Chief of Maine's Capitol Police is a far-right radical

Hope our good governor kicks him out pronto.

Maine Bureau of Capitol Police Chief Russ Gauvin, the law enforcement official directly in charge of protecting state government staff and buildings in Augusta against threats of right-wing violence in the coming days, has himself been radicalized into believing and promoting deadly right-wing conspiracies.

Dozens of posts on Gauvin’s personal Facebook page, which was deleted shortly after Mainer contacted him for comment, show him sliding into an increasingly paranoid and hateful worldview since the Black Lives Matter protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd last spring.

6. I think he's been there for sometime -- at least 2006

before LePage took office. Maybe he started out OK, but the Trump parasite took over his brain.
