The HillThe daughter of a candidate running for a seat in the Michigan state House has drawn viral attention online after taking to Twitter earlier this week to plead with voters not to elect her father to office.
In the viral tweet, which has racked up more than 159,000 likes in the past two days, Stephanie Regan, the daughter of Republican state House candidate Robert Regan, writes, If youre in Michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. Tell everyone.
...snip...
Regan addressed his daughter's tweets in a lengthy statement posted to Facebook on Thursday afternoon, saying in part, "I am happy that she feels confident enough in our relationship to express her opposing thoughts so publicly" while encouraging her and others to voice their own opinions.
The candidate told The Hill on Thursday when reached for comment that he was not completely surprised by his daughter's words given their disagreements over issues like systemic racism, the existence of white privilege and Black Lives Matter.

Aside from the fact he is a republican, he seemingly did a good job raising his daughter. May she help him come over from the dark side.

It sounds like her dad is proud of this "endorsement" by his daughters.
This smug asshole is absolutely delighted by this opportunity to tell the assholes who vote for him exactly what kind of asshole he is.
He should be paying "The Hill" for their "fair and balanced" coverage.
