Anna Duggar Under Fire! Star Accused of Ignorance, Hate After Black History Month Tweet
Josh Duggar is usually the family member sparking controversy on social media with anti-LGBT and pro-life messages. But now his wife Anna is the one in hot water.
The 19 Kids And Counting star, 26, expecting her fourth child, infuriated fans when she retweeted a message from the Radiance Foundation, a conservative non-profit that fights to end abortion.
"Because of the violence of abortion, over 16 million black people are history," the graphic states. The tweet is capped off with hashtags #BlackHistoryMonth and #BlackLivesMatter.
