Troy Jackson's campaign keeps finding new ways to make Maine voters ask "wait, who's running this thing?" Now we learn one of the co-hosts for a June campaign event is a woman who has written extensively for Communist Party USA publications. Not a random supporter who showed up. A co-host, listed right there on the invite with three others helping organize the event.
Maybe nobody vetted the guest list. Maybe nobody cared to. Either way, that's the problem. This isn't a case of some staffer being sloppy about a single event. It's part of a pattern with this campaign, one controversy stacking on another, and each time the response is silence or a shrug. Voters are left to wonder whether anyone in Jackson's operation is actually paying attention to who they're putting in front of the cameras and the donor lists.
Democrats love to accuse the other side of extremism, real or imagined, whenever it's convenient. Here's an actual data point: a Communist Party writer helping run a Senate campaign event in Maine, of all places, a state that prides itself on independent, common-sense politics. If a Republican Senate candidate had a co-host with a résumé like that, it would be the lead story on every network for a week.
Jackson owes Maine voters a straight answer, not a dodge. Who vetted this event, why was Nandrea included, and does the campaign think this is fine? Silence on that question tells voters plenty about what this campaign actually stands for.
