Jim Bob Duggar, the patriarch starring in the popular TLC reality TV show 19 Kids and Counting, endorsed former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum today at a rally in Polk City. “All the people in America that have conservative family values have to get behind Rick Santorum for President,” Duggar said, flanked by about a dozen of his children, according to Buzzfeed editor Ben Smith who’s on the ground with Santorum. “After church yesterday we hopped in the bus,” Duggar said.
