Meanwhile, in Maine, Republican Governor Paul LePage is under criticism for his handling of a Martin Luther King Day event invitation from the NAACP. LePage initially turned the invitation down, upsetting the group. But LePage drew even more controversy when he offered this response to the NAACP’s reaction.

Gov. Paul LePage: “Tell them to kiss my butt. If they want to play the race card, come to dinner, and my son will talk to them.”

LePage has an adopted black son. He later relented and attended the event.
