Rep. Reagan Paul (R-Winterport) has been receiving threats of death and violence on social media, she revealed on Wednesday, with one user messaging her, using what appears to be his real name, and claiming that he plans to “come after” her.
“Here’s a snapshot of my day. One coward wants me to be hung. Another weakling apparently thinks I should shut up – or be shut up. Counteroffer: I WILL SPEAK LOUDER,” said Rep. Paul on X.
“It’s so sad that as we are about to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Republic that this is how far we have fallen. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Join me in fighting for the greatest gift of liberty the world has ever seen,” she added.
Paul included screenshots of direct messages she received from Facebook user Zach Borg, including a variety of insulting and violent rhetoric directed at the politician.
“You need to watch what you say. We will come after people like you and not with the legal system,” said Borg.
“You should fear for your life living in the USA and saying the things you say. You deserve to be afraid. Come on, fascist bigot. Say something. Did you know our WWII soldiers killed tens of thousands of people like you?” he added.
Borg also told Paul that Christianity is a lie and that people like her should have no place in society.
Borg’s Facebook page does not include any publicly viewable posts, but does have a header with a quote about fear, rather than hatred, being the real enemy.
In 2022, a Zachary Borg of Corinna was found guilty of aggravated assault with serious bodily injury, as well as domestic violence assault, domestic violence reckless conduct, and endangering the welfare of a child after his 11-month-old daughter suffered an overdose when Borg left out fentanyl.
Despite the severity of the charges, he was only sentenced to two years in prison.
It is not clear whether that Zachary Borg is the same person making threats against Paul.
Paul also shared a screenshot of another Facebook user, Gil Southworth Jr., responding to one of her campaign ads with an image of a noose.
The threats come as Maine AFL-CIO Communications Director Andy O’Brien faces public backlash, including from Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), for a social media post in which he suggested that Democrats who don’t support Graham Platner should be executed by firing squad.
After he was called out for the post, he claimed that it was a joking reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy science fiction series.
DJT threatens everybody that doesn’t agree with him.
Who are we kidding!?
DJT has literally murdered / assassinated negotiators while actively negotiating with them.
Reap what you sow you zionist pigs.
The new Democrat/Communist party.
People full of hate, rage
and envy.
Of course…!
“Seamus…
is an Irish male given name that is the equivalent of the name James, meaning “supplanter” or “one who follows.” It has Hebrew origins and is derived from the name Jacob”
Othot…
Hispanic (mainly Mexico): possibly of French origin (see 2 below). Alternatively, an altered form of Spanish Otón, from the personal name Otón, an equivalent of German Otto .
French: from the personal name Othon, an equivalent of German Otto”
Choose wisely.
Wow, this article is really bringing out the weak, momma’s basement trolls.
Keep it up Reagan!
And this is why the likes of Borg once elected to public office outlawed dueling. I’d be happy to slap him up the side of his mug with a white glove from Ms. Paul and watch him piss his pants when he had to standup for being a cowardly F who makes threats from his mother’s basement or whatever other hole in which he lurks.
Lenny was the little kid that nobody liked in school .
He never got picked for playground teams and the other kids threw snowballs at him .
His mom bought him a keyboard and kept him in his basement room for home schooling
.Lenny posts shit here under a dozen different names , and he uses AI to make his musings sound more intelligent .
Another nasty little troll loser , who forces people to read his diatribes, and thinks he is finally getting noticed
Stay home and unplug your keyboard Lenny .
Nobody likes you here either .
Memory is that there are 151 state reps, a couple of whom are “New Mainers.”
Imagine the outcry if this was being done to one of them….
just imagine — not only would it be a national outcry, but we’d have the Governor and Attorney General promising to bring the full weight of the state in support of Representative Paul. And the legislature, on both sides of the aisle, would never tolerate such an attack on one of their own — it would be considered a personal attack on each and every member individually and all would respond accordingly.
And then imagine if the Teamsters were to threaten to murder anyone who didn’t support General Mills in the primary, or to murdered Progressives in general…
THIS IS BEING IGNORED BECAUSE IT’S HAPPENING TO A PRETTY WHITE WOMAN WITH BLONDE HAIR WHO HAPPENS TO SUPPORT CONSERVATIVE CAUSES SUCH AS AFFORDABLE ELECTRICITY.
That, boys and girls, is fascism — at it’s most basic, fascism is the use of force and violence to silence diversity of thought.
The fact that affordable electricity is now a radical conservative objective shows just how far off the deep end the State of Maine has gone, but it’s a perfectly legitimate viewpoint that I’m sure Representative Paul could defend if given the opportunity.
John Milton stated that truth is stronger than falsehood and that thus that the truth would always prevail in a fair fight. If someone wants to argue that Maine electric rates should be higher than they already are, well it’s a free country and they have a right to do that.
What they do not have a right to do is the useless violence or threats thereof to silence their critics — that is not only fascist but illegal. I’d like to see the US Attorney prosecute the AFL/CIO for the threats being made on its behalf.
Dr Ed ….we both know that useless Aaron Frey , our attorney general ( in name only ) isn’t going to say or do anything , about anything , except maybe be signing on to somebody else’s lawsuit somewhere .
THAT is about ALL he does while sitting in his soundproof fortress office .
Oh that’s right ….
There was ONE THING …..telling every state employee to shut their mouth if contacted by any federal enforcement agency.
Frey is just a worthless political tool wielded by Janet Mills at her growing number of enemies .
This chick is cringe, bordering on the Marjorie Taylor Green of Maine. Can we get representation who aren’t dipshits?
What is “ cringe “ here …….is this miserable nasty troll AGAIN !
Why can’t this dipshit jerk go play with the blue sky crowd who’d probably enjoy him more and think he’s funny .
We certainly don’t .
Louisewood, I am talking U.S. Attorney Andrew Benson who is FEDERAL and answers to Trump.
There are federal laws regarding union thuggery.
Good News .
If our state’s attorney general doesn’t have the balls to prosecute these threats , maybe the federal people do .
Internet trolls think that because they use a different name , that their posts can’t be tracked back to them .
You can’t fix stupid but you sure can imprison it .
Thanks Ed .
‘Israel’s Suicidal Rupture with the U.S’
“Israel is contaminated by racism and genocidal violence. It is blinded by a repugnant moral superiority. It is corrupted by a class of Zionist billionaires in the U.S. who use their wealth to bend foreign policy to serve Israeli interests. It is equipped with a nuclear arsenal Israeli officials have repeatedly threatened to use.
It is a menace to the region. It is a menace to itself. And it is a menace to us…
The rhetoric unleashed by Israeli politicians and pundits about Trump and those in his administration over the MoU — reportedly arranged without Israeli participation — is venomous. No one in the Trump administration is immune. Trump’s hapless special envoys and unapologetic Zionist assets, Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, were castigated as “two little Jews” by Yinon Magal, a former Knesset member-turned-pundit who is close to Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump is a “loser.” Vice President JD Vance is “scum.” “Israel Hayom” — the Israeli newspaper owned by billionaire Miriam Adelson, one of Trump’s biggest financial donors — in an op-ed accused Trump of betraying Israel.
“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” Vance retorted…
The defeat of Israel and the U.S. in the war on Iran has dealt a mortal blow to the project of “Greater Israel” and the Abraham Accords. It has crippled the Trump presidency, driving up inflation, plunging Trump’s approval rating to dismal levels, paralyzing the economies of Gulf allies and threatening Republican control of the House and the Senate in the November elections.
Israel has no intention of catering to Trump. It could not care less what happens to him, his administration or the effects of the looming economic catastrophe. But Trump, who always has been and always will be out for Trump alone, is not going to sacrifice himself for someone else’s benefit or airy ideals…

We’ve talked about this in therapy you toothless quack. It’s called encryption. Catch up!
Besides, what law was broken!? Using a different name in a free online rag comment section. Goodness you’re stupid.
This isn’t your safe place louisewood. It’s a free online rag comment space and thus open to general public. Take a deep breath like we practiced in session and remember, it’s only yours if you can keep it. You boomer babies are losing big time. It’s embarrassing. You can’t even take back Lewiston. You want federal police to protect you!? You sound like a F’ing socialist wimp. Get out out on the street and take Lewiston back. Sissy!
PS
That Afro door dash clown isn’t me. I love MTG. The only reason she resigned is because the jews threatened her families life. And we all know they are mass murderers.
