It looks like a family holiday card except that the woman and children posing with Republican Derrick Anderson are not his wife or his offspring.
Anderson, who running in a close race for Virginia’s seventh congressional district, was seen in another image seated around the dining table with the same woman and three girls.
The images came to light in an article by The New York Times, headlined “G.O.P. Candidates, Looking to Soften Their Image, Turn to Their Wives,” which reported how “male Republicans struggling to appeal to female voters concerned about their records on reproductive rights are unleashing their spouses to make the pitch on their behalf.”
However Anderson, who is childless, engaged to be married and lives alone with his dog, sought to borrow the wife and children from a longtime friend in an apparent effort to appear as a family man.

Yeah seems legit, “party of family values” - let’s rent some women for your photoshoot. I wonder if they consulted Mike Pence’s binders to find them.
Yep. Pence is the one with lady blinders, like a horse, to protect him from seeing things that might scare and confuse him.
Pence isn’t allowed to be around women that are not his wife in a private setting.
It’s just another lying weirdo. How does the GOP find so many of them?
This gives off a strong “I have black friends.” vibe.
So all of the GOP - male and female - are weird. Got it.
engaged to be married
Gonna be weird when the ‘spouse’ changes in the photos.
Any bets on why the fiancé was not in photo?
