Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) “made his dislike of the Portland Press Herald abundantly clear while sitting in a fighter jet simulator: He said from the cockpit that he would like to blow up the newspaper’s building,” the Portland Press Herald reports.
When asked what wanted to do in the flight simulator, he replied: “I want to find the Portland Press Herald building and blow it up.”
He later added the Bangor Daily News to his list of targets, which has video of the remarks.
