On Thursday, the Associated Press revealed new details about past discrimination lawsuits against Kevin Rinke, a former Toyota dealership owner now running for governor of Michigan.

"Court documents state that Rinke also referred to his own genitals as 'golden' while threatening to sexually assault a used car manager if he didn’t 'do a good job,'" reported Brian Slodysko, Sara Burnett, and Thomas Beaumont. "If the manager did a 'great job,' the court documents state, Rinke would have allowed the man to pleasure him sexually."

"Much of Rinke’s conduct was reported by his personal secretary, who alleged that he would inquire about her underwear, call her at home if she failed to say goodnight and would also phone to ask 'which young stud' she was with while speculating about her sex life," said the report. "Once, when employees were looking at pictures of newborn babies, Rinke commented on how well-endowed one of the baby boys was, the lawsuit states."

This comes after previous reporting by The Detroit News, which revealed past litigation alleges Rinke made a number of sexist comments including that women are too "ignorant and stupid" to work in public, and that he used racial slurs and asked a Black employee who he stole his car from at a party.

1. What a slob, but that's the GOPs best they can find.

[Probatim]

4. I don't think they're sending us their best people...

[Bluethroughu]

5. That's their best people, have you ever talked to a Trumper?

[Probatim]

10. Only when I have to - like when I go to the in-laws...

[Bluethroughu]

11. That made me laugh...as if in laws are not hard enough.

We can't even handle ours, so we don't.

15. They were in FL for the winter and I haven't had the pleasure of seeing them this summer.

I'm fully expecting to see a Mastriano sign in their yard or a sticker on one of their cars when I visit.

It'll be interesting to see how that goes.

16. You need a big Democrats kicking ass and taking names button

On your T-shirt when you get together. I wouldn't say anything until they do, and then let them know they have their signs and bumper stickers, why can't you have yours. Freedom! USA! USA! USA!

As you can see my patience is wearing thin for people supporting authoritarian rule, but maybe they will see how crazy the situation is with mirrored behavior, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A leading contender for the Republican nomination for governor in Michigan was sued in the 1990s, accused of using racial slurs about Black people in the workplace and sexually harassing his employees.

One of his rivals pleaded not guilty in federal court on Thursday to misdemeanor charges after authorities said he rallied Donald Trump’s supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection. Another candidate is a chiropractor and self-help guru who hawked supplements he falsely claimed treated COVID-19.

And even the contender who has garnered mainstream support had an “admittedly lame” hobby acting in low-budget horror pictures, one of which included a zombie biting off a man’s genitals.

In one of the most politically consequential states in the U.S., the Republican primary for governor is shaping up as a battle of whose personal baggage is the least disqualifying. In an otherwise favorable election year for Republicans, the spectacle surrounding the Aug. 2 contest could hobble the party’s effort to defeat Democratic incumbent Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the fall.

“Whitmer can attack every one of them,” said Bernie Porn, a Lansing-based pollster with more than three decades experience surveying the state. “There are skeletons in the closet of most of the Republican candidates.”

I wondered what on Earth Bernie Sanders had to do with this until your last paragraph. I think I'd change my name, haha

Whitmer should use all of this in her ads/speeches.
