From the BBC News:(Here's what happens when a government leader speaks the truth.)<br />The governor of Maine has said that people of colour were enemies of his state, and appeared to suggest they should be shot.<br />Speaking about Maine's effort to combat drug crime, Paul LePage said that "the enemy right now... are people of colour or people of Hispanic origin".<br />"When you go to war... and the enemy dresses in red and you dress in blue, then you shoot at red," he said.<br />Leading Democrats have urged him to resign.<br />Mr LePage made the comments while seeking to clarify remarks he made earlier in the week which were criticised as racist.<br /><br />The press conference capped a controversial 72 hours for the Republican governor.<br />WEDNESDAY<br />Mr LePage was asked about a statement he made in January, in which he blamed the state's heroin problem on "guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty" who "come from Connecticut and New York".<br />"They come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave," he said.<br />Speaking on Wednesday, he denied it was racist, but said that since January he had been putting together a binder cataloguing drug arrests in the state, and that "90-plus per cent of those pictures in my book, and it's a three-ringed binder, are black and Hispanic people".<br />Asked by reporters to provide the binder, Mr LePage replied: "Let me tell you something: Black people come up the highway and they kill Mainers. You ought to look into that."<br />He then stormed off, telling the reporters: "You make me so sick."<br />Maine daily newspaper the Portland Press Herald has reportedly filed a Freedom of Information request for the governor's binder.<br />GRA:The press is on him like NBC news is on Trump.<br />--GR AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
