Why Jana Duggar's Latest Instagram Post Caused So Much Controversy

The Duggars make no secret of their conservative beliefs. CheatSheet noted that family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar is a Republican and served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for three years beginning in 1999. His son, Jedidiah, announced he was running for Arkansas State Representative in 2019. Not surprisingly, Jedidiah is also quite conservative. "I will unequivocally advocate for conservative values. I am a Christian and I will stand up for religious liberty, I am pro-life and I will be an advocate for the unborn, and I will always defend our Second Amendment," he said on Instagram. "With your support, I will be a strong, conservative voice in Little Rock for District 89."

In spite of the Duggar family's well-known conservative values, people were still dismayed to see the family so openly supporting Donald Trump. "A family that speaks of Christian values and love supports a man that spreads so much hate," commented one person on Jana's Instagram post (via CheatSheet). "Disappointing."

Another wrote, "I like you a lot Jana and I think you're really smart but that man doesn't have an ounce of goodness in his heart. Can't believe I'm disappointed right now over things I already knew."
