Journalist Matthew Foldi caught up with Maine Democrat Senate candidate Troy Jackson and had a few questions a visitor to Maine might ask. (Sidenote: excellent camera work by Storm Paglia of our very own Salem Media).
Just caught up with Troy Jackson in DC — asked him for some dating advice since he apparently knew the right places to take his cousin

Jackson had an incredible opportunity to talk up some amazing places to visit in Maine. Get those tourist dollars pumping! He seemed stumped, though.
Matthew's interview has received hundreds of thousands of views. It's a shame ol' Troy who wants to be a Senator of Maine seems to not know a whole lot about the state.

Something was off. He could barely form a sentence. Weird!

Is that his new campaign flyer? He's really leaning into being married to his cousin.
He could have won the day if he said to stop by Cousins Maine Lobster in Portland on way up.

He would have won the day if he recommended ANYTHING at all.
Dude, @storm_paglia is SAVAGE. Love it.

@SenSusanCollin your opponent can't name a good lobster restaurant.

He could've at least said McLaughlins Seafood, The Eagles Nest, or Dorr's on Broadway in Bangor.
Jackson apparently grew up in Maine. Why is he so stumped?
Is he at Denny’s? Eating a Moon over My Hammy?

Of course, the Democrats are mad in the comments. They are so silly.
All this does is make it clear what a petty person you are.

You idiot. This won’t land.

Ur a bootlicking camera chimp

What did the chimps ever do to you?
So you're a **k for interrupting his dinner.

It doesn't look like Troy misses many meals. He'll be fine.
Would you have asked 3rd cousins #QueenElizabethII and #PrincePhillip the same question?

Obviously, they are both dead now, but had they been alive, it's quite difficult to get an audience with them.
Somehow the Democrats located a younger clone of Jerry Nadler to run for Senate in Maine https://t.co/Ze566pbmzi

Troy is a bit less wide.
Troy Jackson can't name a lobster joint in Maine?! https://t.co/uEN0QfSRO9

He cannot.
Way to go, Storm! https://t.co/HiNU1lrVk4

Everyman Mainer eating at an elitist DC restaurant one block from the White House https://t.co/aEwu0FgdOy

It's kind of a weird place for a guy running for office right now in Maine to be, honestly.
Always bet on @SenSusanCollins https://t.co/Ke3ypZQ67J pic.twitter.com/sn3Gix9L9F
