Troy Jackson (D-ME)Democratic Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson has broken his silence on reports that he married (co-mingled with) his second cousin and fathered children with her. Notably, there was no denial of the report. Instead, his campaign chalked it up as “Personal attacks on Troy’s family” as if there’s nothing wrong with marrying your own relative.“Susan Collins will do anything to distract from the fact that she votes with Trump 96% of the time and has sold out working people in Maine. Personal attacks on Troy’s family are shameful and desperate,” the Jackson campaign said in a statement to Fox News.As The Gateway Pundit reported, it was revealed that Jackson’s wife is actually his second cousin. The pair had two children together.“Jackson, a 26-year politician and lobbyist, has made a career of bragging that he’s a is a fifth-generation logger, but you don’t have to go far back the generational line to find where it crosses paths with the ancestors of his significant other Lana M. Pelletier,” Maine Wire editor-in-chief Steve Robinson revealed.“Jackson and Pelletier share the same great-grandparents: Thomas Pelletier and Edith Thibodeau. Thomas and Edith’s daughter Albertine was Troy’s grandmother; their son Louis Sr. was Lana’s grandfather. That makes Troy and Lana second cousins on the Pelletier line.”MORE:Maine Attraction: Latest Maine Democrat Senatorial Candidate Troy Jackson’s Long Time Partner is His Second Cousin and He Has Two Kids with Her/*!
