Janet Mills Reaffirms Support for Joe Biden at Debate Watch Party

Despite a disastrous performance by President Joe Biden at the first presidential debate versus former President Donald Trump that sent Democratic pundits into an immediate panic, Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) reaffirmed her support for the 81-year-old presumptive nominee at a Thursday evening debate watch party in South Portland.

Gov. Mills, speaking to a crowd of roughly 50 attendees at the watch party, said that she is supporting President Biden because he “has done the most to help the state of Maine.”

“I know who came here, who stood with us after Oct. 25th in Lewiston, who spent hours with the victims of that tragedy and the families of the deceased of that tragedy,” Mills said, referring to Biden’s visit to Maine in early November of last year following the mass shooting in Lewiston.

According to the progressive billionaire-funded Maine Morning Star, who was present at the debate watch party event, Mills said that “[d]emocracy is at stake” in the November election, and that Trump did not display common sense and civility during the debate.

It is unclear what “common sense” was displayed by President Biden during his rambling and often incoherent statements in the debate, a performance which was widely criticized by Democratic talking heads and has already led to calls for Biden to step aside as his Party’s nominee.

Other issues cited by Mills in order to explain her support for Biden included his administration “helping [Maine] fight PFAS” — toxic man-made “forever chemicals” — as well as helping Maine “fight the rising seas” and granting the state several disaster declarations for federal aid after a series of severe storms.

Mills also found fault with the format of the CNN-hosted presidential debate, telling the Maine Morning Star that “It’s not the level of debate that I was hoping for.”

“It’s not the level of questioning that I was hoping for,” Mills said. “There’s some good questions but there’s no follow up.”

Maine’s Governess will soon be termed out of a job and she is sucking up to the demorat/Marxist left in hopes of landing a national level slot. At least that might move her out of our fine State.

No mention of the open borders because she loves them.
Open borders fits her plan to flood Maine with more foreign welfare recipients and force working Mainers out so the Dirty Dems can have permanent power with all the dumb voters and the media running cover for the Dems and Mills.

Mills’ support for OBiden tells us all we need to know about her ideology and it isn’t pro Maine, pro America, pro capitalism, pro U.S. Constitution, pro U.S. sovereignty or pro America First. She’s nothing but a political hack with supporters who have her same disgraceful beliefs.

Maybe Joe is sharing with Mills some of the Chinese money that Hunter got ?
Maybe that’s why the state police don’t want to bust the Chinese pot growers ?

Mills must have written her responses prior to the debate. One wonders how anyone could create those responses after watching Biden fumble the ball multiple times. Oh yeah, walking in a straight party line no matter the consequences to our nation.

Spoiler alert, Janet. We don’t have a “democracy”. We have a constitutional republic. We don’t pledge allegiance to the democracy, we pledge allegiance to the republic for which our flag stands. It’s right there on the paper. You know the thing!

Seems like a lot of law enforcement there! Is this because they are in Mills pocket and why they won’t lift a finger to end the illegal drug trade? Mills won’t mention it, the state troopers won’t lift a finger local law is absent, the only real law we have are some of the sheriff’s departments that are standing tall! This seems to show how law is in Maine, too many democrats in charge of our law enforcement doing the bidding for the governor!

Her family has all played a part in destroying Maine. Her brothers, her Sister, she is completely owned by the same people who own Biden. She isn’t fooling anyone anymore.
