11. A man with a Nazi tattoo, a man who sexted 6 women
Mon Jul 6, 2026, 09:10 PM
Monday

shortly after getting married, and a man who rapes women, is not the sort of morally intact man who is going to say, "Why yes, I will put my own ego aside and turn over power that I was just handed by voters because some (lots of) people think the fact that I am a disgusting rapist is abhorrent."

This man is completely messed up in the head. The Nazi tattoo was a clear warning sign. Even if people didn't want to believe the Nazi tattoo, the sexting 6 different women was a huge warning sign. And now this. I full expect there will be more women he has assaulted, just like Eric Swalwell.

No, we cannot allow him to take office. He needs to step down. I want to believe that if Maine voters are serious about flipping that seat, they would consider another strong democrat, and no one is going to seriously consider a rapist.
