News of Jackson’s anonymous online activity comes as he prepares to take on #Republican incumbent Sen #SusanCollins in a pivotal #Senate race this November. Jackson, a former logger & one-time president of the #Maine Senate, recently became the Democratic nominee after the high-profile implosion of progressive outsider #GrahamPlatner.

[what a freaking mess Dems 🤦🏼‍♀️]

“Oh yes, the Republicans never do any thing approaching this,” he wrote. “They are working hard on good government, night and day, and if they have just a one spare moment, they get together for bible study or a good game of tiddly winks. PLEASE.”

CNN’s KFile was able to link Jackson to the “Canadians for LePage” alias through multiple records, including an email address connected to Jackson, jacksonforsenate(at)hotmail.com.

In another comment in 2012, possibly responding to another reader, Jackson used a report about a Democratic lawmaker obtaining a protection-from-abuse order against a fellow Democratic legislator after their breakup to take a sarcastic swipe at the #GOP, mocking the notion that #Republicans were morally above such conduct.

Meanwhile, posting anonymously online as “Canadians for LePage,” #TroyJackson frequently disparaged LePage in the comments sections of news articles. “You are no more a woodsman than LePage is a Governor,” Jackson wrote in one exchange commenting on an article on the state’s budget.

I mean it’s not great, but there are worse things…

#Senate candidate #Maine #Democrat #TroyJackson ran anonymous account to troll #Republicans online

In 2012, Jackson had plenty to say about Maine politics. An outspoken Democratic state lawmaker, Jackson openly feuded with then-Republican Gov Paul LePage.

But in private, Jackson also took shots at LePage anonymously.

The top #Democrat on the panel, Senator #GaryPeters of Michigan, accused #RandPaul of waging a politically-motivated inquiry to “basically legitimize a predetermined conclusion that was reached years ago.”

Dr. #Fauci & Mr. Paul have been tangling with one another for years. In 2021, when the senator accused Dr. Fauci of lying while testifying before the #Senate, Dr. Fauci replied, “If anybody is lying here, senator, it is you.”

Mr. Schertler, Dr. #Fauci’s lawyer, said in statement that he believes that exchange “triggered” #RandPaul’s crusade against his client. But he did not deliver the statement, because Paul refused to let him speak. Sen #RichardBlumenthal, #Democrat of Connecticut, read parts of the statement into the record.

“The accusations that Chairman Paul continues to propagate are false & disgraceful,” the statement said, “& we will examine all options to hold him accountable.”
