| Description | Nick Isgro, the Mayor of Waterville, is under fire today for a comment he appears to have made on Twitter telling school shooting survivor David Hogg to “Eat it.” The tweet was apparently deleted, but Isgro hasn’t denied he wrote the tweet, nor has he apologized for his remark.
The statement certainly isn’t out of character for the conservative politician, who has somehow become a rising star in Maine Republican politics despite a near-daily output of caustic, extreme comments. Isgro routinely attacks and spreads false conspiracy theories about immigrants, Muslims and his political opponents and his statements have gone far beyond what is usually acceptable political discourse, even in the era of Governor Paul LePage and President Donald Trump.
I’m surprised it has taken this long for him to be called out. |
