Love or hate his policies (and yes, there was a whole lot to hate), Ronald Reagan was at least known for sunny optimism. He might have vilified unions, minorities and poor people, but damn, he was nice about it. His son Michael, though, who is best known as a nutty right-wing former radio host, learned none of his dad’s niceness. Instead, he defends sexual harassment by — you guessed it — blaming the victims.

After his presumed buddy Bill O’Reilly was ousted for losing too many sponsors after several women came forward alleging sexual harassment by the bombastic host, Reagan tweeted this:

If women are going to wear low cut dresses that show cleavage don't be harassed when we men look.Or shld we sue for sexual arousal?

— Michael Reagan (@ReaganWorld) April 21, 2017

Let’s forget for a moment that we are talking about Fox News, the network where being leggy and blonde is far more important for women than any sort of journalistic credibility. Fox News is literally porn for the geriatric set. The sprinkling of self-affirming bigotry is simply icing on the cupcake.

Naturally, Twitter didn’t let Reagan get away with the tweet — including by noting the conservative faux concern for the treatment of women in the Middle East:

@ReaganWorld How a person is dressed has nothing to do with how you comport yourself. You're supposed to be a grown man. You sound like the taliban.

Or, well, just the grossness of it all:

@emesola @ReaganWorld truly, this is the face of a man who really wants to tell you about his boner

@ReaganWorld Can you not walk past a woman without sexual arousal? What is wrong with you?

— Mike P Williams (@Mike_P_Williams) April 21, 2017

@rktreadwell @ReaganWorld This makes little sense but exposes you as a danger to women. That's a real problem.

— Mike P Williams (@Mike_P_Williams) April 21, 2017

@ReaganWorld You sound like a 12 year old boy who just hit puberty tweeting his thoughts before he had "the talk" with his dad.

@ReaganWorld Hey asshole, when you were sexually abused at 7 did you ask for it with your cute little boy body? Should your abuser sue you for arousal?

— Kathy Valentine (@Kathy_Valentine) April 21, 2017

@ReaganWorld If you are so disempowered by your penis that it controls your behaviour, I'd be happy to help you out with that mate ✂️✂️✂️

Or the just plain hypocrisy:

@ReaganWorld im SO GLAD to know that as a woman I'm responsible for someone elses actions. Or are republicans still the party of personal responsibility?

— Magdalene Visaggio (@MagsVisaggs) April 21, 2017

@ReaganWorld Remember when women couldn't be trusted in power positions because their hormones? Sounds like you have the same issue w/men?

— Brave Sir (@arsey) April 21, 2017

And back to the real problem with Bill O’Reilly (no, it wasn’t his “noticing” women):

@basketballSZN @ReaganWorld Notice all you want. Going "nice tits" is rude as fuck.

— Magdalene Visaggio (@MagsVisaggs) April 21, 2017

@ReaganWorld This one time, I saw a hot girl and thought "woah she looks good" and did NOT act like she owed me sex. It wasn't difficult. Try it.

— Mindthet Exthpert (@RubinOfAkkad) April 21, 2017

@ReaganWorld Yes, if an old man that has authority over a young lady & her career is getting off on her, that's pretty sick, especially if unwanted.
