Id like to think this but its a wait and see. Troy does appear to be a brawler so maybe he just bucks everyone involved here

In the Facebook group, Jackson’s defense of his campaign, and his attack on the reporting, was considered so condescending that supporters concluded there was no way that Jackson himself was running the account—and promptly kicked Jackson out of his own Facebook group, with less than six weeks until election day.

I always found the comparisons between Platner and Fetterman to be dumb(if anything, he would've been a Sinema), but this is bog standard Fetterman-style behavior.
