Someone painted a mural along a city trail depicting LePage as a Klansman

PORTLAND, Maine — A large mural of Gov. Paul LePage in the white robes and red hood of a Ku Klux Klan leader was painted on a city-sanctioned graffiti wall along Portland’s Eastern Promenade Trail late last week.
The mural covers roughly 30 feet on the side of the city’s sewage treatment plant with the message “Dump LePage.” It also labels Maine’s chief executive as a “racist,” “homophobe,” “moron” and “governor” — although the last word is crossed out. The unsigned graffiti was painted on the wall as Maine Democrats’ efforts to oust the governor and some state Republicans’ calls for censure fizzled in the wake of LePage’s latest uproar.
Last week, “Dump LePage” was also scrawled under a highway overpass in Portland. A Department of Transportation official said the earlier graffiti would be promptly removed.
But the depiction of LePage in Klan robes is likely to linger.
