Maine Governor Leaves Lawmaker Expletive-Filled Voicemail, Wants Armed Duel

Republican Maine Gov. Paul LePage left an expletive-filled voicemail for a state lawmaker who called his recent comments about drug dealers racist, the Portland Press Herald reports.

LePage called the lawmaker a “socialist ****ucker” and later said he would like to have an armed duel.

“Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” the governor said on a voicemail to Democratic State Rep. Drew Gattine. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you ****sucker. 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-*****, socialist ****sucker, you — I need you to, just friggin’ — I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”

LePage then let local media know that he had left a voicemail and invited them to his house to speak with him.

There the governor said: “When a snot-nosed little guy from Westbrook calls me a racist, now I’d like him to come up here because, tell you right now, I wish it were 1825. And we would have a duel, that’s how angry I am, and I would not put my gun in the air, I guarantee you, I would not be [Alexander] Hamilton. I would point it right between his eyes, because he is a snot-nosed little runt and he has not done a damn thing since he’s been in this Legislature to help move the state forward.”

“Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” the governor said on a voicemail to Democratic State Rep. Drew Gattine. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you cocksucker. 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 friggin’ — I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”

Seems reasonable to me.

Wow. I thought The Donald had a temper. I like LePage though, because he speaks his mind. Somehow he has survived in this Golden Age of Denial.

Especially in blue state Maine. I think they needed an adult in a high position because the left is so immature.

"Somehow he has survived in this Golden Age of Denial."

Somehow? I think I know how. The media and most political operatives live in a golden age of denial, but the voters don't.

Gattine lives in Westbrook——about 2.5% African American.

Typical limousine lib.

Go LePage!

It’s just basic justice to treat the left this way. They deserve it.

Acting all offended is just going to show his opponents where his hot buttons are.

And guess what, he apologized.

Hilarious. I know it’s a blue state but there are some really tough types living there.
