The Maine Democrats have a long history of being aligned with the causes of labor and working families. Many hardworking people once took membership within the ranks of the Party of Mike Michaud, Andrew Jackson, and FDR.

Lately the trends of membership among the rank of the Maine Democrats have become extreme. Their members have laughed at the high rate of suicide among white males, have embraced giving welfare to people who are sympathetic towards ISIS, and have supported the causes of politicians who support driving down the wages of American workers.

Recently a member of the Maine House of Representatives, Walter Kumiega III, a Democrat from Little Deer Isle, posted on Facebook that he supports the radical and violent organization Antifa.

In his post, which can be seen below, Rep. Walter Kumiega III writes, “The Antifa might go to (sic) far at times, but they are on the right side.”

Can a violent political organization, which has caused multi-millions of dollars in damages due to rioting, be “on the right side”?

Will the Maine Democrats disavow this comment?

Does Rep. Walter Kumiega III support the burning of the American flag, something that members of Antifa regularly do?
