MAINE DEM WHO BOOTED TRUMP FROM BALLOT MET WITH BIDEN, CALLED ELECTORAL COLLEGE
‘WHITE SUPREMACY’

By Rich Calder

Published Dec. 30, 2023, 5:14 p.m. ET

The Maine Democrat who moved to boot former President Donald Trump from the
state’s Republican primary ballot visited the White House twice in the past year
— meeting President Joe Biden during one jaunt — and reportedly once referred to
the Electoral College as a “relic of white supremacy.”

Secretary of State Shenna Bellows visited the White House in March and again in
June, visitor logs show.

On March 22, she attended a Women’s History Month event and took a photo with a
smiling Biden, putting his left hand and on her shoulder and clutching one of
her hands with his right.

She posted it on Instagram a day later, saying “Birthday jaunt to DC for a
Women’s History Month event at the White House yesterday and walking around
today.”

She boasted it was an “honor” meeting Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and
other “female leaders” at the gathering in press release put out by her office.

Bellows also visited the White House June 6, to meet with Justin Vail, a special
assistant to Biden, Fox News reported .

In June 2021, Bellows, a former state Senator in Maine, wrote an op-ed piece for
the lefty platform Democracy Docket claiming she decided to run for secretary of
state because she “was truly frightened for our democracy” following the 2020
presidential election.

She also took a shot at the Electoral College that helped get Trump elected in
2016, claiming “voting rights for our neighbors matter as much as our own,
especially when the relic of white supremacy that is the Electoral College
remains in place.”

In her ruling to kick Trump off the state ballot, she cited an “insurrection”
clause in the 14th Amendment and his actions leading up to the Capitol riot on
Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump’s advisors plan to legally challenge the Maine ruling and an earlier one
in Colorado also kicking him off that state’s ballot, but the ex-president is
concerned that some conservative judges on the Supreme Court may rule against
him, the New York Times reported.

Meanwhile, Maine State Police are reportedly investigating a “swatting” call
falsely claiming a man broke into Bellows’ home Friday night.

Bellows posted on Facebook Saturday and that she and her family are “safe,” but
added her office staff have been dealing with “non-stop threatening
communications” since her anti-Trump decision.

“This behavior is unacceptable,” she wrote.
