But controversy flared on Friday when LePage accused the Cruz campaign of going back on efforts to agree to the "unity slate." That's because ahead of the state convention vote, the local Cruz campaign threw its support behind a different slate of delegates comprised entirely of Cruz-approved individuals likely to flip support to the Texas senator.
"Cruz's Northeast political director David Sawyer lied to us and broke the deal. Sawyer stabbed us in the back, reneged on the unity slate and betrayed the people of Maine," LePage said.
Though he singled out Sawyer in his statement, LePage said the actions were emblematic of the Cruz campaign.
"As we have seen throughout the country, Cruz's national campaign is run by greedy political hooligans," he said.
LePage -- who ultimately took the only delegate slot not filled by a Cruz supporter -- also said the Cruz campaign had tried to block him from joining the delegation, which is normally a courtesy afforded to governors, according to a report from the Lewiston Sun-Journal.
As you may have not noticed, Maine held it's GOP state convention where the
state delegates allotted the GOP National Delegates.
12 went to Cruz, 9 went to Trump, and 2 went to Kaisach based on the caucus vote (according to Cruz)
But the issue is Ted Cruz locked up 19 of the 20
state delegates to through shady and controversial "methods", after agreeing to play it nice (all Candidates did).
The Governor took the 20th slot.
Cruz claims all the backlash is caused by Trump, his supporters, who are upset that he won on each level.
Kaisach campaign begs to differ from Cruz.
