A female Democratic candidate for attorney general in Michigan in a new ad says voters should pick the candidate “who doesn’t have a penis” amid a stream of sexual harassment claims in the workplace.
In a new campaign video, Dana Nessel argued more women must serve in public office in light of the recent shift in conversation about sexual misconduct.
“So when you’re choosing Michigan’s next attorney general, ask yourself this: ‘Who can you trust most not to show you their penis in a professional setting?’ ” Nessel asks. “Is it the candidate who doesn’t have a penis? I’d say so.”
Her video comes as powerful men in industries ranging from politics to Hollywood have been accused of varying degrees of sexual misconduct.Nessel, a candidate in next year’s Democrat primary, is a former prosecutor who started a law firm of her own in 2005, according to her campaign website.
