Regan created the political opportunity for Democrats after being rebuked by party officials, including Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser, for comments that touched on rape and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Michigan Republicans stuck with an anti-Semitic, conspiracy theorist candidate who said that rape victims should “lie back and enjoy it.” They refused to ask him to leave the race because they thought he would win. Last night, he lost. pic.twitter.com/DRHX4mO3FL
