Former Maine governor who called nonwhite people 'the enemy' wants his job back

By Josh Israel -April 30, 2020 12:01 PM





Paul LePage's tenure was marked with racist comments, attacks on his critics, and refusals to do his job.

Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage said Wednesday that he will move back to the state and run for his old job. LePage, who no longer lives in Maine, had previously promised that he was finished with politics.

The Republican, who served two terms as governor, said he would run against his successor, Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, in 2022. "Believe me, I will challenge her," he told right-wing radio host Howie Carr.

"Yes, I am going to challenge Janet Mills in 2022 because the state will be worse off than it was when I took over in 2010 and I do believe I have the skill set to fix it," LePage said.

LePage bolted the state after leaving office in January 2019. "I'm going to retire and go to Florida. I'm done with politics. I've done my eight years. It's time for somebody else," he said at the time. As of this January, he was registered to vote in Flagler County, Florida.

Wow, did he go on a fitness binge, or does he have cancer? When I saw him, he was a roly-poly basketball-shaped guy. That was some 6 years ago, but I heard he looked the same when he left office. In this photo, he has withered considerably. Almost everything is gone but the meanness.
