How the heck did this guy get elected Governor of Maine?

This is crazy…

The Story via Portland Press Herald:

Gov. Paul LePage left a state lawmaker from Westbrook an expletive-laden phone message Thursday in which he accused the legislator of calling him a racist, encouraged him to make the message public and said, “I’m after you.”

LePage sent the message Thursday morning after a television reporter appeared to suggest that Democratic Rep. Drew Gattine was among several people who had called the governor a racist, which Gattine later denied. The exchange followed remarks the governor made in North Berwick on Wednesday night about the racial makeup of suspects arrested on drug trafficking charges in Maine.

“Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” a recording of the governor’s phone message says. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you (expletive). I want to talk to you. I want you to prove that I’m a racist. I’ve spent my life helping black people and you little son-of-a-bitch, socialist (expletive). You … I need you to, just friggin. I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”

Now, where I come from, that is basically a death threat. I think this guy needs to be ousted and quick. This is being worked on now, and that’s good thing.

I mean, if I did something of this nature to, say, the Governor of Michigan; I would sitting in a jail cell. The Republican Party has enough troubles with Trump, we do not need another distraction. This moron needs to go and I mean quick.
