Responding to the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, Paul LePage said yesterday that the United States is being turned into a “banana republic” and that “we’re being taken over by the oligarchs, the elitists.”
In case you missed it, in last week’s Political Pulse newsletter, Maine Public pointed out Paul LePage’s apparent confusion over how electric vehicles (EVs) work.
Just days after Paul LePage claimed that Governor Janet Mills’ Executive Order to protect Mainers seeking abortions and abortion health care providers was “not worth the paper it’s written on,” LePage ally Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proved him wrong.
Just five short months after saying “we need to find a path to have civil discourse” as part of his bogus and failed rebranding effort, Paul LePage is once again proving he hasn’t changed and is still invested in launching personal attacks against his opponents, this time calling Governor Janet Mills “elitist.”
In case you missed it, WMTW News 8 yesterday debunked Paul LePage’s repeated false campaign claim that he “put far more money into education than [Governor Janet Mills]” and “we also funded the 55 percent [cost of education].”
This week, a new report on Medicaid expansion showed that since Governor Mills expanded MaineCare in 2019, Maine’s uninsured rate among those eligible for Medicaid dropped by 5 points, the nation’s third largest decline between 2018 and 2020.
