Jedidiah Duggar is continuing to show support for his dad, Jim Bob. Jim Bob is currently running to fill a vacant Arkansas State Senate seat. He’s running as a conservative and is focusing on family values. However, the timing of his announcement and the election itself are not working in Jim Bob’s favor. He revealed that he was running shortly before his son Josh’s child porn trial began. Now, the election ends not even a week after Josh was convicted.

On social media, Jim Bob has not received much support. His son-in-law, Derick Dillard, has spoken out against his campaign plenty of times. His old friend, Jim Holt, even made a social media post about his dishonesty. Fans and critics are filling Jim Bob’s campaign posts with negative comments too. However, one member of the family is still standing by Jim Bob’s side.

Jedidiah Duggar shows support for Jim Bob.

In a new post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, Jedidiah urged Arkansas residents in Senate District 7 to go vote for Jim Bob. He showed his followers where they could go to vote for Jim Bob and listed the polling hours too. Finally, the Duggar son writes, “I am confident that he will serve District 7 well.”

Fans are appalled by the recent post about Jim Bob’s campaign.

In the comments section of Jedidiah’s new post, fans and critics are destroying him. They can’t believe that he is still promoting his father’s campaign after everything that’s happened, even just in the past week. Fans and critics urged Jim Bob to drop out of the race amid Josh’s trial and conviction. But nothing has made him back out yet.

In some of the comments, fans are questioning Jim Bob’s “family values” that he campaigned on. Someone calls Jed “brainwashed” and encourages him to talk to his sister, Jill Dillard, who has distanced herself from the family. Another Facebook user says, “Lol really? Read the room, dude.”

There are many more negative comments, as well as GIFs making fun of Jedidiah for posting this. Despite all of the backlash, Jedidiah is still allowing comments and hasn’t taken his post down yet.
