A female candidate for attorney general in Michigan is using the nationwide reckoning regarding sexual harassment in a campaign ad out Thursday.

“Who can you trust most not to show you their penis in a professional setting?” Democrat Dana Nessel, a former civil rights attorney, poses to constituents in her new web ad.

“Is it the candidate who doesn’t have a penis? I’d say so,” she says.



The video has now gone viral and mentions the details of recent sexual harassment cases in the news lately such as former CBS News anchor Charlie Rose.

Ms. Nessel promises not to “sexually harass” her staff or “walk around in a half-open bathrobe.”

She is running against Republican state House speaker Tom Leonard.
