Video Shows Young Bill Schuette Making Sexual Comments to Female Reporter
“Some things I may not let you run the camera on”
MICHIGAN — Progress Michigan is calling attention to a video clip released by American Bridge that reportedly shows a young Bill Schuette making creepy sexual comments to a female reporter.
In the video, Schuette says to a female reporter: “I would be happy to move closer to the lamp. I will do anything you want. Some things I may not let you run the camera on.”
The following statement can be attributed to Progress Michigan Executive Director Lonnie Scott:
“I guess now we know why Schuette has embraced endorsements from admitted sexual predators Donald Trump and Ted Nugent. This video and Schuette’s behavior are downright creepy and show completely inappropriate behavior regardless of when the footage was taken. Unfortunately, objectifying women seems all too is common in the Republican Party and it’s disgusting. The people of Michigan, especially the women, deserve better.”
