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.
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, 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 $#@!,” 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 $#@!. 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 waitress bounded with a cup of chowder and a plate of fish and broccoli.
It was Ann LePage's first double shift at McSeagull's, a bustling restaurant touting double-wrapped bacon scallops and views of Boothbay Harbor.
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.

$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.

Flashback to 4 years ago: LePage boycotted the convention over the Maine delegate shenanigans: The GOP governor who boycotted the convention because the GOP stole the delegate seats from the people who were elected to fill them:

[PierzStyx]

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

I would be angry too.

Maybe she just likes to work?

Everything is just dumb now.

[NotAnIllegalImmigrant]

Well...is he a $#@!? Because if he is, then it can't be homophobic.
