From the article: "Also in 2022, a Michigan Republican candidate said he told his daughters “If rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it.”
I do not think I've ever read a statement from someone that has pissed me off so fucking quickly. Someone needs to check on this man's daughters and fucking take them from him, forcibly if necessary, ASAP, and then put them with a family who legitimately loves them.
You're right. They are the ones platforming these types of people.
I'd like to hope that enough of them would hear something like that and be like "Gross, I want nothing to do with the likes of this fucking asshole", however, unfortunately, I do not know that this would be the reality. Which is an absolutely mind-boggling statement to make.
