WATCH: Jackson tells Collins to ‘shut up’ in Senate debate after she says protester is his supporter
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Democratic opponent Troy Jackson traded barbs Thursday night on the debate stage.
During a debate hosted in part by Maine Public, a protester interrupted Collins to express concern about the environmental effects of data centers.
“So this is obviously one of Troy’s supporters,” the senator said, gesturing to Jackson.
“Oh, shut up,” Jackson responded. “I don’t even know that kid.”
The competitors in one of the nation’s most closely watched Senate races also clashed on whether they show independence from their own parties, among other topics.
