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 you’re in Michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. Tell everyone.”
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.
“A lot of students when they go off to these liberal university campuses, like the University of Colorado, the University of Texas and Austin — and she went to the University of Colorado in Boulder — and you know, they just kind of get sucked into this Marxist, communist ideology and she and I just don’t see eye to eye when it comes to the whole socialism, communism, Marxist philosophy,” he said.

Might want to have a paternity test done there pal. She doesn’t look much like Dear ol’ Dad in the photos here.
Yeah, and you paid for her to be like that! You should have known better.
So he paid for his daughter’s brainwashing. What a fool.
I hope he declined to pay for next year’s schooling. Oh, and pull her allowance too. In fact she needs to be all on her own from here on out.
She’s 18. The only brain washing was peers and high school. If it were my kid I’d have her shit packed and on the front lawn.
So is she 18+? Yes? You know what to do congressman.
My daughter is exactly the same way. Got her music degree and lives with 3 other Antifa types. ‘Works'(I use the word loosely) at a music store, apparently spending most of her shifts retweeting Stalinist bullshit. She’s totally written off her family and hates me with a special level of passion.
She may wake up one day, impregnated by a looser .Drop the kid off at Daddy’s house and run off with an anarchists’.
Isn’t that like encouraging other spectators to cheer for your daughters opponent in say, a tennis match?
My parents were centrist Democrats and I went to UC Berkeley for 4 years. We had the only Socialist in Congress at the time. I wasn’t indoctrinated, in fact seeing things firsthand strengthened my conservative views.
I feel bad for dad – she LOOKS like a 5-Alarm, Cracka’s-Be-Protestin’ dipshit, alright.
Got that smug, libtard, know-NOTHING, smirk. 🙄
She has a particularly slappable face.
Look at both photos. Now tell me, which one looks like you could stand to be in the same room with them without a handy-dandy clothespin?
So Daddykins rearing a shit daughter qualifies him to legislate and Represent others?!
The only public service he’s fit for, was to warn the public that his daughter is a POS. (thank you for completing that service)
@LCD – same exact here, but in my case at CCNY, one of the most leftist if NOT THEE most leftist school in the States(at the time) Pure ‘working class’ socialist types…and that was in the Dinkins/Rudy years.
The man doesn’t know how to raise a family and instill the basics of common sense.
Dude. You are disqualified as a candidate.
You stood by and let this happen?
What a wimp. Typical Republican.
I bet the upcoming holidays will be a little uncomfortable.
Well, for all the judgmental types suggesting he’s unqualified because his daughter is a scrunt, I wonder how many of you have raised a strong willed daughter? It ain’t easy. Mine went down that road for a while but came back strong in her late 20’s. Even the best parent in the world can have a child go a different direction.

Exactly. Although not political, my oldest son is still a pain in my ass. If I say turn left he’s turning right. Just because. Further more if the guys running as a Republican you better damn well vote for him. Especially this time around.
Who’s who in those pics?
“She’s” got a guy’s chin and “His” face shines like he got it waxed at the salon.
I must take exception with the comments blaming the dad. My daughter was raised right and entered college with a good head on her shoulders. I never in a million years would have guessed peer pressure and the influence of Marxist professors would have turned her against everything she knows to be true.
You give them the foundation, but 4 years of indoctrination can undo all the parents’ efforts, so cut the guy some slack.
@David. Upcoming holidays?
Surely you are not referring to Independence Day. Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Eat a Fiddler, Ramadan, durkadurkadurka day… savages holidays.
I would steer clear.

Sorry, John Lee Pettimore. That’s sad to hear. Maybe she’ll come around soon. If she managed to get herself in it, hopefully she can manage to find herself out of it, too.
My Kids know, If they become leftist fucks, then they obviously do not need my money, which was bled for with fucked knees and other body parts in a country with a 54% tax rate!
I can easily switch from old Subaru, saving money and investing for me and them to Porshe 911 turbo for me and Mercedes for my wife.
My daughter is working through the plandemic as a lifeguard between university (like Ronald Reagan) and my son is helping me on roofs with HVAC & cutting lawns after hours. They like money, food and family, not leaches & beggars.
I think Robert Regan shows more class than his daughter.
She came off very hysterical and childish. Just like Ronald Reagan’s kids do. Remember them? Yeah, even the great Conservative had some bad ass kids.
The ballerina dude and the crabby chick always complaining… the one who has the face of a goat. What’s her name? Patti? Man, those kids were horrible.
Michael Reagan is the only happy, well adjusted one. lol.
Excellent point MJA.
I thought the same thing about Robert Regans response. He kept his cool, did not really bad mouth anyone other the college experience nowadays, and liberalism in general. His daughter is going to look back at this and kick herself in the ass for giving dear old dad a 20 point bump in the polls.
joe6pak- That’s how you spank the little brat’s booty. Give her daddy a win. lol.
Practically everyone I know whose daughter went to the University of Colorado ended up with a Liberal Dementiacrat for a daughter, no matter how conservative the parents were. Same for lots of other kids attending universities where the Federal Government became the big money source.
I’d vote for this man, because I think he really gets what’s happening to our country after this bit of familia education.

Did you go to Cal before they named the steps at Sproul after the violent, brutal thug Mario?
Did “TightWad Hill” exist still?
I apologize for my judgementalism. Never sent a kid off to kollege of knowledge.
I went, though, and challenged professors all day, every day.
I thought that was what college was for. To make an argument questioning conventional wisdom.
It started with my questions about carbon dating.
Really? 2 and a half million years ago.
During the Pleistocene era or some.
How do you know carbon dating is accurate?
Doesn’t matter. Write down a date and the proper epoch and regurgitate it on paper. Get an’A’.
Lost interest quickly.
I recognized kollege was a fraud decades ago.
What a waste of money.

If I lived in his district, I’d vot for him. Look at his list of issues. Yeah, I’d vote for him for sure.
Same thing happened to our oldest grandson. Being raised in a conservative household in the midwest was no match for the secondary education system in California. He now tells his grandmother (I have no wish to even speak with him) that all Trump voters are racists and that Trump needs to be dragged out of the White House and killed right there on the spot. That’s just a smattering of the indocrination that spews out of him. He’s 25 years old and I don’t see him changing.
I’m convinced that in his lifetime he will get the type of government that he longs for. He’s a mouthy SOB so he better learn to keep his yap shut if he’s unhappy with the leaders of his utopia because the Marxists won’t for one minute accept dissension. Bullets are cheap and one will be all it will take to silence him forever.
My university profs were assholes (higher learning)
I left and went to trade school.
These guys were busy teaching welding, electrical, gas & combustion control. No time to talk about which shitter you should use, but plenty of time to make sure that when you used it, it didn’t shoot up to the ceiling.
A “right-wing” pegboy? Who’d of guessed?
(Now, a “conservative” pegboy. Who wouldn’t?)

I caution the people heaping criticism on this father to take a step back and realize that there are no guarantees that children will become everything the parents hope for. There is a pesky little thing called free will and it has been around since Adam and Eve. He sounds rock solid in his principles and let’s all hope that his daughter eventually sees the light.
If I was him I would gently suggest in her presence that he was having a few changes made to his will.
Prog white women are building a reputation as the worst and most twisted, backstabbing, self-loathing, stupid ass communist pieces of shit in this country.
This one had to cut like a knife to him. It’s one thing to have ideological disagreements privately, but she stepped way out of bounds on this one. And the real shame is that she made it personal. Her tweet isn’t honest in that way, and shouldn’t be taken as a serious commentary about her dad’s qualifications. It was personal — “my dad”.
I know “kids” make big mistakes sometimes, but I’d have a hard time with this if it happened to me. She’s a stupid girl to think she can abuse (he calls it “confidence”) the reciprocal nature and requirement of familial trust. It sure didn’t mean anything to her.
He seems like a rock solid conservative. Unfortunately, a lot of conservative parents have to raising children in a culture infected by institutionalized socialism. Sadly, this guy may have compounded the situation by raised a spoiled brat – she may never change.
My son is liberal and morally conservative. He likes Trump but doesn’t care about political parties and considers himself an independent/unaffiliated.
In his 20s he admired Barry. Thank God, now in his early 30s he finally understands the left are worthless. For some, maturity changes a person’s perspective for the better.
