(6,336 posts)She's one of the 19 kids. (I watch this as a guilty pleasure--- of the 19 kids she and her oldest brother are my least favorite). Normally we could dismiss this as crazy shit reality stars say, but her family is VERY political. Her dad was a state representative and unsuccessfully ran for US Senate (before he became famous for how often he knocks up his wife). Her oldest brother works for the Family Research Council and they have many political connections. Another brother of hers is a county level elected official.
They're GOP royalty (in socially conservative circles) and it's a matter of time before one of them runs for state or federal office. They have the money and name ID for a successful political run. The family just spoke at the Values Voters summit.
