Brewer Talks to Press Herald About LePage’s Comment on Obama

Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, spoke with the Portland Press Herald about Gov. Paul LePage reportedly telling a group of Republicans that President Obama “hates white people.” Brewer said if LePage did make the statement, it would top his list of “ludicrous comments,” but it won’t hurt him in the long run. Brewer predicted the general reaction will be, “There he goes again,” but he believes the governor “shouldn’t get a pass” for his controversial remarks.
