Josh Duggar is an admitted child molester and unfaithful husband. These facts would be appalling enough on their own. But what has made Duggar’s actions especially reprehensible is that he spent years as a spokesperson for the Family Research Council, an organization that lobbies against LGBT rights and for “traditional family values.” Due to the reality stat’s decidedly un traditional sexual abuse of his own sisters at the age of 14,  Duggar resigned from the Family Research Council in May. And now the President of the FRC has spoken out harshly against Duggar in light of Josh’s confession that he cheated on his wife and is addicted to pornography. “We are grieved by Josh’s conduct and the devastating impact of his pornography addiction and marital unfaithfulness,” Tony Perkins said via statement. “Our hearts hurt for his family, and all those affected by Josh’s actions. His deceitful behavior harms his family, his friends, his former coworkers, and the cause he has publicly espoused. “Those of us who advocate for family values in the public square are held to a higher standard, and Josh’s failures serve as a painful reminder of the destructive effects of not living with integrity. “We are praying for the family.” On Wednesday, hackers released information on every client within the database of Ashley Madison, a website that caters to those seeking to have an affair. After an account in Josh Duggar’s name came to light (one in which Duggar requests the naked company of a mate into “Experimenting with Sex Toys)”, the 26-year old came out and pleaded guilty to infidelity. His wife, who gave birth to the couple’s fourth child in May, is yet to speak publicly on the matter.
