Remember when I said one of things we have going for us is the GOP is nominating a slate of crazy MAGAs in 2022? MI State Rep candidate Robert Regan just won primary: “I tell my daughters, well, if rape is inevitable, you should just lay back and enjoy it.”


Watch on Twitter

Regan said the pandemic was “fake,” questioned whether Russia had really invaded Ukraine, wants to end CRT in schools and decertify the 2020 election. He is running against Democrat @caglanville

2. GOP Father of the Year right there.

Sheesh.

[Skittles]

3. WHY was he allowed to say that unchallenged

I feel very, VERY sorry for his daughters

[Solly Mack]

4. He sure does hate his daughters.

[Pathwalker]

5. How did he win the primary when the primary isn't until August?

This coming August.

Wonder what he was referring to?

19. I thought the same as you when I read the OP

I didn't know that this was a special election until I did some further reading.

20. I went to (as I posted) the MI Sec of State official site, and look at the election calendar

apparently even that was not enough, LOLOL.

cheers

15. He's running in the 74th District.

Representing a smattering of batshit hinterlands north of Grand Rapids where this sort of gooberglot is par for the course. A handful of conservatives have denounced his comments, but I'm a fucking flying pig if they're not gonna vote for him anyway.

16. If that F'n, woman-hating pos has daughters under 18, CPS needs to investigate

immediately. His daughters, whatever their ages, need counseling. And he needs to be investigated carefully and thoroughly. Pretty sure he is a sexual predator.

17. Fuck this fucking fuck

[Nevilledog]

18. Fucking A

21. back in 2020 his daughters asked people NOT to vote for him.

interview with him in 2020 is in this link (2+ minutes). Sounds like the negative attention helped him.

https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/house-candidates-daughter-begs-voters-not-to-pick-him/

“My daughters Stephanie Regan and Natalie Regan … both sent out tweets and I think it said something to the effect of, ‘For the love of God, don’t vote my dad,’” Regan said.

The tweet posted Wednesday by Stephanie Regan reads: “if you’re in michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. tell everyone.”

if you’re in michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. tell everyone
