Gov. Paul LePage has penned a series of handwritten notes in response to Mainers who have written to him criticizing his stance on the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, that ignited a fierce public debate over racism, its Confederate symbols and how President Trump responded to the conflict.

The messages from LePage to Laurel Daly and Darcey Poulin were shared on Facebook over the weekend. Poulin also sent a copy of her message, as well as LePage’s response, to the Portland Press Herald.

“It is so VERY disappointing to have a governor who will not condemn the racists and violent actions of the KKK and Nazis in Charlottesville this past weekend,” Poulin wrote the Republican governor in a fax message last week.

In a response to Poulin, a Waterville resident, dated Aug. 16, LePage writes: “You must be reading the liberal press. Funny how you don’t listen until it suits your own bigotry.”

1. He has the handwriting of a serial killer! What does the 2nd sentence say?

"I have been the most SOMETHING SOMETHING of the KKK."

I can't make it out.

2. See above. It's there...

3. Where? Honestly, I don't see it.

In a response to Poulin, a Waterville resident, dated Aug. 16, LePage writes: “You must be reading the liberal press. Funny how you don’t listen until it suits your own bigotry.”

This quotes sentence #1 and sentence #3... but not the 2nd sentence.

The original article (at the link) does not quote it either.

7. I have been the most "outspoken Governor" of the KKK.

[NurseJackie]

8. Thank you very much!

9. yw, it's not very clearly written.

12. You are right! All the links I found don't have the 2nd sentence... something like

I have been the most outspoken SOMETHING of the KKK.

[NurseJackie]

13. A couple of others here have translated it... "outspoken governor".

You'd have to be a pharmacist or a schoolteacher to decipher that hen-scratching.

14. Oh, so he's the 'governor of the KKK?' What a dolt.

4. I think the second sentence is, "I have been the most outspoken Governor of the KKK."

[NurseJackie]

6. Thank you! That looks right... but sounds horrible. He doesn't proofread, does he?

"Governor of the KKK" sounds like a title... perhaps one or two ranks below "Grand Wizard".

10. He's a moran

And writes like one.

yup

5. I cannot wait until we see the back of him!

11. I'd almost love to see him challenge Angus King next year

only to see him get completely destroyed in the most embarrassing of fashions.
