Robert "RJ" Regan is running for state representative in Michigan. One of his daughters previously asked the public not to vote for him.Source: Huff Post
A GOP candidate running for Michigans House of Representatives said during a Facebook Live broadcast that he tells his daughters to lie back and enjoy rape if its inevitable.
Robert RJ Regan, who won the GOP special primary in the states 74th district last week, was discussing how to decertify the 2020 presidential election during a Facebook Live broadcast for the Republican group Rescue Michigan Coalition on Sunday when he made the comment.
Having three daughters, I tell my daughters, Well, if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it, Regan said roughly 10 minutes into the broadcast. Thats not how we roll, thats not how we won this election.
That was a shameful comment, attendee Amber Harris said in response.
Host Adam de Angeli then joked that the show might not stream for much longer after what Robert said.

Voters of Michigan, call out this DISGUSTING man if he is running in your District.

OP
I saw a replay of his statement. I don't think he said that to his daughters.

"Clayton Williams" and "Texas" into his favorite search engine.

I think he was trying for sarcasm: that if he "lays down" and accepts the result of the 2020 election, it would be like telling his daughters to "lay down and enjoy" rape.
He is running for the state's house of representatives. It's sort of an "entry-level" political goal.
Given his district, I'd bet he wins the seat.
