A Republican congressional candidate from Minnesota is in hot water after it was revealed on Friday that he has published a string of offensive blog posts online, including one that identified certain female senators as “”undeserving bimbos in tennis shoes.”

On a blog titled “Mr. Conservative,” the candidate, Jim Hagedorn, also derided American Indians, mocked the LGBTQ community, insulted President Obama, and wrote of his general disdain for female Supreme Court justices, according to the Minnesota politics blog Bluestem Prairie.

Last Tuesday, Hagedorn won the GOP primary race, and will move on to face off against Democratic incumbent Tim Walz. The Republican nominee is the son of retired congressman Tom Hagedorn.

According to Mother Jones, many of Hagedorn’s ramblings were written during his stint as a Treasury Department official.
