Why am I reminded about a joke about poor comma usage?

Speaking about Maine's effort to combat drug crime, Paul LePage said that "the enemy right now... are people of colour or people of Hispanic origin". [snip] Mr LePage was asked about a statement he made in January, in which he blamed the state's heroin problem on "guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty" who "come from Connecticut and New York".
"They come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave," he said.

The governor made the mistake of supporting Trump. All Hillary’s enemies will be destroyed.
Instead of condemned he should be praised for telling the truth.

Shades of Zell Miller !
I love it
I doubt this would have happened if Mr Trump wasn’t out there and in your face as Presidential Candidate, But I do LOVE IT when people speak the Truth!!
Go Mr LePage!!
Go Mr Trump
Just keep Hitting them where it hurts.
Same with NE. PA.
Paul LePage, one of the very few Governors who has the audacity to look the PC crowd in the eye and give them the middle finger salute. What we need is a LePage clone in every statehouse in America.
Stating out loud the race of people who are destroying your state with drug trafficking seems factual, not racist.
Why am I reminded about a joke about poor comma usage?
Exactly right. But see, the MSM, Democrat Party, and all their enablers think that by calling someone a “racist” or “sexist” or “homophobe” or any of their other little terms that come under the heading of “insults”, “offensive comments”, etc. they can influence the election outcome.
In fact, I think regular people (i.e. not those who are hired to blather on TV or who are interviewed on Watters World) all around the country are saying, “Who gives a shit?” What Trump says is what everyone I know says, the way he talks is the way we talk. We are not offended.
Sure there are some who are, but those little snowflakes are a small fraction of the people who work in the factories, grow the crops, drive the trucks, and run the stores. We will see if I’m right but the worst thing we can do is buy into THEIR theory that this kind of talk is somehow bad, un-American, “not Presidential”, etc. That is their meme, not ours. The time has come to stop the nonsense.
He does tell the truth. If one thinks upon the negro as a subject of American history they have been, and are, a disaster. Yes, Yes, I know there are decent blacks but they are not in control. Control by blacks is exercised by the criminal and demagogic portion of that society.
The truth hurts.
Now that's racist.
The Clinton Campaign (media) doesn’t like it when some one that have a steel backbone comes out and tells it like it is...
Get used to it, I have noticed on this site, there is a movement of standing up and saying it like it is, and I’m glad, there for a while I thought the only ones on here were people like Linda Grahamsy and Sheppi Smith...
“They come up here, they sell their heroin, they impregnate a young, white girl, then they go back home.”
Putting the `and’ before then:

the dreaded Oxford or serial comma.
They come up here and sell their heroin. They impregnate a young, white girl then they go back home.
Racism 2016: you said something I don’t want to hear.
Nah...look up “Eats Shoots and Leaves.” Has a whole nother meaning if you incorrectly place a comma after “eats.”
You have to admit it is really “racy”.
I mean, bad enough stating about the color. But mentioning the color of the girl they impregnate implies they shouldn’t be mixing.
I bet my Canadian Mainiac aunt is having an apoplectic fit now (e.g., somehow she felt the need to show me positive newspaper stories of local Moslems while I was up there).
Yeah, I’ve read it. How does a misplaced comma here change the meaning? All I see is bad grammar.
Yep, and if she wins we’re next...
