The Republican nominee in a race for a Michigan House seat stirred controversy with regard to a comment he made about rape and his daughters.
Robert Regan, a candidate favored to win the 74th District in west Michigan, was participating in a Facebook livestream Sunday for the Michigan Rescue Coalition when he claimed that he tells his three daughters that"if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it."Facing growing outrage, Regan told Bridge Michigan on Monday that he meant to stress that “nothing is inevitable" when he made the remark.
The host of the show, Adam de Angeli, tells me he believes Regan"misspoke," trying to say that not contesting the election *would be like* telling his daughters to lay back and enjoy rape. Carol Glanville, the Democratic nominee running in the same district as Regan, posted a screenshot of the livestream on social media. She wrote that she was"stunned that a person who wishes to hold public office would hold such beliefs."
Rape is never inevitable, acceptable, or warranted and is the worst type of personal violation.
