Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) believes drug traffickers shouldn't just get longer prison sentences, they should be subjected to the death penalty -- specifically, the guillotine.
"What I think we ought to do is bring the guillotine back. We should have public executions," LePage said in a Tuesday interview with the radio station WVOM.
Maine, like many other states, is struggling with a heroin epidemic, and LePage frequently talks about it at his public events.
He recently made national news when he commented on traffickers coming from Connecticut and New York with names like "D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty" who "come up here, they sell their heroin and they go back home."
