[OMAHA] Nebraska Democrats are asking their U.S. Senate candidate to quit the race after he sent staffers text messages that the state party described as "sexually inappropriate."Omaha baker Chris Janicek sent a group message June 4 to at least five people, including a female staff member who subsequently filed a complaint with the Nebraska Democratic Party. His text said they needed to "get her laid," referring to the female staffer, who has since quit the campaign.
Janicek has apologized and said he’s staying in the race.
"This is a moment in time where I made a terrible mistake in a text message," he said.
The World-Herald obtained copies of the text messages. Janicek’s texts described lining up multiple partners for group sex with the staffer and suggested that the "three guys" could be paid."Thoughts?!money" he wrote.
Janicek said that his texts did not come out of the blue, that his messages reflected the tone of an earlier office conversation he overheard. A lawyer for the female staffer said no such conversation involving her occurred.
