Troy Jackson Snaps at Aroostook County Voter: “Don’t bother me with your foolishness”

It’s a familiar phrase to any Mainer who followed the New England Patriots’ dynasty years under Tom Brady and Bill Belichick: “Do your job!”

But it rubbed Senate President Troy Jackson (D-Allagash) the wrong way when an Aroostook County business owner sent him those words in a Facebook message.

“I got nothing to do with your Trump god,” Jackson barked back.

“Also, it isn’t in the Constitution that you decide who you want to vote for, it is that is your right to vote,” he explained.

“Don’t bother me with your foolishness. I don’t even know you,” he said.

The following screencaps were shared with the Maine Wire:

Richard Bennet has given me the same brush off when I asked him to look into the election fraud of 2020. Many, not all, of Maines republicans are no better than the opposing party. It is time to vote these place holders out of office, and bring in new blood that has loyalty to We The Peoples.

Jackson thinks he’s a King, not an elected official who answers to the voters. What an arrogant, unprofessional jerk.

Jackson loves Josef Stalin’s ideas on voting. Yes, you got the right to vote. But WE will choose who YOU get to vote for.

Troy Jackson is nothing but a dirty corrupt politician that lines his own pockets and should be voted out on the next cycle.

Troy Jackson and Janet Mills constantly lie to the people of Maine. This doesn’t bother them because they consider themselves royalty, especially during covid.

What arrogance.
This is a common attitude coming out of Augusta though.
They don’t listen or care about what we want.
For instance, I don’t know anyone who wants all the illegals coming here yet, here they are.
I don’t know anyone who wants to have to pay for others to live on unending welfare but that’s what we have and it shows with the employee shortages.
