Scott Hamann

PORTLAND, Maine — State Rep. Scott Hamann, D-South Portland, has said he regrets a Facebook rant in which he seemed to imply he would harm President Donald Trump if given the chance.
“Trump is a half term president, at most, especially if I ever get within 10 feet of that p—y,” Hamann wrote in a lengthy Facebook post.
A screenshot of the post, in which Hamann writes that Trump was “installed by the Russians” and seethes against the president, his supporters and Republicans more generally, was widely circulated on social media beginning Tuesday evening.
Hamann did not respond to repeated requests for an interview beginning Tuesday night but said in a written statement Wednesday that he regrets making the “aggressively sarcastic” and “inappropriate” comments, describing it as “a Facebook exchange with a childhood friend.”
“This is not language I typically use, it does not reflect my personal values and, while misguided, it was intended to make a visceral point about the devolving political discourse in America,” Hamann said.
The statements came in a moment of political uproar nationally, following the revelation that during the 2016 campaign the president’s son had met with a Russian lawyer with the hope of receiving information damaging to then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
And they land roughly a month after a gunman opened fire on a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, leaving five people wounded, including U.S. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana.
Maine GOP Chair Demi Kouzounas decried Hamann’s statements as “unhinged and dangerous” and, through a spokeswoman, called on Speaker of the House Sara Gideon, D-Freeport, to ask for Hamann’s resignation.
A spokeswoman for Gideon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Not only that, but they have corrupted our precious bodily fluids, too!
Trump should invite him to his office, and have plenty of Secret Service agents around and then ask him, “So there Buddy, what were you rambling on about then?”
Democrats are mentally unstable.
I threatened the president of the United States with harm.
To show devolving political discourse in America.
Well, I guess you succeeded.

[ Trump was “installed by the Russians”
Not only that, but they have corrupted our precious bodily fluids, too! ]
The amount of evidence of Shrillary being paid off by the Saudis is several magnitudes larger than anything Russia has to do with Trump...
Just another dem nutcase, whose mouth is writing checks his skills can't cash.
Another leftwing nut job suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Clin-toon was paid off by both the Saudi regime and by the Russians (Uranium deal).
Even if Trump is assassinated (dear Gd please forbid) the media will cover it for three days only and then move on. Like the mass assassination attempt on the Republicans at the hall field, or even 9/11.
Scott Hamann should get a week long tour of Gitmo
Nothing was swept under the rug faster than the mass assassination attempt of Republican Congressmen. We all know with absolute certainty that if the roles were reversed the corrupt MSM would be covering it wall-to-wall and we would know every single shred of information about the perpetrator, his life, and the influences in his life. Because it was a Leftist nut (redundancy) it was - barely - reported and then instantly dropped as soon as possible.
Lock him up.
Only a week? As a visitor?
Let me guess - he’s for legalization of marijuana for recreational use.

The SECRET SERVICE should pick HAMANN up and put him under some bright lights for questioning.
