LePage Denies Saying He Wanted to Execute Democratic Leaders

Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) “vehemently disputed” assertions made in a forthcoming book, As Maine Went, that he made references in 2013 to executing Maine’s speaker of the House and Senate president, the Bangor Daily News reports.

Said LePage: “I was never in the room where ‘execute’ was used… It never happened. We did not discuss execution, arrest or hanging.”
