Josh Duggar is slowing becoming persona non grata among the political right.
The "19 Kids and Counting" star, a former welcome member in Republican circles, has fallen from grace following last week's revelation that he had been accused of sexually molesting multiple underage girls, including some of his sisters.
In addition to his participation in the TLC program, Duggar held a position with the Family Research Council — a position he resigned from last week, after the scandal broke. Duggar had served as executive director of FRC Action, the Council's legislative affiliate.
As such, he had ample opportunity to rub elbows with GOP bigwigs – a Tumblr account devoted to the topic is filled with pictures of Duggar posing with high-profile Republican figures including Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Rick Perry, Jeb Bush and RNC chairman Reince Priebus.
But this week, conservative figures have begun to offer Duggar harsh words instead of handshakes.
On Wednesday, conservative CNN commentator Ben Ferguson delivered a harsh rebuke of Duggar and his family. He also had choice words for former Arkansas governor and current Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, one of the few conservative figures to actually publicly support Duggar since the scandal broke.
