Poor Troy Jackson.
He can’t buy a serious ticket to a U.S. Senate seat without first enduring a ribald ribbing on social media.
X users were having more fun laughing over Troy’s marital partnership with his second cousin than attendees at an American Legion bean supper in Allagash, Maine pop. 240.
After Maine Wire chief editor Steve Robinson reported that the former state senate president is attached to his second cousin, with whom he has two kids, all bets were off for X users.
“His favorite dating app is 23AndMe,” PoliMath joked on X.
“Sydney Sweeney eat your heart out,” suggested CerealKiller. “Troy Jackson has similar genes to the mother of his children.”
@Storm_Paglia found it humorous that Jackson was dishing out dating advice from his dinner table in Washington. “Everyman Mainer eating at an elitist DC restaurant one block from the White House,” Stormy tweeted.
As for marriage between cousins, @Kyle_Beckley offered, “She is my second cousin, once removed.” Once removed? What does that mean? “My uncle pulled me off her.”
Substackers were also getting in on the fun with a little additional X-rated humor, no pun intended.
HandsomePristinePatriot offered this gem:
“Know what a girl from Allagash says after sex?
“’Get off me Dad, you’re crushing my smokes.’”
Jackson even found some incestuous sympathy on X, where poster @BillyBobWalter1 said, “I’m no Troy Jackson fan but..having kids with your 2nd cousin up there is probably pretty common.”
In other words, consanguinity is a common denominator in the tiny town of Allagash, where everything is apparently relative.
