B.J. Penn, UFC champion and recent Republican gubernatorial primary candidate, joined 'Jesse Watters Primetime' to sound off on Gov. Josh Green and others.
"We come here to talk about something and then you guys start fighting back with us," Penn said at the meeting."You work for us. You don't talk to your boss like that, right? Who talks to the boss like that? Shame."
"You're here for us, and I knew when — because I ran for governor, and I knew that as soon as I got in, [these] would be my first words: At your service," he said.Watters presented Penn with comments from Hawaii Democratic Gov. Josh Green from an interview on CNN. "We want everyone to know that we'll only build Lahaina back when the people of Lahaina tell us how they want to do it," the governor added.
Green also released $30 million from a discretionary fund to help with recovery, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Penn argued it is"obvious" developers are salivating over recently leveled swaths of Maui. He suggested they could first target Lahaina to"set a precedent there, and then come to all the other places."
