Something In The Water? Latest Collins Race Entrant Wants To “Make America Healthy Again”

The field of U.S. Senate wannabes is growing by leaps and pounds – evidence the latest candidate worried you’re putting on excessive weight.

Air Force veteran Daira Smith Rodriguez, a Make America Healthy Again acolyte, has her eyes set on the seat held by five-term Republican Susan Collins.

“Millions of Americans are surrounded by food they can’t eat,” Democrat Rodriguez says.

Her campaign staff includes a digital fundraiser for socialist Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral bid and longtime Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who worked for former President Joe Biden’s campaign.

But if Rodriguez is hoping to bring the Mamdani brand of anti-Semitism to Maine, she may have to stand in line before she even gets to the upper chamber.

One of her fellow Democrats also in the race, Graham Platner, was the first to hire a top Mamdani adviser to assist with his Senate campaign.

Platner’s close association with Mamdani and his political views have been enough to earn him the nickname “Maine’s Mamdani.”

Platner’s association with 2014 Bowdoin College grad Mamdani shows the Dems are looking to export Mamdani’s leftist policies across the country, according to Maine GOP executive director Jason Savage.

But enough about the racist NYC mayoral candidate.

In her campaign-launch video, Rodriguez seems to have grabbed a bite of Platner’s platform, such as calling what’s happening in Gaza genocide.

Oh, wait, weren’t we done with Mamdani’s epoch hatred for Israel?

But enough about racism, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Can’t we get back to the dining hall?

OK, please pass the butter – but only if it’s not dairy-sourced.

From Rodriguez’ launch video: “Food labeling, broken. Food safety, broken. Supply chains, broken,” she says. “And nobody is looking out for us. But keep your receipts. Send them to me. I can tell you exactly why it’s making you sick, and why it’s so damn expensive.”
