Jim Bob Duggar running for Arkansas Senate.

The GOP sure has a lot of Pedophiles and their sympathizers.

He made the reveal on the Duggar family’s official Facebook page. Jim Bob previously served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for four years (1999-2002), a run that came six years before starring on the TLC hit from 2008-2015.

“I am honored to announce my candidacy for Arkansas State Senate District 7. Northwest Arkansas is my lifelong home. It’s where my wife, Michelle, and I have raised our 20 children,” the 56-year-old wrote. “It’s where we’ve grown our small businesses. It’s where we’ve built a life centered around our faith, family, and friends.”

His son is currently awaiting trial for having child porn that the FBI describes as some of the worst they have come across.

They keep their constituents focused on culture wars that way they won't care about how immoral they are.

So it seems that good old Jim Bob kept hidden all of Josh attacks on his daughters and
other young ladies and LITTLE GIRLS because the Dugger's trash reality show was making
him shit loads of money.

They were at 19 kids when their reality TV program ended.
Imagine what that woman's uterus looks like.

I read that these 'quiverful" families virtually require the oldest daughter to stay home and unmarried and take care of Mommy's babies, because Mommy's health is broken by so many pregnancies.

"As Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's oldest daughter, Jana has remained single while her younger sisters have gotten married one by one. As a single woman in her 30s, Jana still lives at home with her parents, per Jim Bob's rules. She takes care of her younger siblings, and tends to her famous vegetable garden."

Meanwhile, the oldest son is given a family free pass for molesting his sisters, cheating on his wife, and being accused of child porn.
