Why Troy Jackson Got Kicked Out of a Facebook Group Supporting
Progressive policy ambitions meet practical realities as Americans weigh costs and consequences.
Troy Jackson got bounced from a Facebook group created to boost his own Senate campaign. Not by a rival, not by a moderator from the other side. By his own admin, after he went after a commenter so viciously that the person running the page refused to believe it was the candidate.

Troy Jackson might not have Nazi tattoos, but he’s been with his second cousin for decades and reportedly has a temper. It’s as if no ordinary person can run for statewide office as a Democrat in this state.
Jackson’s abusive behavior earned him the boot from a Facebook group supporting his Senate candidacy. He was apparently so nasty to a commenter that the admin did not believe it was actually Mr. Jackson.
The Maine Wire analyzed the exchanges and the account and found that it indeed is Troy Jackson:

Troy Jackson got bounced from a Facebook group created to boost his own Senate campaign. Not by a rival, not by a moderator from the other side. By his own admin, after he went after a commenter so viciously that the person running the page refused to believe it was the candidate. The Maine Wire had to trace it back. It was him. He got kicked out of his own fan club.
The details are a little something for the Democrats who love to lecture about character. Jackson has reportedly been with his second cousin for decades, and has a temper that should scare anyone who expects a state senator to act like an adult. His behavior in the group was so bad that the admin actually thought someone was impersonating him. That's not a good look for a man asking Maine voters to trust him with a seat in Augusta. If you can't behave in a private Facebook group, what are you going to do in the State House?
Democrats have a habit of waving away their own party's creepiness and bad temper when the candidate has a D next to his name. They'll call for civility one day and then ignore a guy like Jackson the next. Maybe they think voters won't notice. But voters have phones, and screenshots last forever. This is the party that claims to be the adults in the room. Jackson just reminded everyone that they're not even running a babysitting service.
