AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Campaign finance records show that GOP Gov. Paul LePage forked over a couple hundred bucks to an effort to defeat Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The Sun Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2i8NlM0 ) that the donations mark the first time that LePage as governor has donated to an independent political action committee, or to any federal election.
LePage chipped in a total $300 to the Stop Hillary Political Action Committee, which ran ads about Clinton’s relationship to the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
The governor hasn’t kept his dislike of Clinton - and her husband Bill - a secret.
At a press conference this fall, LePage showed reporters Russian nesting dolls representing Clinton, her husband and several of his mistresses.
LePage also told a radio station that when Hillary Clinton opens her mouth, “people die.”
