Robert Regan is running for the Michigan House. At a recent live-stream event, he stunned his colleagues when he said that he tells his daughters to “lie back and enjoy it” if they are raped. His daughters are not in his corner. One of them urged people not to vote for him when he ran in 2020. He responded that his daughter had been brainwashed by going to the University of Colorado, which filled her with leftwing ideas.
A Republican candidate favored to win a seat in the Michigan House said he tells his daughters to “just lie back and enjoy it” if raped, as he attempted to make an analogy about abandoning efforts to decertify the results of the 2020 election.
Robert Regan, who is running to represent Michigan’s District 74 in the state legislature, made the comments during a Facebook live stream Sunday. The discussion was hosted by the Rescue Michigan Coalition, a conservative group that supports former president Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. The Justice Department found no evidence to support Trump’s baseless allegations.
During the discussion, fellow panelist Amber Harris, a Republican strategist, told the group that it is “too late” to continue challenging the results of the 2020 election, suggesting Republicans should instead move on and focus on future races, to which Regan replied: “I tell my daughters, ‘Well, if rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it….’ ”
A shocked Harris, however, tried to cut in as Regan and the discussion’s host, Rescue Michigan Coalition founder Adam de Angeli, moved on. When de Angeli gave Harris the chance to speak, she said Regan’s comments were “shameful.”
“I’ve got advice to give to your daughters: Don’t do that,” Harris said. “Fight all the time.”
Regan’s three daughters urged voters not to elect him to office in a viral tweet during his 2020 bid for the state House.
“If you’re in Michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. Tell everyone,” Stephanie Regan wrote on Twitter.…
During the discussion, Regan also said that, if elected, he’d push for the decertification of the results of the 2020 election in Michigan. Under both state and federal law, a state can’t decertify an election.
“We do want to decertify this election and we do want it returned to the rightful owner, just like if someone stole your car or stole your jewelry,” Regan said. “It goes back to the rightful owner. You decertify and you give it to the rightful owner, and that’s Donald Trump, and that’s what I’m pushing for and we’re going full-bore on that.”
Other comments by Regan surfaced online after a clip of the live stream went viral, including a 2021 Instagram post from the candidate in which he claimed that feminism is a “Jewish program to degrade and subjugate White men.” Regan has also called the Russian invasion of Ukraine a “fake war just like the fake pandemic.”
In an article in The Hill in 2020 about the tweet by Regan’s daughter, he explained their differences this way:
“A lot of students when they go off to these liberal university campuses, like the University of Colorado, the University of Texas and Austin — and she went to the University of Colorado in Boulder — and you know, they just kind of get sucked into this Marxist, communist ideology and she and I just don’t see eye to eye when it comes to the whole socialism, communism, Marxist philosophy,” he said.
This is so SICK! His daughters should DiSOWN him.
They pretty much have.
GOOD! Maybe Regan is a closet rapist.
Just when you think you’ve heard the lowest from these people, . . .
This Regan punk is a walking disaster with serious, dangerous mental disorders twisting his mind into Gordian knots.
Hopefully this maroon will be rejected by the voters by a wide margin with air support from his daughters. These far right maniacs are a cancer on our society. This jerk thinks the war in Ukraine is a fake war. Please, let’s give this fool a one-way ticket to Kyiv, Ukraine, so he can see and feel how “fake” it is.
What else could one expect from a male???
Decency
Was he quoting Bobby Knight? Good grief.
Regan’s district is northern Grand Rapids, DeVos territory.

Note that he thinks Ukraine is a hoax. Someone. Beam Me Up. Better yet, beam up this guy, who holds his bowels in his skull.
As much as I love & admire our Founding Fathers & the beautiful Constitution that they created, they really missed something that allows such moronic rubes to be elected to our House of Representatives. Not sure how to fix the problem except for a better educated populace, as our Founders also realized was necessary for a Democracy to exist. Sadly, a free, fair & equal public education is being attacked by those very morons who have been placed into a position of power to change things. Welcome to Alice Through the Looking Glass…..or maybe even The Twilight Zone!

INT. OVAL OFFICE – DAY
CU Trump sitting behind the Resolute Desk. Camera back to reveal Rod Serling standing DR.
SERLING
His name, Mr. Little. A man with little education, little taste, little knowledge, little concern for other people. Neglected as a child, he grew into a black hole of neediness. And so he used Daddy’s money to build big, erected his name in Midas-gold letters across the landscape–his every action screaming, “I am worth something.” Everything became a zero-sum game. If someone else failed or was worse off, he was better, a “winner,” and so he cheated and harassed and ridiculed the unfortunate, the stranger, the down and out; appealed to the basest instincts of the basest among us; huffed and puffed and blew himself to gigantic proportions, at least in his own little brain. A twisted, malignant, metastasizing tumor of need and narcissism and knee-jerk nastiness, Mr. Little doesn’t know much, but the biggest thing he doesn’t know is that he just stepped over into a place where everything is bigger than he is, where everything is just beyond the grasp of his little mind and his little hands. He just stepped over into . . . The Twilight Zone.
I saw that episode 😜
His daughters have warned people not to vote for him – before he made these heinous remarks.
