January 1, Maine Senator’s Office Targeted Again in Disturbing Attack

Wyatt’s Take

• Left-wing extremists keep attacking a Republican senator’s office with violent graffiti and red paint
• The violence comes after an ICE shooting that radicals blame on Sen. Collins
• Police are investigating while staff refuse to be intimidated by these tactics

Sen. Susan Collins’ Maine office was vandalized for the second time in a month just before Election Day. Vandals dumped red paint on the sidewalk and scrawled “BLOOD on her HANDS” in front of her Biddeford location.

“This is another incident in a series and the second attempt at our Biddeford office to intimidate the Senator and her staff,” said Collins’ chief of staff Katie Brown.

“These tactics are disturbing, but not effective. Our staff is undeterred and on the job.”

The office sits near where an ICE officer shot and killed a Colombian national in July. Days later, protesters stormed the building chanting “vote her out.”

In September, someone spray-painted “Trump whore” on the office door. This latest attack used the same red paint theme with even more threatening language.

Her Democratic challenger Troy Jackson condemned the September vandalism, saying, “Senator Collins and her staff should be able to do their jobs without anyone defacing their office, and I condemn whoever did this.”

Biddeford police are now investigating this new incident as authorities work to protect elected officials from political violence.

Wyatt Matters

Working Americans expect their elected leaders to serve without fear of mob tactics. When political disagreement turns into vandalism and threats, it threatens the democratic process that keeps this country strong.
