Sounds like the answer is no

The Michigan House of Representatives, where Robert Regan hopes to win a seat. Photo: Carlos Osorio/AP For the past hour, I have struggled to parse an analogy that would-be Michigan representative Robert Regan made during a Facebook Live segment on Sunday.

The way I understand the situation, Regan was attempting to explain the widely disproven idea that Democrats rigged the 2020 election and what he thinks Republicans should do about it now. Pretty quickly, he seemed to realize either that his household proverb defied interpretation or that he had stepped in it, and he pivoted to a more straightforward David-and-Goliath metaphor.

But it wasn’t just his political opponents who took issue with the comment. On the livestream, strategist Amber Harris called it “shameful.” Per Bridge Michigan, the conservative Michigan Freedom Fund called it “dehumanizing” and “disgusting.” Michigan GOP co-chair Meshawn Maddock called it “offensive and disappointing.”

As for the daughters, Regan has three of them, and at least one has publicly stated that electing her father would be a terrible idea. In June 2020, when he was running for a House seat, Stephanie Regan tweeted, “Pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad,” and “tell everyone.” She didn’t say which of his beliefs she took issue with, instead urging Michigan voters to do their research.
