As the Gateway Pundit reported, last night Maine Democrat Troy Jackson told Republican Senator Susan Collins to ‘shut up’ during a debate when she suggested that a debate heckler was one of his supporters. Was Collins really wrong?
Tonight, Collins appeared on the Sean Hannity show and talked about the moment and her initial reaction to it.
Collins says that it started to make sense to her when she thought about Troy Jackson’s record for dealing with women with whom he disagrees.
Jackson allegedly threw a bottle at a female colleague in 2021 during an argument. There are other allegations as well.
Via Sean Hannity:
Sen. Susan Collins blasts Troy Jackson over his “shut up” remark, saying his response was “very telling” given his reputation for how he treats women who disagree with him:
“I was struck by how reflexive the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was. But then I thought about the reputation that Troy Jackson has in Augusta, particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So, in some ways, it didn’t surprise me. And the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.”

Collins also spoke about how the far left is doing everything they can to get Jackson elected, bringing Bernie Sanders, AOC, Elizabeth Warren and others to the state to campaign for him:
“Well, it’s interesting to me that Bernie Sanders has been to Maine to campaign with him. Elizabeth Warren is coming this week. AOC is coming next week. I think that tells you a lot about where Troy Jackson stands on the issues. Although, to be fair to him, he started out with some extreme positions on the right, particularly when it comes to abortion rights. And then he’s totally flipped and gone far left on a lot of issues. He actually touted the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America that he received during his campaign to try to be chosen as the Democratic candidate for governor.”

The radical left thinks their moment has come.
They will stop at nothing in their bid to take over. They really think this is their big chance.
