Faux-Democrat Max Davidson, who jumped in to primary incumbent Sen. Kathy Klausmeier (D-8) at the last moment, has now issued a lengthy \u201cDon\u2019t Cry for Me, Argentina\u201d statement withdrawing from the race<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I have been slandered, insulted and had my name dragged through the mud because I challenged the Annapolis establishments preferred candidate. I was called a plant, a fake Democrat among many other things. What’s more, the Democratic Senate Caucus spent untold dollars on advertisements calling me a Republican plant. This is completely absurd and wrong. These allegations have made it impossible for me to have a fair shot at running for office currently.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Davidson\u2019s claims that he has been \u201cslandered\u201d and that he is a progressive Democrat even as he scurries back into his hole remain untrue. He gave far more money<\/a> to right-wing Republicans than Democrats and doth protested too much<\/a> in his response after I pointed them out. He still has yet to deny any connection with Republican Christian Miele.<\/p>\n

If anyone has been slandered, it is the Seventh State. If “untold dollars” were directed by the Annapolis establishment to attack Max, I sure didn\u2019t see any of them. I have never held any Annapolis job nor received a dime in payment from the Democratic Senate Caucus or any member of the General Assembly.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, more evidence has emerged that Max is a right-wing kook. After learning from a fellow journalist that Davidson was running for office, Charles Daye shared with me concrete evidence from Facebook of Max\u2019s true political sympathies:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Attacking the decline of English dominance, transgender Americans and defending Milo sure doesn’t sound like standard progressive talking points. Trying to trash someone for not earning enough is also not the acme of class.<\/p>\n

This approach is more commonly found among people who appear on FOX and Friends. In short, there is more evidence to support rumors that Max is a Black Lives Matter-hating, Trump-supporting sort of guy than a “Berniecrat.”<\/p>\n

So long, Max. We hardly knew you. But what we did was more than enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
