ME-SEN: Susan Collins wins glowing endorsement from racist fmr. governor Paul LePage.
Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, infamous for multiple racist and generally inflammatory statements made while he held office, endorsed Republican Sen. Susan Collins for reelection Friday.
"I absolutely endorse Sen. Collins. I never had a problem with her," LePage said. "We have some issues. We may have policy issues once in a while, but I’ve always supported her."
The former Republican governor, who served from 2011 until January of this year, gushed that Collins "has done such a marvelous job as a legislator."
LePage's endorsement comes as Collins faces significant national opposition to her serving another term. She has dropped considerably in opinion polling over the last few years and has now been ranked by voters as the second most unpopular senator in Congress, second only to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
