Troy Jackson, the radical Democrat replacing the radical Democrat Graham Platner for the U.S. Senate seat from Maine. He held his first town hall event this week in Lewiston. Based on his speech, Jackson’s ideology is the same as Platner’s.
According to the Maine Morning Star report, when asked what he’d do first if elected, Jackson responded that he’d push for Medicare for All. Additionally, he said, “I don’t see ICE as legitimate law enforcement, and that’s why I believe they need to be eliminated.”
That’s the justification Democrats use to attack immigration enforcement agents. For some reason, people buy into it instead of being horrified.

Scott Jennings linked to the clip and wrote, “This line of thinking — that a law enforcement agency is illegitimate because we don’t like the results of an election — leads to a very, very dark place.”
Jackson has no problem smearing the brave men of ICE who are trying to protect Americans.
Maine Democrat Troy Jackson grossly smears ICE as a racist “rogue agency.”

The candidate wants to tax the people of Maine, eliminate their private insurance, and give their money to illegal aliens. Why would people in Maine want this?

Jackson will face moderate Republican Susan Collins, who has a long history of pulling out a win on Election Day. The latest poll has Jackson up 48.3 to 46, but within the margin of error.
