An extremely brash GOPer who loves to cross the line. Comes as no surprise that he's a big Trump supporter. His daughter is doing some work for Trump's campaign.
So when he thought one Democrat lawmaker, Drew Gattine, called him a racist, he responded thusly:
Then he doubled down on it with threats to kill Gattine:
Now it's a big scandal and he's walking back what he said and is supposedly considering resignation as he gets condemned from both sides for his unprofessional responses.
And this is not a first. Read up on him and you'll find he is well-known for homophobic slurs, nepotism (hired his own daughter and in-law to work for him), past threats of violence, connection with fringe right-wingers (look up him and Sovereign Citizen Movement) and just a lot of dumb over-the-line insults coming out of his mouth.
This is the base case for Trump's presidency, and there is only risk of it going worse from there. This is what happens when you elect people to office who don't have the temperament to behave like rational adults.
" Maine Gov. Paul LePage: a good preview of what a Donald Trump presidency will look like
He's awesome...we really love him here. He makes leftists' and RINOS' heads explode. It's great.
Well I despise him thanks to his racist comments. Besides, the majority of Mainers didn't vote for him. He only won because it was a three way election.
Does this country want 4 years of someone worse than this guy?

In an editorial Friday, the Portland Press Herald offered an apology to America for its Gov. Paul LePage.
"Dear America: Maine here. Please forgive us – we made a terrible mistake. We managed to elect and re-elect a governor who is unfit for high office," the editorial began.
LePage has made comments blaming minorities for bringing a drug crisis to Maine, something that the Portland Press Herald wrote had taken a toll on the state's reputation for being open to new business and growth.
Well I despise him thanks to his racist comments. Besides, the majority of Mainers didn't vote for him. He only won because it was a three way election.
Now now....let's not deceive the people. He got 48% of the vote last time. The independent got 5% and polls show half of HIS votes would have gone to LePage.
There has never been a greater certainty in Maine elections than that Michaud was going to destroy LePage.....done and done.
Poop's!!
A man that takes no crap from smart mouthed communists? Awesome!

And if some Democrat were to react this way to Republicans, what would you be saying then? That it's so typical of Democrats to be so nasty and prone to violence?
This is you why as a political philosophy are so disingenuous and lack credibility. You ARE the problem.
I for one place value on candidates on both sides of the political spectrum who can conduct themselves like adults and respectfully deal with one another. You want to go to the gutter? Go get in a bar fight or come here and argue with people like me on city-data; but leave that **** out of the top levels of politics. It's not productive.
