Republican mayor who taunted David Hogg to now face a recall vote

A Republican mayor in Maine will face a recall vote after he tweeted a post mocking a teenage survivor of the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Last month, Nick Isgro, mayor of Waterville, Maine, tweeted an article about Fox News co-president Jack Abernethy standing by host Laura Ingraham after she made fun of Parkland student David Hogg for receiving several college rejection letters.

Isgro shared the article with the comment “Eat it, Hogg,” in the since-deleted tweet.

On Friday, the Waterville city clerk’s office confirmed to HuffPost that a petition to remove Isgro from office had received enough signatures to force a recall vote. A total of 887 valid signatures ― 30 more than needed ― were gathered, said Sarah Cross, the city’s deputy clerk.

The City Council now has to call a special election for the recall vote, which it will discuss during a May 8 budget workshop, Cross said. The vote will likely take place during the city’s June 12 elections.

Former Waterville Mayor Karen Heck, a Democrat who previously endorsed Isgro, along with residents Hilary Koch and Jim Chiddix, spearheaded the recall effort.

4. Do all of these repugs only know how to insult people? Is that it?

Nothing about governing, nothing about tax payer concerns, nothing about city governing, or the like? Insult politics have no place in this country any longer. The insults against just about everyone (except of course repugs) are getting tired, worn out, and just plain stupid/childish...

That's fine. It's simply showing, free of charge to us here in DU land, and everybody else out in the real world what our repug opponents are truly like, in that the only way that they can run against us is by insults and the like. All free of charge to us here in DU land and the like elsewhere, and as the repugs are finding out, expensive to repair and difficult to overcome, regardless of the vast Koch money machine.

Sure you may have a $400 million piggy bank courtesy of the Koch fortune, but when so much of this money is wasted on idiotic mutterings and take down of innocent people, it doesn't work. Go ahead, waste your money.
You in repug land have no effective economic policies, have no environmental policies to speak of, have no medical policies to speak of other than to take it away from people, and just because someone has a different religious bent on something, fire them because you didn't like what they said.

In short, the repugs come up short in every category, including one of being human, caring, love thy neighbor, and the like. A very bad report card indeed.
