Nebraska Dems To Senate Nominee: Get Out — Now — Over Sexual Harassment

Chris Janicek must have seemed like a dream candidate for Nebraska Democrats hoping to unseat Ben Sasse. The openly gay moderate might have given them enough credibility on both wings of their party and among Cornhuskers to give a serious challenge to incumbent Republican Ben Sasse, whose occasional clashes with Trump might have left him a little vulnerable.

Instead, Nebraska Democrats have a nightmare on their hands. E-mails from Janicek have emerged that he sent to a woman on his campaign discussing whether to spend money on “getting her laid,” and that “it will probably take three guys” to accomplish it. Now they need him to quit in order to replace him:

This is what is called a special kind of stupid. With the real possibility of the Dem Party reacting stupidly hypocritically.

Nebraska Dem Refuses to Bow Out of Senate Race Amid Sexual Harassment Scandal

The Nebraska Democratic Party's nominee for Senate on Monday refused calls from his own party to resign his candidacy following a sexual harassment allegation.

Chris Janicek denied the party's request that he drop out over text messages in which he made sexually explicit remarks about another staffer, the Omaha World-Herald reports. In a group text with at least five people, Janicek mocked a staffer by saying he wanted to "get her laid."

According to the World-Herald, Janicek described lining up men for group sex with the staffer, suggesting that the men could be paid.
