Jason Levesque launched his campaign challenging Rep. Michael Michaud for the 2nd Congressional District seat in Auburn last week with smiles and handshakes all around.

Days later, Levesque posted a serious accusation on his Facebook page, claiming a "very liberal" member of the Auburn Public Library's board of directors improperly canceled Levesque's Tuesday campaign appearance at the library after seeing Levesque interviewed on television. Levesque then suggested to supporters in a widely-circulated e-mail that the cancellation was just another repulsive game of "old tricks" played by the Democrats to thwart conservative progress.

The accusation against the library was not fair and not true. And that's an incredibly poor, and utterly curious, way for Levesque to muster support for his tender campaign.

It is true that the library canceled Levesque's appearance, but not for the reasons he claims.
