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.
I wonder what he will say at this point in President Tump's second term?
He might die in a car crash before then from being doped up.
YES.
President Trump should have a closed door session with this man in the Oval Office. I guarantee one of them comes out a changed man.
“it was intended to make a visceral point about the devolving political discourse in America,” Hamann said. “
Really? Like Hillary calling Trump supporters Deplorables and Hussein saying we stick to our guns and religion?
The Dems started this insanity—— by not discussing issues but insulting voters.

People have got to realize: there is no way back from these conditions. There is going to be a deadly civil war. If these Democrats ever get power again, they are going to weaponize government against us. Would not be surprised if conservatives media figures weren’t rounded up. Dark, dark days ahead.
I live in Maine, and I never heard of this a$$hole Hamann.
Then again, I’m a three hour (or more) drive from Portland. Maine is a large state in area.
I see this dirtbag is in Portland, Maine. It’s every bit as moonbatty as Portland, Oregon.
If the Secret Service doesn’t arrest this bastard, then I’m done with the Secret Service. They should all be fired if they’re not going to arrest these bastards who are threatening to harm our president.
Prayers to the Trump family.
Prayers to the Trump family.
Is he the wife or is his boyfriend the wife. He looks like a queer..
Do these a-holes believe that if they harm or try to remove OUR PRESIDENT that we won’t rain Hell down on them?
Thats why I only drink Pure grain alcohol and rain water ((;O))
Absolutely unfathomable, isn’t it? A democrat gunman attempts a massacre against Reublican congressmen, and gravely injures one. The latest heat wave in L.A. got longer coverage.
If the parties were reversed, we would still be hearing about this crime every day, every hour. See tagline.
