Jim Bob Duggar slammed for saying he’s ‘pro-family’ in Senate race after defending son Josh in child pornography trial
A CAMPAIGN flyer for Jim Bob Duggar is being ridiculed online for claims that the Counting On star is "pro-family" - just as his son's child pornography trial gets underway.
Jury selection for Josh Duggar's trial began on Tuesday, while his father is in the middle of a heated contest for an Arkansas Senate seat.
While sharing a picture of the campaign note, the original poster wrote: I don’t know whether to throw up or not.
In the comments section, others backed him up, with arguments like: "Pro-family as long as you're not his daughter!" and "Pro-freedom as long as you’re not a woman."
One commenter lashed out at Jim-Bob: "The pig is not pro-family. He is pro-let your son molest your daughters and do nothing about it. He needs to spend some time behind bars."
Another recommended returning the flyer to its sender: "Mail it back to the TTH or his campaign headquarters with a note stating you are pro-prosecuting pedophiles and anti-protecting child molesters."
Still another speculated about the timing, and real reason behind Jim Bob's office run: "Why did it take seeing 'Paid for by Jim Bob for Arkansas State Senate' for me to realize the entire point of this Senate run is to launder money for the trial? Grifters gonna grift.
And one person just wanted it all over: "This clown had better lose!"
JOSH'S TRIAL
Josh Duggar's child pornographt trial is now officially underway.
The former reality TV star on “19 Kids and Counting” was charged earlier this year with two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography and arrived at court with his wife, Anna Duggar, on Tuesday.
Josh, 33, has pleaded not guilty.
He was accused of possessing sick images of child pornography that were "the worst of the worst" that authorities had ever seen.
In 2015, Jim Bob had told police that Josh, 33, had confessed to touching underage girls, including Jill and his sister Jessa, in the family home between 2002 and 2003.
He wrote: “Like so many other families, we too have faced crises, difficulties, and heartbreak.”
