Dana Nessel Asks: Don't You Long For Days When Most Upsetting Thing Was Candidate Talking About Not Showing Penis?

Attorney General Dana Nessel

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel weighed in Sunday on President Donald Trump's tweets aimed at U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib and three other outspoken women in the U.S. House.

"Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....," Trump posted.

Nessel responded with two tweets:

Don’t you long for the days when the most upsetting thing you read about was a candidate for state AG talking about the importance of not showing people their penis in the workplace?

In 2018, Nessel created controversy with a campaign ad in which she said: "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? Is it the candidate who doesn’t have a penis? I’d say so.”
