Voting with rich Republicans appears to be an emerging pattern with Congressman Jared Golden.

He was the only Democrat to vote with the Republicans against the Build Back Better bill designed to provide badly-needed services for Mainers and to address climate change.

He voted consistently with Republicans against the ban of the AR-15 until he apologized for doing so shortly after 18 of his former Lewiston neighbors were killed and another 13 injured.

Now it seems he is once again siding with the Republicans against the removal of Donald Trump from the ballot by Shenna Bellows, the Democratic Secretary of State.

Golden informed the media he was against the removal because Trump was not found guilty by trial, yet Golden voted with the Republican majority to remove without trial Congressman George Santos, another crook.

Sorry, I don’t trust Golden any longer.
