Someone brought the anti-Trump campaign to the doors of Sen. Susan Collins’ constituent office Monday, spray-painting a vulgar insult across the entrance as the Maine Republican fights for a sixth term in one of the country’s most closely watched Senate races.
The words “Trump” and “Whore” appeared in large red letters on the glass doors of Collins’ downtown Biddeford office at 160 Main Street. Maine Senate Assistant Minority Leader Matt Harrington, a Republican from Sanford, shared a photograph Monday morning and called the vandalism “disgusting” and “disappointing.”
The attack is just another incidence in a long line of liberal violence against Republicans in the name of “Defending Democracy.” Susan Collins is one of the most moderate senators in American history and voted against Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court.

Biddeford Police Chief JoAnne Fisk said the department received a report and was investigating. No suspect has been publicly identified, and the paint had been scrubbed off by mid-afternoon.
Collins’ chief of staff, Katie Brown, called the incident “unacceptable” and said the senator and her staff “will not be intimidated.” Collins was in Washington at the time, but the Biddeford office remained open and continued serving constituents.

The vandalism comes amid a Senate campaign that has already forced Maine Democrats to replace their nominee and defend his successor’s unusual personal history. Collins faces former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, who became the Democratic nominee after Graham Platner withdrew following a rape allegation that he denied. Party delegates selected Jackson in July to salvage their challenge to the longtime Republican incumbent.
Jackson then drew scrutiny over reports that he fathered two children with his second cousin, longtime partner Lana Pelletier. Genealogical records cited in the reporting identify shared great-grandparents. The couple have been together for decades and have not legally married.
The subject has followed Jackson into the general election. Collins raised the relationship in a September interview, while Jackson accused her of attacking his family to distract from her record. The exchange added another personal dispute to a contest Democrats had already spent much of the summer trying to stabilize.
Jackson condemned Monday’s vandalism, saying political disagreements did not excuse defacing the senator’s office.
“There’s no place for this in Maine. Vandalism and intimidation are wrong, full stop,” Jackson said. “Senator Collins and her staff should be able to do their jobs without anyone defacing their office, and I condemn whoever did this.”
The Biddeford office had previously attracted protesters after a fatal July shooting involving immigration officers nearby, according to the Bangor Daily News. Police said there had been no recent vandalism at the location before Monday. Whoever painted the message targeted an office responsible for helping Mainers navigate federal agencies, and Collins’ staff said that work would continue.
