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.

Breitbart News reports:

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.

Dana Perino Just Exposed the Real Reason Democrats Turned on Graham Platner

I’ve been a fan of Dana Perino since she served as White House press secretary for George W. Bush, and boy, did she nail it on The Five Tuesday while talking about the Graham Platner situation.

Platner’s campaign is imploding after Politico reported a sexual assault allegation against him on Monday. Even though Platner calls the allegation “categorically untrue,” establishment Democrats are finally ready to cut him loose, because, you know, everything else that had come out about him apparently wasn’t enough.

Perino zeroed in on how The New York Times handled the story before it exploded. She explained that the accuser handed the paper five sources to corroborate her account. The Times contacted only two of them, who vouched for her character, and left it there.

“They didn’t call the other three, the other three who had the contemporaneous notes from when she had detailed it,” Perino said. “So the New York Times, they call it like a catch and kill thing, right? There’s like, oh, let’s try to bury this.”

Then Perino raised the question Democrats would prefer nobody ask. “So when did the Democrats actually start to care?” she said. The answer had nothing to do with conscience. I’ve said before that this had nothing to do with the allegations and everything to do with the polls. Perino agrees.

“It’s because the recent polling shows that Graham Platner was going to lose to Susan Collins,” Perino said. “And they thought, wow, we only have two weeks to figure this out.”

Hypocrite Democrats FINALLY Start Bailing From Platner After Latest Allegations

I guess the Nazi tattoo, the despicable online posts, the portapotty fetish, and the domestic abuse allegations weren’t enough for Democrats to admit Graham Platner (D-Maine) is a horrible human being, but now, following fresh allegations of sexual assault, Democrats are finally heading for the exits.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), two of the Maine Senate candidate’s most loyal defenders, yanked their endorsements on Monday, and Khanna went even further by calling on Platner to quit the race altogether.

How noble of them.

Make no mistake about it, the report that FINALLY broke the dam is damning.

Jenny Racicot, a Maine resident who dated Platner, told Politico that he forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections. She detailed the alleged incident in three interviews over two weeks. Politico also spoke with a man she dated afterward and reviewed documents, including emails between Racicot and her therapist, as well as messages in which she had warned an acquaintance against getting involved with Platner long before he ever ran for office.

Rep. Hank Johnson Says if Democrats Don’t Fight Back and Win Midterms, Black People Will End Up ‘Back in the Cotton Fields’

America’s dumbest congressman is back.

Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia, the same guy who once suggested Guam could tip over if there are too many people there, is now saying that the GOP is waging war on black people. He never says how, of course.

He also claims that if Democrats don’t fight back and win the midterms, that black people will end up back in the cotton fields.

Who wants to remind Johnson that slavery ended in the United States because of Republicans, not his party?

Johnson was speaking to Roland Martin, who used to be a host on CNN.

Breitbart News reports:

If Democrats do not win the midterm elections, black Americans will be “back in the cotton fields,” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) recently claimed.

Johnson made the bizarre claim during an appearance on the #RolandMartinUnfiltered daily broadcast.

“It’s a GOP war on black America, and if we don’t stand up and fight back, we’re going to be back in the cotton fields,” Johnson asserted, clarifying what he meant by “fighting back.”

He said it is not a call to arms but a call to protest, although he did not specify if he is imagining wild and violent riots reminiscent of the Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests in 2020, which many Democrats failed to properly condemn.

“And when I talk about fighting back, I’m not talking about taking up arms. I’m talking about taking it to the streets in protest, and also by exercising our precious right to vote,” he said.

Johnson added, “We’re going to have to get out in November and vote, like John Lewis said, like our lives depend on it, because our lives do depend on it this time.”

Transgender Activist and Former Dem Campaigner Vows to Unleash a “Trans Jihad” Against the GOP: “Kill Your Local Republican”

A transgender person has gone viral for threatening to unleash a “trans jihad” against MAGA nation and the GOP in a pair of sickening social media videos.

As the New York Post reported, a transgender activist and former Democrat campaign volunteer named Teha Delaruelle has been caught calling for the killing of Republicans across America in two separate videos.

The shocking videos were first uncovered by Minnesota independent journalist Dustin Grage.

In the first video, Delaruelle, a biological male who pretends to be female, sits right in front of a dry-erase board that carries the chilling message: “kill your local Republican.”

“We’re going to make this the moderate position for the state of Wisconsin,” Delaruelle says while pointing at the message.

“But I need your help, because we have one month to do this, so let’s do it,” he adds.

The Weirdest Campaign Strategy Ever Seen

Of all the ways to build an image while running for office, this has got to be the worst.

California State Senator Scott Wiener just helped to kill a bill that would have prevented registered sex offenders from holding office.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

California State Senator Scott Wiener helped kill a bill that would have barred registered sex offenders from running for or holding public office in California.

On Tuesday, Wiener’s Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee defeated Assembly Bill 2753 after the measure had sailed through the State Assembly unanimously.

Authored by Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria of Merced, the bill would have prohibited anyone required to register as a sex offender under California’s three-tier system from seeking or serving in state or local offices such as city council, school board, or the legislature.

The legislation was introduced after registered sex offender Rene Campos, who pleaded no contest in 2018 to a misdemeanor involving possession of child sex abuse material, announced a bid for Fresno City Council.

Soria had promised her constituents she would act to prevent sex offenders from running.

“It’s deeply disturbing that this issue is unfolding in my own backyard. The idea that a registered sex offender could run for public office in the City of Fresno is unacceptable,” Soria said in a press release announcing the bill. “This bill will ensure once and for all that registered sex offenders are prohibited from seeking public office in California, so voters can have confidence that those seeking to represent them meet the most basic standards of public trust.”

Wiener, who chairs the committee, opposed the bill and said he would support it only if amended to apply solely to lifetime Tier 3 registrants.

Colorado Primaries Could Impact The Midterm Elections Nationwide

Colorado Democrats voted Tuesday in primaries that could hand Republicans their most useful campaign weapon of the 2026 midterms: proof that the socialist wave crashing through New York City was never just a New York problem.

Three weeks ago, the Democratic Socialists of America notched a trio of wins in New York City that sent establishment Democrats into a panic. Darializa Avila Chevalier knocked off Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in the 13th District on a platform that included shutting down prisons, eliminating ICE, erasing the southern border, and opposing the deportation of illegal immigrants regardless of criminal record. Claire Valdez took the 7th District running on citizenship and voting rights for people who entered the country illegally, taxpayer-funded transgender medical treatment, and the elimination of private health insurance. Brad Lander won in the 10th District by nearly 30 points, defeating Rep. Dan Goldman, one of the most prominent anti-Trump voices in the caucus and the man who led the push to impeach the president.

Colorado now gets to answer the question everyone in Washington has been asking since New York’s results came in: was that a fluke confined to one deep-blue city, or the opening act of something bigger? Sen. Michael Bennet and Rep. Diana DeGette, two of the biggest names in Colorado Democratic politics, both face primary challenges that party insiders are taking far more seriously than they expected to a month ago.

CNN’s Harry Enten warned Democrats about the implications last week after the New York primaries. “What is true in New York City in a Democratic primary ain’t necessarily true nationwide with the general electorate,” Enten said last week. The Democratic Socialists of America have a net favorable rating of +17 among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, according to Enten’s data, but are 27 points underwater with the electorate as a whole. That 44-point canyon between the party’s base and everyone else is precisely the gap Republicans intend to exploit. “Socialism has become increasingly popular among Democrats, but it is a much tougher sell in the rest of the electorate,” Enten said. Favorable views of socialism among Democrats climbed from 50% in 2010 to 66% today. Among everyone else, the number has barely moved, sitting at 30% now versus 29% sixteen years ago.

Labor Union Leader: Execute Democrats Who Break with Graham Platner via Firing Squad

Andy O’Brien, the communications director for the Maine AFL-CIO, a statewide federation of 160 local unions, posted on social media, suggesting Democrats who refuse to support Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner should face execution after a “revolution.”

O’Brien shared a link to a the Hill opinion piece titled, “I’m a Democratic Strategist. I Won’t Stay Silent About Graham Platner,” by Democrat strategist Laurie A. Watkins. Watkins wrote that a career spent fighting for Democratic causes does not mean blindly supporting every candidate with a “D” by their name.

O’Brien’s response was brutal, saying political consultants like Watkins would be “first up against the wall when the revolution comes.”

Before supporting Platner, O’Brien was known for publicly calling out people he accused of holding extremist or neo-Nazi views.

After facing backlash, O’Brien said the post was meant as a joke referencing a science fiction novel, not a call for violence. He apologized to anyone offended and said he never intended to suggest harming people over their political views.

“Wants To Be More Political Than His Daddy”: Alex Soros Plows $103 Million Into Unhinged Democrats Ahead Of Midterms

The uncomfortable reality for socialist Democrats is that the anti-capitalist and anti-American movement is not an organic uprising from the working class, as they often portray in their propaganda.

The same left-wing politicians and activists who talk about dismantling capitalism and throwing wrenches into the capitalist system, all while pushing nation-killing progressive experiments across the West, are often backed by billionaire dark money and, in some cases, foreign influence networks.

A New York Post report released this weekend found that left-wing billionaire George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, who is even more politically extreme than his father, have funded Democrats and socialists to the tune of a staggering $102.8 million so far in the midterm cycle.

The Soros family seems hell-bent on advancing a far-left, radicalized agenda to reshape the nation into what can only be described as a leftist hellhole, something already present in blue cities plagued by years of violent crime and chaos.

Grammy-winning Democrat boasted about recruiting sex offender bandmate days before they performed together at school concert

Bobby Pulido, a Democrat and Grammy-award-winning musician performed at a middle school alongside a convicted sex offender bandmate.

Pulido’s close relationship with embattled accordionist Frankie Caballero is under increased scrutiny as his race for Congress heats up.

He is running against Texas Republican Monica De La Cruz in a crucial neck-and-neck race for control of the House of Representatives. Democrats only need to flip four seats to seize the majority.

The Democrat’s appearances with Caballero occurred both before and after he served a four-year sentence for indecent sexual contact with an eight-year-old girl from 2014-2017, the New York Post first reported.

In May 2018, one year after Caballero was released from prison and placed on Texas’ Public Sex Offender Website, Pulido boasted of recruiting Caballero to his band.

Days later, the Tejano singer played with Caballero at a benefit concert for a Texas middle school. Children were present at the concert held at the Richard R Flores Stadium, according to a report from Axios. 

The Daily Mail had previously reported on Pulido’s partnership with Caballero, but the middle school show was unknown until this week.

Caballero reportedly played with Pulido as long ago as the 1990s, when the accordionist faced other charges for sexual assault that were eventually dismissed.

He continued to be featured in Pulido’s shows from time to time until 2021.

His campaign manager, Abel Prado, previously told the Daily Mail in a statement: ‘Bobby extends his deepest sympathies and support to all of the victims involved.

‘Bobby was never made aware of Caballero’s sex offender registration and would never knowingly associate with anyone with that kind of history.’

But Pulido’s campaign has indicated that the singer was aware of some of his accordionist’s problems, acknowledging a struggle with ‘addiction.’

‘When Jimmy Montez management learned of Caballero’s criminal history in 2021 he was immediately fired and that relationship was severed.’ 

The Pulido campaign did not respond to the Daily Mail’s requests for comment about the school concert gig.

A spokesperson told Axios that Republicans planted the ‘nothing story’ and that Pulido is a ‘public figure who has been an open book for over 30 years.’

Comments from a 2019 podcast interview indicate that Pulido knew about his fellow musician’s brushes with the law. 

‘He can do anything with the accordion,’ Pulido said. ‘But get this, they locked him up. I remember when I started out, I went to get him out of jail.’
