At least his Reddit history isn’t out there.
Newly minted Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson frantically deleted almost all of his past social media posts heaping praise on accused rapist Graham Platner, The Post has learned.
Jackson, a former lumberjack and onetime Maine Senate president, had been a staunch backer of Platner up until a former girlfriend publicly accused the Marine veteran and dilettante oyster farmer of sexual assault earlier this month.
In all, the 58-year-old Jackson appears to have scrubbed at least 20 posts boosting Platner before the allegations emerged, based on information from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
“Graham Platner is exactly the sort of Democrat that Susan Collins and the Republican Party don’t know how to handle. It’s why I endorsed him back in February, and it’s why I support him now,” Jackson posted on X in May.
“He’s building a working class movement that spans every corner of this state, from Fort Kent all the way to Kittery.”
At the time, Jackson was vying for the Democratic nomination for governor. After finishing third in the ranked-choice voting primary, Jackon’s ties to the far left and endorsement by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) led Democrats to eye him as a replacement for Platner after he dropped out of the Senate race earlier this month.
In other since-deleted X posts, Jackson congratulated Platner after Maine Gov. Janet Mills suspended her Senate campaign in April, shared an article by the Portland Press Herald on his and Platner’s drive to give laborers more personal time, and posted a clip of Platner gushing over a labor union endorsement the two landed.

We have a couple in my town who still have their Platner sign in the front yard, prominently placed. They haven’t died - I’ve seen them in the yard Maybe just brain dead.
Troy Jackson is another flip flopper...100% unprincipled!!
Where in Maine are you? My uncle is in Gray on Sebago.
He just oozes authenticity. /s
Doesn’t work anymore.
Been saved by political operatives long ago.

Hopefully, a large number of Mainers write Graham Platner in for US Senate.
We will know if there is a spike in “blank” ballots vs Gov race.
Red Penn. Make it happen.
THEY ALL ARE LOONEY TUNES
