. LePage’s interview, which touched on several topics, begins about 57 minutes in.

The governor’s comments about Khan came during a discussion of Adnan Fazeli, an immigrant from Iran who became a follower of the Islamic State while living in Maine before travelling to Turkey. Fazeli died on the Lebanese border while fighting on behalf of the Islamic State, a radical Muslim group that demonizes Western culture.

Carr equated Fazeli to the Tsarnaev brothers, who bombed the Boston Marathon in 2013. LePage agreed.

“[Fazeli] is just another version of [the Tsarnaev brothers], then there are the mighty powerful ones like Mr. Kahn who is a con artist himself,” said LePage. “He uses the death of his son who is an American soldier which we respect and honor and he uses that to go after Trump, which I find very distasteful. then we find out that he’s a law partner with guess who? The attorney general of the United States.”

Right wing Maine Governor Paul LePage, a "YUGE" supporter of the extremely unqualified nutjob who is Trump, called Khizer Khan a "con artist" in an interview with radical right wing hate radio host Howie Carr.

LePage is a disgusting and vile excuse for a human being, just like his buddy and fellow scumbucket Trumpenstein.


It's the Paul LePIG and Crazy Sleazy Donnie show.

...while they embrace their freaking gaggle of Chickenhawks. Totally unpatriotic. The Repubs need to take their twisted hate of our US Armed Services personnel to the freaking Evil Empire of Russia for whom they have apparently Assumed the Position.

They have shown again and again that they only like to make vets and do the minimal to take care of them. And yet, they get that vote almost automatically.
