Maine Democrat Senate Candidate Richard Fochtmann laughs about rising White male suicide

Richard Fochtmann, pronounced "fucked man", speaks at a public forum held by the Maine Democratic Party shortly before the November. 2016 elections. The attending Democrats evidently think his remarks celebrating increasing suicide rates among White males were funny. Too bad the party didn't choose to offer Kool-Aid as a refreshment for the event. 

Some liberal websites, such as the Daily Caller, are claiming that an attendee had immediately called Fochtmann out for his joke, and that Fochtmann even apologized. But oddly they do not produce any evidence to support the claim.
