Maine state rep suggests in Facebook rant he would harm Trump

PORTLAND, Maine — State Rep. Scott Hamann, D-South Portland, has said he regrets a Facebook rant in which he seemed to imply he would harm President Donald Trump if given the chance.

“Trump is a half term president, at most, especially if I ever get within 10 feet of that p—-y,” Hamann wrote in a lengthy Facebook post.

A screenshot of the post, in which Hamann writes that Trump was “installed by the Russians” and seethes against the president, his supporters and Republicans more generally, was widely circulated on social media beginning Tuesday evening.

Hamann did not respond to repeated requests for an interview beginning Tuesday night but said in a written statement Wednesday that he regrets making the “aggressively sarcastic” and “inappropriate” comments, describing it as “a Facebook exchange with a childhood friend.”

“This is not language I typically use, it does not reflect my personal values and, while misguided, it was intended to make a visceral point about the devolving political discourse in America,” Hamann said.

Threatening the president is a crime. The U.S. Secret Service is aware of Hamann’s statement and tracking the incident but has not opened an investigation, David Watson, resident agent in charge of the service’s Maine field office, said Wednesday afternoon.

In the Facebook post Hamann also draws a negative comparison between Trump and President Barack Obama — including a reference to the “Trump crime family” — blames Republicans for stymying the former president and taunts supporters of the current one.

“You’re a f—cking pussy. And you people are destroying America,” Hamann wrote. “100% of intelligent Americans agree that Trump is a complete loser.”

Never understood the liberal folks in places like Maine. Guess they are divorced from the reality facing the rest of us.

That’s another thing I’ve had a belly full of: democtat shills denying the validity of citizens by waving their magic “intelligence” wand!

And it sure doesn’t help when our own elected leadership won’t support us!

So he participated in the anti-Israel flotilla? If you pay attention to the Bible, you’ll remember a story from the Old Testament where some creep called Haman tried to hurt God’s people. I wonder if he was named Hamann for a reason.

Unable to keep the Obama-Democrat-liberal-kook insurgency going with Hillary at the helm, several Democrats are going all-out.

Time for trials and prison for a few of them. Like this guy and Kathy Griffin would be a good start.

I would say that he knows what a ‘pussy’ is, at least when it comes to males with undersized, or no ‘nads. His knowledge comes from looking in the bathroom mirror every morning and likely multiple times each day. I doubt that he has much contact with cats or females, either.

AFA President Trump being a ‘pussy’? Marijuana is now very potent and hallucinogenic to some, especially in large doses. Recreational pot is also legal in Portland, where he comes from. Need I say more?

Nice connection there. Perhaps more than a coincidence. In any case, his name is a good fit for anti-Israel. Figures he’s a Democrat. After all, who can forget them booing God and Jerusalem as Israel’s capital at the DNC Convention?

I can’t get over the fact that a Democrat Male is calling a Republican Male a Pussy.

It takes one to know one doesn’t apply.

He tried to kill the Congressman, so I would agree.

IMO, if a guy tries to kill someone, They should be treated as if THEY DID, even if the person lived. Their intent was to kill. That’s all I care to know when it’s during the commission of a crime.

You shoot someone as an act of defending yourself, this does not apply. You try to kill, you are not responsible even if you do, and definitely not if you don’t kill them.

It’s not legal to shoot Congressmen, but the Left thinks another “GOOD LAW” (as if) will stop these sorts of things.

B.S.

The GOP are now enabling this. By doing nothing but cowering, they too are responsible for more of it.

It is past time to prosecute and make an example of those who actually threaten the President.

Justice will not be truly served until filth like Hamann start disappearing.

Ditto here, but in cases like this, one needs to give some time, before the long arm of the law is enforced.

I should know, I am working for a federal/state entity and wheels of justice are moving at a very slow pace.

There you have it, your friendly Government at it's very best.

Terroristic threat from a terrorist supporter. He should be charged and convicted accordingly.

Send the Secret Service over for a nice little chat with him.

They should do the interview by "Tucker telephone".
