Reuters quotes Brewer in report on LePage, anger in politics
Mark Brewer, a political science professor at the University of Maine, was quoted in the Reuters article, “Maine governor’s outburst tests limits of anger politics.” Republican Gov. Paul LePage recently sparked criticism after leaving an obscenity-laced voicemail message for a lawmaker who he believed had called him a racist, according to the article. Legislative leaders from his own party called him into a closed-door meeting to discuss his future, the article states. “I have yet to see any Republican legislator come out on the record in his defense,” Brewer said after the incident. Times Argus of Vermont also quoted Brewer in an article about LePage.
