Jessa Duggar’s husband Ben slammed for telling fans to ‘examine themselves’ before ‘pointing fingers’ in Capitol riots
JESSA Duggar's husband was slammed for urging people to "examine ourselves" before "pointing fingers" after the Capitol Hill riots.
On Thursday, Ben Seewald took to Twitter to share his thoughts after a mob of supporters stormed the seat of the government, forcing politicians to barricade themselves inside.
"The hard thing to do is to examine OURSELVES. To pray. To weep. To intercede before God for this nation and the people in it."
"Preaching this to myself too. God help me. God help us," husband said.
But his comments didn't go down well with some users, who clapped back at his comments.
"Your silence makes you part of the problem."
When one follower asked why he couldn't "see there is something wrong with this man, who is your 'President?'" Ben's response was telling.
"Violence is not how we solve our problems! As Americans, one thing we should all agree on is the peaceful transition of power. Anything less is un-American. ."
Jesse recently insisted her rebellious sister and her husband Derick were, in fact, invited to the family party, despite what some fans think.
The 28-year-old reality star said the couple “chose” not to attend the large Duggar event: “Nobody is ostracized," Jessa replied to one fan who commented on a video of her family celebrating.
"Exactly what I thought," agreed another follower. "They only do photoshoots when their announcing something."
However, another person leapt to Jessa's defense and decried the pregnancy speculation.

"Jessa replied to a fan a couple months ago saying she was indeed not pregnant, and her other caption says they have not had professional photos taken in a few years.
"Pro-tip: if it's not your uterus, it's none of your business. Just because she's famous doesn't mean we get to assume she's pregnant again."
