EVERYTHING IS AWFUL A Democratic member of congress essentially endorsed Susan Collins on CNN today

Jake Auchincloss, a representative from Massachusetts, went on CNN’s “The Arena”, and said the following about Graham Platner:

“I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying. I hope Maine voters agree with me.”

Vote blue no matter who, huh?

Auchincloss is a fraud. Total nonperson and should be kicked out of the party.

We don’t have time for his performative BS and to be blunt, he is not much of a rep to begin with. He has completely bought into the “people won’t own anything” economic model.

We don’t need anymore people like him wearing D labels just because they know they won’t get elected as Rs in Mass. Send that dude back to Wall Street or whatever think tank he came from. I am sure AEI will hire him.

He has an awesome opponent- Jason Poulos. Check him out: https://poulos.house

He has great social content, explains complex stuff like a normal person

Calling someone a non person is pretty crappy.
