Josh was "just curious about girls." No big deal. Nothing to see here. Not rape or anything like that. Lots of Ma and Pa Duggar's friends tell 'em the same thing goes on in their god-fearin', homeschoolin', kid-diddlin' families. The Duggars' critics have an agenda, unlike the Duggars. Parents aren't mandatory reporters anyway. And Josh has been forgiven, and he's very, very sorry and—hey, look over there! Some trans people have to pee! And the real criminal is the person who leaked the information.
Take it away, Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian...
It's so disgusting that pandering @megynkelly in #DuggarInterview asks facilitators of child molesting: “Aren't you furious you were outed?”

The big question about PR stunt #duggarinterview - Where was admitted child molester Josh? He wasn't hiding when talking about gay marriage!

Dear @megynkelly I am praying for you. Your pandering to #TheDuggars who are avaricious, charlatan, pedo-enabling grifters made Jesus weep.

A big part of the interview was giving the Duggars a chance to portray themselves as victims of a meanie anti-Christian media, with Michelle Duggar claiming that critics have "an agenda" and Kelly asking if their "Christian beliefs" were the reason people were hating on them. So much for Megyn Kelly's reputation for being a tough interviewer.
The Duggars have made a career out of being sanctimonious religious fanatics who obsessively police consensual sex to the point of treating even contraception like it's a perversion. Of course, the perverts among us—who are, by the Duggars' measure, roughly 99.99 percent of us—are going to find it very interesting that these supposedly hyper-wholesome people shielded a child molester and then offered him up on reality TV and as a moral leader in his role at the Family Research Council. But no, they're the victims here.
