Sam Levine at HuffPo has attacked LePage over language in his voicemail:

Maine Gov. Paul LePage attacked a Democratic state lawmaker on Thursday, challenging him to prove that the governor was a racist.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) left a threatening voicemail for a Democratic state lawmaker on Thursday, using obscene language and challenging the lawmaker to prove the governor is racist (http://www.pressherald.com/2016/08/26/prove-im-a-racist-lepage-challenges-westbrook-legislator-in-obscenity-laced-voice-mail/?utm_source=Headlines&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily).
LePage believed that state Rep. Drew Gattine (D) accused him of being racist after the governor said he kept a binder full of drug traffickers arrested in Maine and that more than 90 percent of them were black or Hispanic. In an interview with the Portland Press Herald (http://www.pressherald.com/2016/08/26/prove-im-a-racist-lepage-challenges-westbrook-legislator-in-obscenity-laced-voice-mail/?utm_source=Headlines&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily), Gattine denied he had made the claim.

In the voicemail, obtained by the Press Herald, LePage directed several obscenities toward Gattine.
“Mr. Gattine, this is Governor Paul Richard LePage. I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you cocksucker,” LePage said. “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 cocksucker. You, I need you to, just freakin’, I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”

The wife of Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage had kept a low profile for the first few weeks of her summer job. But then her husband told a crowd at a recent town hall that his wife took a job to "supplement" his $70,000 salary, the lowest of any U.S. governor.

In the county I grew up in , the Sheriff , Mayor and head dick of School system probably make close to what the Gov does in my state and more than Gov of Maine .

$70,000 is still enough for two people to live on. Not sure why she decided to take a job. Especially one that requires she work double shifts.

But damn, I could go for a bowl of cheddar broccoli right now.

[RandallFan]

LePage needs the money, no donor freebies with his rhetoric & he has 3 or 4 white kids & the black kid who's dad was a caddy.

Fat, tanned, charismatic, angry, exotic( French background), troll(uses a black exchange student to claim he adopted a black kid) birther, regular guy Paul LePage.

Mrs LePage & this woman are a good example of jobs Muricans want do apparently.

The best thing he ever said was Cruz ineligible because LePage Jr is as well.

Why are cuckservative sites like Redstate trying to say this relatively small-government guy LePage is a meanie?

Attack Trump for benig big government but not LePage.

[PierzStyx]

Well, to be fair, that guy probably is a socialist son of a bitch. And an asshole, or whatever the @#$%^#*^#%&$*)^#%%$ is supposed to be.

I would be angry too.

What if I call someone a Kock Suck ing Mutha Fuhker? Does that cancel out the homophobia? Don't women do that too, by the way?

Everything is just dumb now.

[NotAnIllegalImmigrant]

Well...is he a cocksucker? Because if he is, then it can't be homophobic.
