Michigan candidate says he tells daughters to ‘lie back and enjoy’ if rape is inevitable

A Michigan Republican said he tells his daughters to “lie back and enjoy it” if rape is inevitable in remarks that drew harsh backlash from party leaders Tuesday.

Robert “RJ” Regan, who is running for a state House seat, made the comments on a Sunday Facebook livestream hosted by a conservative group.

Regan used the crude analogy while telling another participant that it was not too late to decertify the 2020 presidential election, saying he facetiously tells his daughters: “Well if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it.”

The Kent County candidate — who won a four-way special election to snag the Republican nomination for the seat last week — also recently said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was a “fake war just like the fake pandemic.”

Facetious or not, that is a remarkably stupid thing for any father to say.

Idiot.

Context: Regan and his daughter are not on good terms.

From June 2020:

So, he's not speaking about rape in general, but specifically his daughter.

Which might make him even more of a deranged nut.
