Lewis said he would seek a coronavirus test.
Comments Lewis made in 2012 about women and race were discussed in several articles and criticized by Democratic rival Angie Craig (D) in July 2018. On his radio show, "The Jason Lewis Show," Lewis said, "Now, are we beyond those days where a woman can behave as a slut, but you can’t call her a slut?” In another segment, Lewis said, "There's a cultural problem in the African-American community that is leading to [violence]. The entitlement mentality." Craig called the comments disappointing. "Our leaders are role models for our kids and must hold themselves to that standard," she said. The Lewis campaign released the following statement: “This has all been litigated before, and as Rep. Lewis has said time and time again, it was his job to be provocative while on the radio.”
