Nebraska Democratic U-S Senate candidate Chris Janicek is facing new pressure to drop out of the race.
Two of the candidates he beat last month in the primary are joining the Nebraska Democratic Party in telling him to decline the nomination.
"This is serious and it's time to call people out and we need to that this behavior is not tolerated especially from somebody who wants to represent us,” Angie Phillips tells 6 News.
Phillips and the other unsuccessful democrat senatorial candidate Alisha Shelton joined together saying the man who defeated them doesn't deserve to be the candidate.
Janicek's involvement in an unsavory message exchange suggesting a female staff member has sex with multiple partners resulted in the call for him to step aside.
"I don't know how you would joke about doing horrible sexual things to someone and potentially all at once? It was very disappointing, it was very disgusting,” Shelton told 6 News.
Janicek says he has apologized to the woman who was the target of his comment. He admits he used poor judgment and says he wants to learn from his mistake.
Phillips is calling for a boycott of Janicek's cake baking business and possibly protesting. Janicek tells 6 News customers he's spoken with since the incident happened accept his apology and want him to stay in the race.
