GOP Candidate Doubles Down On Astonishing Rape Comments

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

Michigan state House candidate Robert “RJ” Regan is pretty annoyed at how everyone’s making such a big deal over his ghoulish comparison of accepting the 2020 election results to telling his daughters to “just lie back and enjoy it” if they get raped.

Maybe if his daughters ever get raped they can let him know how well that strategy works.

The Republican candidate argued that the real issues are that the libs “want to teach” kids “how to be woke and how to put on a condom.””

Yeah, we don’t want any of that how to live a decent life crap.

The Regan candidacy in MI highlights the intense competition for most contemptible human necessary for selecting a gooper nominee for any office.

In order to make up for being so mean about Steve King’s nazi-loving racism the fascistgop should appoint him head of the RNC.

Not being up to speed on all things FL I’m going to assume that DeSatan’s special election police will start with 25 paid employees to be assisted by every heavily armed and violence prone racist ‘volunteer’ in the state.

So much goodness in today’s morning memo.

It is more evil than stupid. This is a man who would feel very entitled to rape a woman. I feel so sorry for his daughters and their mother. I wonder how many times he told her to “ relax…”

So, how long will it take other Reich wing Govs to establish their own voter police. Very concerning.

  • Former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller filed a lawsuit against the Jan. 6 committee to block its subpoena of T-Mobile for his phone records … and THAT is how we found out the married 36-year-old is still on his parents’ family plan.

Oh, come on people. I’m almost certain he’s a real boy.

Since Republicans seem to think that one state can enforce laws in another state (e.g., Missouri’s trying to keep its women from seeking abortions in other states), perhaps DeSantis should send his election brownshirts up into NC to investigate some voter fraud involving Mark Meadows.

It sounds like people are interpreting the Michigan guy’s remarks as advocating advice of lying back and taking it.

I read them differently. He seems to be saying that delusional Republicans (like him) are being told to do something that he considers analogous.

He doesn’t think a woman being raped should lie back and take it.

And he doesn’t think a person who has been fooled by My Pillow Head and Orange Mussolini should “lie back and take” Biden being president.

It’s still a gross comparison, and he’s either delusional or completely dishonest.

But I don’t think he’s saying women should put up with rape.

For me, the bigger issue is that the plan is not a “family plan”, but instead under his parents’ business account. Which means that they wrote-off Stephen’s personal phone as a business expense.

I’m curious why he sees himself as immune to sexual assault.
