Maine’s Republican Governor Paul LePage asked to resign after threatening Democratic legislator in voicemail

Extremist right wing governor Paul LePage of Maine is facing calls for his resignation after he left a threatening voicemail for a Democratic legislator that he told the legislator to make public. “Mr. Gattine, this is Gov. Paul Richard LePage,” the recording goes. “I would like to talk to you about your comments about my being a racist, you (expletive). 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 (expletive). You … I need you to, just friggin. I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you. Thank you.”
