http://www.centralmaine.com/2017/08/21/lepage-writes-handwritten-notes-to-those-critical-of-his-stance-on-charlottesville/Gov. Paul LePage has penned a series of handwritten notes in response to Mainers who have written to him criticizing his stance on the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, that ignited a fierce public debate over racism, its Confederate symbols and how President Trump responded to the conflict.
The messages from LePage to Laurel Daly and Darcey Poulin were shared on Facebook over the weekend. Poulin also sent a copy of her message, as well as LePages response, to the Portland Press Herald.
It is so VERY disappointing to have a governor who will not condemn the racists and violent actions of the KKK and Nazis in Charlottesville this past weekend, Poulin wrote the Republican governor in a fax message last week.
In a response to Poulin, a Waterville resident, dated Aug. 16, LePage writes: You must be reading the liberal press. Funny how you dont listen until it suits your own bigotry.

I think the second sentence is, "I have been the most outspoken Governor of the KKK."

"I have been the most SOMETHING SOMETHING of the KKK."
I can't make it out.

This quotes sentence #1 and sentence #3... but not the 2nd sentence.
The original article (at the link) does not quote it either.

(42,862 posts)13. A couple of others here have translated it... "outspoken governor".
You'd have to be a pharmacist or a schoolteacher to decipher that hen-scratching.

"Governor of the KKK" sounds like a title... perhaps one or two ranks below "Grand Wizard".
