Maine State Senator Michael Willette, a Republican from Aroostook County, garnered national attention yesterday for his Facebook post joking that President Barack Obama would see members of ISIS at his family reunion.
Willette issued a half-hearted apology after the post became more publicly known, saying I apologize for posting this on Facebook. Like too many people these days, I fell into the trap of posting something first and then thinking later. It was an error in judgment.
