Statement from Maine Democratic Party Executive Director Tim Grose:
“The blatant conspiracies and misinformation being spread by some Republican candidates & officials about these devastating natural disasters are dangerous.
“The lies and falsehoods peddled by Maine GOP House candidate Wendy Lee MacDowell, Marjorie Taylor Greene, & Donald Trump are sowing chaos and distrust that are hindering relief efforts, and impeding the work of local, state, and federal officials to render aid to the victims of these catastrophic–and natural–extreme weather events. Last winter, the people and communities of Maine’s Kennebec River Valley suffered some of the worst flooding from the storms that impacted our state, and they clearly cannot trust Wendy Lee MacDowell’s judgment or her ability to lead or respond in times of crisis.”
