Paul LePage On Trump’s Election Results Answer: “C’mon, Get Over Yourself”

Source: BuzzFeed

Paul LePage, the governor of Maine and a Donald Trump ally, slammed the nominee on Thursday for not committing to accept the election results at last night’s debate.

Although LePage said he did not watch the debate, when told of Trump’s comments on a Maine radio show, he responded that it was “an absolute stupid move. Period.” LePage advised Trump to “take your licks and let’s move on four years.”

“Not accepting the results, I think, is a stupid comment. I mean, c’mon. Get over yourself,” LePage said.

He added, however, that he agreed with Trump that he agreed things are rigged in Clinton’s favor. “You’ve got the inside Beltway people and the media, how you going to win?”

Calling the media biased is OK (if untrue) but to say that the media is rigging the election?

It's like he doesn't know the meaning of simple words. "I have the best temperament," "Nobody has more respect for women than I do," etc. There's a real disconnect in his brain.
