🚨 WTF?! Maine’s New Democrat Senate candidate Troy Jackson is in a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with his COUSIN, and has TWO CHILDREN with her
THIS is the guy the Democrat Party swapped Graham Platner out for 🤣
Per The Main Wire’s @SteveRob, Jackson and his “partner,” Lana Pelletier, share great grandparents, making them second cousins.
They then decided to pop out two children.
The Democrats are having a REALLY tough time finding candidates who aren’t total freaks 😂

They don’t actually want to replace Susan Collins. She obstructs Republicans at no cost to Democrats.
Troy Jackson - D egenerate
is she hot?
How did their two kids turn out? Asking for a neighbor’s cousin. /s
Who does he think he is? Rudy Giuliani.
Yeah, seems creepy AF. Gotta lock in those recessive genes like British Royal Family.
Sen Collins is such a reliable vote for dems, I’d be surprised if they would spend a penny to unseat her.
They brag about their party having a big tent. Well, a “big tent” in a circus (called the democratic party) would have lots of FREAKS.
2nd cousin bty. Ngl, My 2nd cousins were all hot.
My first cousins are the my Aunts and Uncles kids. My second cousins are my parent’s 1st cousin’s kids. I sure remember as a teenager meeting my second cousins for the first time. They were hot, and they thought I was hot. Man, I know if they had made any kind of pass at me, I would have been like putty, but they never ever crossed the line. Our grandparents were brother and sister, so yes, we had the same great grand parents. On the other hand, didn’t Elvis have a song called Kissin’ Cousins?
IOWs I think it depends on when you meet each other or how. What if you meet and fall in love with someone, whom you later learn is your second cousin? What if you’re living in Indiana, where that weird fertility doctor was using his own donor sperm for his patients, and you do DNA testing and you realize the gal you married is your half-sister?
My experience, people who end up having intimate relationships with their cousins are people who are deeply insecure, and have difficulty establishing normal healthy relationships.
I would sure like to know the circumstances here. How old was she when they met. If she was like 5 to 10 and he was 15 to 20 I think that tells you right there what is going on with this guy. DOES ANYONE KNOW?
Q: Why is there no ‘CSI Bangor’?
A: Because there are no teeth, and the DNA is all the same.
I’m here all week, folks !
Baaa Dum SSSSsssssssssss !
Marriage to a second cousin is generally legal. Not to a brother.
“...I’d be surprised if they would spend a penny to unseat her.”
Yes, It seems that the left did the whole thing on purpose putting a nutbag in as a candidate. Same thing in TX, MI, what creeps they are. It gives the feeling the crazy commies have infiltrated and polluted the dems even worse than we coming out these days.
We don’t know Maine.
Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson raises eyebrows in the Jewish community
The former state Senate president is now railing against AIPAC and ‘genocide.’

(JTA) — BANGOR, Maine – Throughout his two-decade-long career as a state lawmaker in Maine, Troy Jackson built his political brand around labor and economic issues. But as the former logger and state Senate president now seeks a seat in the U.S. Senate, Jackson has begun staking out positions on something new — Israel. Facing one of the Democratic Party’s most divisive issues, Jackson has embraced the label “genocide” to describe Israel’s war in Gaza and called for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel.
“This is unconscionable. Anybody with eyes and a heart knows the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza. It has to end, and we as Americans have the power to end it,” Jackson wrote in a post on X on July 9, responding to reports of a Palestinian aid worker killed by Israeli strikes. “When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I’ll never vote in favor of US taxpayer-funded military aid to Israel.”
A week later, Jackson also inveighed against AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby that has become a frequent target of progressives.
“I pledge to lead for Maine voters by rejecting attempts to buy influence through unlimited personal wealth and dark money,” Jackson wrote in a post on X. “That means rejecting all money from corporate PACs, AIPAC, and lobbyists from Big Oil and Big Pharma.” For some Jews in Maine, Jackson’s emergence has prompted unease. Some worry that his embrace of the term “genocide” reflects a troubling shift in Democratic primaries across the country that many Jews have found alienating. Other Maine Jews, while somewhat hesitant, see the longtime Democrat as a pragmatic choice to represent the state and say they prefer him over Platner.
Jackson’s newfound efforts to speak out forcefully on Israel comes as he is likely to secure the Democratic nomination Saturday to take on Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a high-profile race that could determine control of the Senate. His policy statements and comments about Israel have mirrored the broader evolution of the race since the collapse of Graham Platner’s campaign earlier this month. Platner, a staunch critic of Israel, bowed out of the race earlier this month following a sexual assault allegation that he has since denied. In the days that followed, some of the Democratic candidates who emerged to replace Platner but then dropped out, including Shenna Bellows and Jordan Wood, also began using the term “genocide” for the first time.
Jackson’s campaign did not respond to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency request for comment about his views on Israel.
For some Jews in Maine, Jackson’s sudden emphasis on Israel has raised questions about whether his positions reflect a deeply held conviction or an effort to win over Platner’s supporters. “I do think that his rhetoric on Israel has been kind of like a ‘pick me’ appeal to the perception of what the Platner base is feeling about the whole thing,” said Brian Kresge, president of Congregation Beth Israel in Bangor, who said he largely votes for Democrats. “I don’t know whether it’s a closely held position because it’s not something he said much about during the gubernatorial race (Jackson came in third place in the governor’s race). It’s not something I’ve ever heard him talk about in his other forays in politics.”
Rabbi Bill Siemers, the leader of Beth Israel, Maine’s oldest active synagogue, said that he had found “no evidence” in Jackson’s “social media or in his talks that this was an issue for him before very recently, and it’s clear to me and to others that he brought this up so he could be the Senate nominee.”
“Now we know where we are. We know where we stand, that this, at least in the upper levels of the Maine Democratic Party, this is a requirement, and that’s not good,” Siemers said, referring to the label of genocide. “I don’t think Jews want to have to go to the polls and vote on the basis of that, but they will,” he added.
Jackson’s rhetoric on Gaza earned praise from Our Revolution, the group formed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to advance the progressive movement. Jackson has won endorsements from both Sanders and Our Revolution, as well as left-wing streamer Hasan Piker, California Rep. Ro Khanna and Maine’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter.
“Troy Jackson doesn’t do word salad. He calls a genocide a genocide and says he’ll never vote for taxpayer-funded military aid to fund it,” the group wrote in a Facebook post earlier this month. “That’s what Maine voters delivered a historic win for on June 9, what other contender in Maine will actually say it?”

Maines population numbers some 1, 500, 000........
of that number, Jews are an infinitesimal 10,000
Maybe 2500 Jews actually vote?
Liberal educations and in-breeding at work.
