Reality star Michelle Duggar is being called a hypocrite after it was revealed that the 47-year-old spoke out against a bill that allows transgender people in Fayetteville, Arkansas to use whatever bathroom they felt comfortable in.
According to Mail Online, last year the "19 Kids and Counting" matriarch compared likened trans people to child molesters in her statement against the anti-discrimination ordinance. The reality mom's statement comes 12 years after her son Josh admitted to sexually molesting five underage girls, including some sisters, at the age of 14.
Duggar narrated a robocall where she expressed her concern that transgendered men would victimize both women and girls. She asserted that the proposed ordinance would affect the peace and safety of women and children.
A part of the statement reads (via Radar Online)
I don't believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls.
I doubt that Fayetteville parents would stand for a law that would endanger their daughters or allow them to be traumatized by a man joining them in their private space.
She commented that the community should not place the preference of an adult over the safety and innocence of a child. Duggar called on parents to speak up for women and children protection.
Duggar came under fire over Social Media. One netizen (@ruby_lilia) wrote over Twitter, "Interesting that Michelle Duggar called transgender people child predators when her child is the real predator".
Another Twitter member (@whitegumballs) aired her own sentiments tweeting, "Michelle Duggar demonizing LGBTQ ppl while her son is the real predator is 1 reason I am LIVID upon hearing this."
Josh Duggar News
News of Josh's molestations scandal spread like wildfire online on Thursday after InTouch Magazine released the contents of a 2006 police report that reveals Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar admitted that their eldest child, Josh, confessed way back in 2002 that he had molested at least one young girl in their home.
The conservative Christian parents reportedly stayed mum about the issue and disciplined Josh themselves through a "Christian program."
Josh Duggar, 27, has since issued a public apology and TLC has pulled all airings of "19 Kids and Counting."
