Eric Pfeiffer, Yahoo News: Maine Governor Admits to Meeting With Individuals Tied to Domestic Terror Movement - Yahoo News
hosts Steve Martin and Jack McCarthy, who have ties to the Constitutional Coalition, a group reportedly connected to the sovereign citizens, described alleged details of the meetings between LePage and sovereign citizens movement representatives. According to the hosts, details of the conversation included whether Maine state Democratic officials should be hung for acts of “treason.”
“And we also discussed this there, that as far as I know, the penalty for high treason hasn’t changed in a hundred years, and I didn’t say it, but the governor said it — I never opened my mouth and said the word — the governor looked at us and looked at his buddy and said, ‘They’re talking about hanging them,’” McCarthy said during the broadcast.
“I said, ‘Praise the Lord — we’ll hang a few and be done with this crap,’” McCarthy said when discussing how he allegedly followed up LePage’s comments.
LePage denies the comments, but it would be an entirely normal conversation for “sovereign citizens”, and LePage’s staff futilely tried to dissuade him from meeting them. Hopefully this will help defeat LePage, who is in a very tight race with (D) Mike Michaud, while (I) Eliot Cutler is polling around 15%.
