BEYOND PARODY: Candidate Maine Leftists Want to Replace Graham Platner With Has Allegations Against HIM TOO

With the latest allegations against Graham Platner, Democrats in Maine are scrambling to find a candidate to replace him on the ballot this fall.

One name that has been floated is Troy Jackson, a far left Maine Democrat who also ran for governor of the state.

There’s just one problem. There are allegations of assault against a woman by Troy Jackson too. You could not make this up.

Amazingly, the allegations against Jackson were uncovered and published by a leftist group which doesn’t want Democrats to make the same mistake they did with Platner.

Leftist Group Reveals Troubling Allegation Against Potential Platner Replacement

The far-left group Progressive Victory is unveiling a troubling allegation against a potential candidate to replace Democrat Graham Platner in Maine’s U.S. Senate race, alleging that this individual “struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her” during a disagreement, corroborated by several witnesses…

Given this, the far-left group Progressive Victory is seeking out other candidates. However, they have run into some trouble with one possibility, Troy Jackson, former president of the Maine Senate…

“In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly,” it continued, revealing that Jackson allegedly struck a female colleague with a bottle. “Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now.”

“As Maine Senate President in a state senate caucus meeting several years ago, Troy Jackson in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her,” the group said. “There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident. This information is still developing and we will provide updates in a thread in the comments of this post as we receive it.”

Left wing activists must have come after this group for badmouthing Troy Jackson, because they have taken the posts down and added an update with an apology.

Last night, in the wake of the news about Graham Platner, our public unendorsement of him, and our sense of alarm we felt watching everything go down, we made a mistake. When we received the information about Troy Jackson, our fear was that the left was about to accidently rally behind another potential monster. We panicked and spread unverified allegations in a post about Troy Jackson that has rightfully received criticism. We agree with many of you that we acted in a manner that was irresponsible and inappropriate. This post was inexcusable. It is not the only post that is inexcusable, and we ourselves need to make a change…

We will be taking down our post about Troy Jackson and leaving this kind of thing to people far more qualified. We deeply apologize to Troy Jackson and to other candidates whom we rushed to speak negatively about recently.

The Maine Democrat Party is an absolute train wreck.

First they nominated Graham Platner, now this. The Three Stooges had more common sense.
