A Republican candidate for the Michigan House of Representatives who made headlines in March for suggesting that women who are raped should "lie back and enjoy it" has lost his race in a surprise defeat.
Robert "RJ" Regan has lost his bid to represent Michigan's 74th district, according to unofficial results reported by The Detroit Free Press on Tuesday night and with all precincts reporting.
Democrat Carol Glanville had defeated Regan in the special election by more than 1,500 votes based on results as of 10.30 p.m. ET, winning 51 percent of the vote to Regan's 40 percent, while 7.9 percent support went to write-in candidates.
"West Michigan values of integrity, decency, and care for the common good won tonight," Glanville tweeted in response to her apparent victory.

Regan has made numerous offensive and just plain stupid statements. He is a stupid, obnoxious asshole which these days makes one a perfect GQP candidate.

Let em run and fill confident, and then jerk the hook deep into their mouth. They finally caught the car they been chasing for 50 years and sank their teeth into the tire. Now they can flop over and over slamming their heads into the pavement with each rotation as the car rolls on down the road.
Fuck em all, and if they get pregnant, make em carry that radical left liberal fetus to term.
