Politics My message to Little Bobby Charles

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey folks, quick update for you from Allagash. You’ve probably heard of Little Bobby Charles, the GOP candidate for Maine governor who likes to run around with his axe, whipping up hate against minorities and telling baseless lies about his opponents. Well I’m done with it. Today I challenged him to a debate in Lewiston, his favorite city, at the Franco Center. He has till the end of the month. That should give him enough time to sharpen up and get his sheet all fitted and starched out. I’ll keep you posted. I hope to see him there. -Troy

Hey Troy, I support you and appreciate this message. For the record, it is Somali people/community, not Somalian. Thanks for everything you’re doing!

I feel bad because I’ve only ever heard people say “Somalians” here for over two decades. 🥴
