Childless GOP candidate borrows family for weird photo shoot
(www.thedailybeast.com)
"hello fellow kids" moment
Hello fellow families
Hahaha next level pathetic!
Yeah seems legit, "party of family values" - let's rent some women for your photoshoot. I wonder if they consulted Mike Pence's binders to find them.
Wasn't Mitt the dude with the lady binders?
Yep. Pence is the one with lady blinders, like a horse, to protect him from seeing things that might scare and confuse him.
Pence isn't allowed to be around women that are not his wife in a private setting.
It always bugged me that we never talked about the fact that Pence wouldn’t be alone with non-wife women because apparently every single woman, given time alone with Mike Pence would be unequivocally down to clown. The only question was whether Pence would allow the alone time to happen.
This weirdo calls his wife "mother".
God that's sick 🤢
It's just another lying weirdo. How does the GOP find so many of them?
They self select.
We talk about all of them on !political_weirdos@lemmy.world .
Weird that this isn't there yet.
Be the change you want to see ♥️
I'm busy
Do it anyway
Somebody else already did while I was at Costco
This gives off a strong "I have black friends." vibe.
So all of the GOP - male and female - are weird. Got it.
engaged to be married
Gonna be weird when the 'spouse' changes in the photos.
Any bets on why the fiancé was not in photo?
That's so fucking weird. And bold. Like, even if it wasn't picked up, wouldn't people in his community recognize the family? Not one person that would furrow their brow and ask who's that man with "(Insert Mom's name) and the girls?"
Childless dogman…
Are you sure this is not satirical? "The Daily Beast" sounds like something a satirical news site would call themselves.
Daily beast is a left wing american news source that can sometimes be somewhat sensationalist but is a genuine source.
I would not rely on them for high quality reporting, but they tend to be okay at getting the facts right.
Thanks. Whenever I see such an absurd news about a politician from whichever country or political party, I need some kind of fact check
It's one of the very few times I'd agree if someone labeled it left. You know, unlike CNN or NBC or any network station.
Or Reuters/AP being “center left” 🤡
Real life surpassed satire years ago.
It's real:

Derrick Anderson, who is running for an open seat in Virginia’s Seventh District, in a photo with the wife and children of a longtime friend.
It's a center left Web 2.0 / Death of Traditional Journalism outlet, but still credible on a purely factual basis i.e. basic reported facts are probably accurate.
It's brand of leftism would best be described as progressive Democrat, and their analysis and editorial choices should be understood as primarily coming from those sensibilities and culture affectations e.g. educated, middle class, and a socially/culturally left brand of neoliberalism.
