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.

When asked during an appearance on CNN’s The Lead if Platner raped her, Racicot said, “By definition? Yes, Absolutely.”
She added, “He violated multiple layers of consent that night by coming into my home, when I asked him not to. And by advancing on me when I told him not to. And — and furthermore, another incident that I had told him not to do.”
Platner – who already has a host of other controversies under his belt – said he is considering the future of his campaign.
“So, regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins,” Platner said in a video. “Those were the goals when we launched this campaign, and they remain my goals today.”

“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.”

Is it just me or is anyone else REALLY enjoying these headlines?
I mean when the bar is so high, how is anyone qualified in the democrat party. If they want someone that doesn’t abuse women they need to look outside the democrat party.
I’m REALLY ENJOYING IT! Schadenfreude!.......
Like McDonald’s says, ‘I’m lovin’ it’!
They’re ALLLLL charmers ;)
They have excluded straight white males for so long, there aren’t any left!.........
True. Like I said it’s a high bar for them...a “diverse” person that doesn’t have a terrible personal history of abuse of others.
Jackson would have been a strong contender.
Living in Maine, I am loving every minute of it.
On my way to work as an election clerk on June 9, I saw an ass clown dressed as Uncle Sam coming out of the Platner’s office in Ellsworth.
I wish a woman would get a sign Women for Platner and stand outside his Ellsworth office tomorrow!
Please excerpt the relavant parts of an article. The exceprt posted did not even list the full name of the perosn is is referencing, Troy Jackson.
Here is the pertinent information.
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.
“We began asking our contacts on the ground in Maine about Troy Jackson earlier today after seeing many suggestions that he should replace Graham Platner against Susan Collins,” Progressive Victory said.
“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.”
Stupid 21st century journalism has ruined reporting.
We can only hope the dems pick Troy Jackson as he is not going to pass muster. The information has been well documented by The Maine Wire. They have his entire MO.
This is the money quote.
but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly
“There are many witnesses . . .
All of those witnesses were Democrat State Senators and staffers as this was a closed door meeting of the dem senators during the legislative session to discuss strategy.
Sorry. Yes, I didn’t notice that until I had hit POST.......
Why they have so many nutcases in their party is truly amazing. It’s almost like they planned it that way!..............
DemonicRATS replaced Slanders with Hillary Gollum, replaced Otto Penn with Kamala and now they are going to replace Platner with someone else who got no votes or fewer votes. Yeah, they’re the champions of democracy. 🙄
“..he violated multiple layers....”
Interesting phrasing there.
Don’t forget about Bob Torricelli New Jersey Senator..........
Thanks for the reminder.
Democrats have laid down with dogs and woken up with fleas. Feral dogs, and fleas with plague.
Democrats needed criminal class dogs to help them win elections, with chaos and fraud, and now the criminal class has taken over, spreading the itchy rash of their lifestyle wherever they plant their deceiving, thieving, cheating foul asses.
The hypocrisy is being forced out like volcanic diarrhea at places like YT.
Popcorn.
They are having trouble finding ‘normal’ people in their party to run that don’t have a lot of baggage........
I believe the bottle throwing incident has never been verified, rumor only.
Platner isn’t getting out unless they pay him big money.
