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.”

Indeed, Obama said the exact same thing but cryptically and cowardily as an anitgun pedo incestuous father: I would not punish my daughter with a baby (insinuating if he would have told her to just enjoy if he had screwed her pregnant)

That part seems important.

Uh, no. It isn't.

If you’ve met a lot of politicians, a lot of them are dopes.

However, it sounds like he was mocking anyone saying that, as an analogy to accepting the fraudulent election.

Democrats are good at using the opposite of what you meant.

See Bill Bennet.

Probably should stay away from rape, even if the point being made is valid. Use robbed instead for this metaphor.

The line actually goes back to Victorian times I think when the recommendation to a virgin bride about sex was to lie back and think of England if they didn’t like it.

Years ago in NYC there was a very popular weatherman. He was funny as well as informative. One day , on the news story about some poor woman was raped while walking in Central Park. After the report his spot for weather update came and his first comment was..... Con-fusses says. “ if rape is inevitable, just lay back and enjoy it. After so many years on the air, Dr Weatherbee was fired that same day. This was in early 60`s.

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.”

Per the writer's own words, these two sentences mean exact opposites with regard to the usage of the badly selected analogy. The author is trying to hide the sarcastic nature of the comment, hoping that no one will know what 'facetiously' means.

However, using this as the analogy was absolutely the wrong thing to do, IMO.

That is of course actually a different line.

Looks like this guy is going for the Early Cernovich vibe:

True. Completely different circumstance. The lie back part seemed familiar.

YES I remember that! I was watching him on TV when he said that, I couldn’t believe it. Right after a report on rape he said “Confucius says if rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it”...You could see his career entirely evaporate in mere seconds. I heard later he was drunk and had a drinking problem. Talk about self sabotage and BTW he died not long after that only in his 50s
