From the article:
LePage also apologized repeatedly to Rep. Drew Gattine and his family for leaving a threatening voicemail last week.
He said he plans to invite the Westbrook representative to a face-to-face meeting to talk further.
When I was called a racist I just lost it, and theres no excuse, the governor said. Its unacceptable. Its totally my fault.
LePage said being called a racist for him was, like calling a black man the N word or a woman the C word. It just absolutely knocked me off my feet.
The governor left the obscenity-filled voicemail for Gattine last Thursday, after Gattine criticized the governors remarks at a town hall forum the night before as racially charged. Gattine has denied calling the governor a racist.
The governor said hes been keeping a three-ring binder of arrested drug dealers in Maine, and he says 90 percent of the faces in it are black or Hispanic.
