The daughter of a conservative candidate running for a seat in the Michigan state House is urging everyone please, for the love of god, do not to vote for her father.
Stephanie Regan is the daughter of Republican state House candidate Robert Regan, a pro Trump Republican who doesn’t believe in climate change, wants to make English the “official language” of the United States, and describes himself as so conservative he “makes Rush Limbaugh look like a liberal.”
On Tuesday, she tweeted: “if you’re in michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. tell everyone.”

I looked him up and just the “Where I stand in the issues” page on his own website is fucking terrifying. We cannot allow men with these views into our government.

Robert Regan responded to his daughter’s anti-endorsement in a passive-aggressive statement posted to Facebook yesterday, writing: “I am happy that she feels confident enough in our relationship to express her opposing thoughts so publicly.”

Speaking to local media, he blamed Stephanie’s college for indoctrinating her with radical “Marxist” ideas.
“When they go off to college, quite frankly they get involved with these Marxist, socialist universities, and they start getting indoctrinated with things that are completely polar opposite from where you raised them,” he said, adding that he and his daughter do not see eye to eye on systemic racism, white privilege, and Black Lives Matter.
After her tweet went viral, Stephanie Regan posted another one thanking everyone for their support.
“ty everyone offering support and love! my dms and notifs are crazy it’s hard to reply but pls know i appreciate u!!!!” she wrote.

Yikes! But good for her for having a mind of her own and making these decisions for herself.

My oh my, it seems there’s no loyalty between a daughter and her father. That being said, this should be the wake up call to the voters in Michigan to vote for this conservative versus his liberal opponent, as liberals haven’t done a damned thing to improve lives and living conditions in Michigan and for that matter, anyplace controlled by the liberals. The reasons are many, take a look at what’s going on in MI under witless gretchen witmer, the liberal governor destroying this former mid west gem allowing unfettered rioting, looting and burning. Time for people to start getting smart and get rid of the slugs destroying America before it’s too late. Sadly in many places the destruction and demise will take years to reverse. For those unconvinced of this a look and smell at California New York, Michigan and New Jersey are in order for as real as liberalism and progressivism gets. The reality will be shocking and eye opening. These former great states and places to live and work have been destroyed by years of progressivism and liberal fiscal mismanagement.

Yeah, that must be why California is still the 5th largest economy in the world. No one wants to work with such successful liberalism.

Yes 18 yrs of his indoctrination and only takes 4 to undue 18 years. B.S. These type of politicians will turn this country into a dictatorship. We will not be able to be free or able able to express ourselves as individuals. We will be forced to live by a small group of people’s will that will tell us how we have to live our lives.

What a shame her father thinks she is to stupid to form her own opinion.

Way to go Stephanie!

it depends on the area if this will work or not…a few years ago, a group of siblings publicly came out against their VERY conservative brother and he still won.

@Winemaker it seems that your definition of conservative is the same one as ours for narcissistic cruel dictator. Go back to your cave.

i can’t help but wonder if this is a publicity stunt. he’s running in a republican primary, not a general election; if he’s trying to win the conservative vote, an anti-endorsement from an alleged liberal socialist would be a huge win for him. classic reverse psychology. and he’s now getting nationwide media coverage at zero cost to his campaign — this is unheard of in a local primary election.

Oy vey !! Dad must be a real d-bag for his own kid to tell people NOT to vote for him !! Heed her warning. No more Drumpies elected or appointed to ANY office in America !!! Save the USA.. Vote BLUE in Nov 2020 !!

The best part (aside from how awesome Steph is!), is that her pathetic father blames it on her getting an education. LOL! It’s best to keep ’em ig’rant.
