In a radio interview with WVOM, Republican Maine Governor Paul LePage endorsed the death penalty for drug traffickers, saying the state should even bring back the guillotine.
The eccentric governor said he thought the death penalty was warranted for “people who kill Mainers… Actually, if you want my opinion, we should give them an injection of the stuff they sell.”
LePage interupted hosts after they moved on to go even further. “What we ought to do is bring the guillotine back,” he said. “We could have public executions and could even have which hole it falls in.”
“I like French history” he said by way of explanation.
LePage is notorious for making over-the-top and controversial statements. Earlier this month, LePage was denounced for complaining that drug traffickers with names like “D-Money” and “Shifty” always to try to “impregnate young white girls.” Those comments earned him an impeachment attempt from the state house.
