Thrice-censured radical left-wing Bangor City Councilor Joseph Leonard went on an anti-ICE tirade during Monday’s council meeting before an ordinance aimed at limiting city cooperation with immigration enforcement failed.

“This is a criminal organization, but I don’t expect our rapist pedophile facist president to take any consideration of this whatsoever, so I would proudly vote in favor of this ordinance,” said Leonard.
Throughout the rant, he referred to ICE as a “criminal organization” and detention centers as “concentration camps.” He also claimed that detained minors are getting pregnant.
“Little girls who came into these ICE concentration camps not pregnant are now pregnant,” he said.
Leonard has a long history of outbursts at council meetings, including throwing a pen and making an obscene gesture at a commenter during a meeting, and has been censured for his behavior three times.
The city council has been working on its proposed anti-ICE ordinance for months, though it has never successfully passed.
Residents were able to voice their opinions on the ordinance that would limit how much city employees could cooperate with federal law enforcement without judicial warrants or court orders.
People spoke on both sides, with opponents raising concerns that the ordinance would jeopardize the city’s federal funding.
“This does nothing except create extreme liability for the taxpayer and the city,” said one Bangor resident.
After the council voted unanimously to amend the ordinance, Councilor Carolyn Fish made a motion to indefinitely postpone it, but the motion failed 4-5.
Councilor Fish then left the room during Leonard’s rant and did not return for the rest of the meeting or participate in the rest of that day’s votes.
With Fish gone, the council voted on enacting the ordinance, but it nevertheless failed 3-5.
I’ll bet that leftist loon voted for the Nazi
He looks exactly like you think he would.
What the hell is wrong with democrat voters? Aren’t there any sane candidates in the democrat party?
I’ll bet he ran for Council to
“Make a difference”…..
Unfortunately, the real colors aren’t
visible during the campaign.
Is this the same city council that has the woman on it who was convicted for killing a Canadian tourist by suffocating him with sand?
Well, there’s another typical Democrat without a functioning brain cell. Be interesting if Trump saw that video. Wonder how long it would take to haul this worthless clown into a lawsuit for slander?
Unfortunately, this guy is just a typical democrat. I served on a town committee in a small SW Maine town and I heard that kind of stuff all the time.
doesn’t represent my values, who votes for this guy
Bangor got what it voted for .
The uncouth councilor in this photo certainly has the look of the early communists such as Marx and Lenin. He confirms that we’re definitely not electing our best and brightest not just in Bangor but throughout the state.
The man is a liar, period. Everything from his mouth was/is a lie. Way to go Bangor, Socialists love you.
Stay home again from the next vote, Bangor and you’ll get more of these scumbags representing you.
He should be forced to prove any of this garbage he is saying.
Lmao!!! Looser communist. Nice touch withe the clown nose 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only traitors help invaders. This clown needs a beat-down ASAP.
SWAT this terrorist supporter, or call ICE on him. He exhibits a high risk of committing violence.
Another moron that doesn’t know he is one / If it’s a he
welcome to the new maine.
Another lunatic leftist. This one is a home grown lunatic.
Most of the time the crazies have 5 to 6 addresses, all from out of state until the maine landing.
“He also claimed that detained minors are getting pregnant.” He made in part of the official city record someone make him show the proof.
“Leonard has a long history of outbursts at council meetings, including throwing a pen and making an obscene gesture at a commenter during a meeting”…
I am so sick and tired of tirades and melt downs, screaming and pushing, deliberately interfering with everyone else’s simple way of life. This Jack@$$ needs to have the $#!+ kicked out of him. Just another example of spare the rod spoil the child, spoiled lil brat male-child that believes he doesn’t have to grow up. It is never too late too late to start correcting his deficient up-bring.
” has been censured for his behavior three times.” Obviously, that’s not working, time for another approach.
This guy really sells the brand. He’s basically telling illegal’s to come to his house (or more likely parents house) and commit crime because you know he’s not going to call the cops. That would make him a hypocrite-racist.
Loons all around-that guy needs a haircut bad. Another TDS victim; why doesn’t anyone remove him from his position? People expect decorum not temper tantrums
Walk up Manier’s!
Voat them out before they can make laws.
His outbursts are designed to intimidate his fellow councilors and the public. beside giving all longhairs a bad image,he acts like a punk. Social correction required.
It is long past the time that democrats grow up! This childish fool is the poster child for all democrats.
One more bigmouth to put in the lawsuit net.
I wonder if this entitled, hypocritical dickhead has any concern over the 300,000 children that went missing during Marxo-fascist Autopen Biden’s illegitimate reign. Probably not.
The left has been successful in never delivering the utopia it promises; 7 plus years of the Mills administration effectively destroying Maine and out of the shadows comes even more extreme leftists who tell us how horrible life in Maine has become despite Mills’ far left agenda. Their solution – even more socialism.
Conservatives fighting to win the hearts and minds of most voters discover modern society has no heart or mind.
My wife and I voted against the last 3 elected Bangor City Councillors – that election was decided by 2,500 (+/-) Bangor voters.
Councilor Fish, BTW could not be bothered to assist us with a city matter a year and a half ago. As is often the case I reached out to Councilor Fish who never even acknowledged my request. Unfortunately, the few politicians I vote for that are elected prove to be similar disappointments.
Leonard is embarrassing, and he loves nothing more than the sound of his own voice. He’s all smoke, no fire on everything. But this is politics these days: performance.
Pedophile, rapist, fascist, does this guy think Biden is still in office?
