Michelle Duggar Campaigned Against Transgender People — Called Them ‘Child Predators’

So shocking. A record shows that Michelle called transgender people ‘child predators’ as she fought to destroy a bill that would allow transgenders to choose the bathroom they wanted to use — all while knowing her son Josh had allegedly molested five girls when he was a teen.
The Duggar family continues to tread in deep water. Amid Josh Duggar’s child molestation scandal, a record from 2012 shows Michelle Duggar claiming transgender people have “past child predator convictions,” which is ironic because years later, Josh was accused of molesting children. Fans are outraged by the Duggar matriarch’s statement, calling her a hypocrite. See the shocking transcript here!
