When asked to expand on his comments about VP Harris during an interview with KTUL Channel 8, Senator Dahm doubled down on his sexual fantasies misogynistic and derogatory comments about her and said he was referencing her “vast experience and how she got into politics.”
“In talking with some people, one thing that could be said is that, you know, you can’t use a paper straw for a milkshake, but maybe Kamala Harris could because of her vast experience,” said Dahm.

He said there was “some jocularity” in the press release and in the bill itself and said he realizes that not everyone will appreciate the jokes.In response to feedback, Dahm didn’t back down, writing on Twitter that he wasn’t going to be “politically correct” despite public expectation.
