Former Maine Governor Paul LePage has been called many names in the past. Politico referred to him as the “craziest governor”. Maine paid out nearly $600,000 for attorneys to represent LePage when he was governor.
Interestingly, LePage has become news again. In addition to preparing to challenge Maine Governor Janet Mills in 2022, LePage has met with sovereign citizens and reportedly told them to “get our guns out” if they felt their First Amendment rights were being stifled.
Meeting with sovereign citizens is nothing new for LePage. In 2014, LePage held at least eight meetings with the Constitutional Coalition, a sovereign citizen-associated group. (FYI: This group is not associated with the Missouri non-profit of the same name.)
But all is right in the world. According to reporting documented by the SPLC, LePage was not endorsing the views but just listening to constituents.
