EXCERPT:
The incident unfolded after members began complaining about canceled campaign events.
Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson was kicked out of his own Facebook group after being “patronizing” to supporters. Jackson is now no longer a member of the “Mainers for Troy Jackson” group.
The incident unfolded after members began complaining about canceled campaign events. An account with Jackson’s name responded to the complaints by writing, “So sad,” before adding, “We have one in Belfast this weekend.”
The responses immediately prompted backlash from his followers, who accused him of being “patronizing” and “insulting.” His account was then removed from the group, and some members questioned if the account was even him.
“This cannot be Troy speaking,” one resident wrote. “He would not speak so insultingly and patronizingly to regular people let alone supporters.”
“This is horrifying,” said another user who had a profile picture of herself with Jackson.
