Maine’s GOP governor met with ‘sovereign citizens’ who seek execution of Dems: book

Maine’s Republican governor vehemently denied claims in a forthcoming book that he discussed executing the state’s Democratic speaker of the House and Senate president.
A pair of “sovereign citizen” radio hosts said last year on their “Aroostook Watchmen” program that they had met with Gov. Paul LePage and talked about hanging as the punishment for high treason – which the broadcasters believed the Democratic lawmakers had committed.
“LePage indulged and supported the sovereign’s beliefs,” wrote blogger Mike Tipping in his upcoming book As Maine Went: Governor Paul LePage and the Tea Party Takeover of Maine.
Tipping has launched an online fundraising campaign to pay for the book, which has not yet been published.
