Though not legally adopted - he was, after all, 17 - he is obviously considered part of the family and thought of as a son. No need for him to comment any further.
Actually, the leftists are coming up with some interesting ideas about his education costs, who paid them, in state, out of state, immigration, legal, illegal. They seem to want to study all the ramifications of this guy. The upshot of all this is that it makes LePage look good. Spent money, helped this kid out, it’s a good thing LePage did. The media is not really going to want to examine a story that overall makes LePage look good.
LePage is definitely a good one, one to watch. Hasn’t yet done anything to piss off conservatives, as Christie has.
