MAGA Activist-Clown Busted For OUI

Chud leaves six-year-old home alone while driving drunk. Child Protective Services gets involved.

It was a little before midnight on Feb. 13 when an Augusta police officer patrolling Riverside Drive noticed a car stuck in a snowbank. The mid-winter evening’s light flurries and mist had made this stretch of Route 100 slick. Folks had been slipin’ and slidin’ all night, so the cop pulled over to lend a helping hand.

The driver of the stuck car — a neck-bearded white male in his mid-30s — must have been all nerved up when the cruiser arrived on the scene. He’d been drinking. And, equally bad, he’d left his six-year-old kid alone in his Augusta apartment, while out galavanting and giving a pal a ride home after an evening of adult beverages and dabs.

Didn’t take long for the cop to get suspicious about the distressed motorist. Dude smelled of booze and was acting odd. His bug eyes were a-bulging and his neck-beard was a-bristling. Plus the car’s [[redacted]] vanity license plate, the dozen-and-a-half Trump bumper stickers plastered all over the vehicle and the life-sized cardboard cutout of the orange president propped up in the back seat gave the cop pause.

Wait a minute. He knew this guy. Not by name, but by reputation. Almost didn’t recognize him without his red, white and blue flag suit and cartoonishly oversized foam red MAGA hat.

Checking his license confirmed it. The individual was Nick Blanchard, 35 years of age, of Augusta. A weirdo known to local authorities, initially thanks to a long list of pandemic-era criminal trespass notices served on him from various Hannafords, Shaw’s and Walmarts in southern and central Maine, for messing with store employees and mask policy. He was also one of the dudes in D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021 seen on video destroying Capitol barricades. (Never charged, but an FBI agent who interviewed the bloke post-riot told me that Blanchard “liked to talk.”)

More recently, though, Blanchard is known, locally, for his hobby of bringing his life-sized cardboard Trump doll to various school board meetings IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS HIS KID DOESN’T ATTEND and using the public comment periods to scold school officials with his many grievances. His most recent fixation: the genitalia of high school athletes. Also, he’s hyper-focused on school bathroom policy.

All very strange for a man of his age without a kid in the local schools. His obsession with students’ biological functions makes the chud seem like a real pedo or perv. Especially since I’ve been told by multiple sources the 35-year-old Blanchard prefers the company of females between the ages of 20 and 21.
