Lawson is all suited up like the others for the photo op. I'll be flabbergasted if he actually jumped.

Did he jump with a photographer and his hair products?

Certainly not. All he needed was a baby, his gun, and his law enforcement cosplay badge.

And his airpod!

He's at least got to have his phone for a selfie. If there's not a picture or video, it didn't happen.

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere or if this is the correct thread, but I know we sometimes talk about Sadie Robertson here because she was in one of lawson’s music videos. 
Anyway, Sadie has a trending YouTube video announcing her pregnancy. Normally I consider her to be more of a mainstream Christian, but the way she described being “surprised” reminded me of so many fundies we discuss on FJ. 
At least she’s really pregnant and not pulling a Carlin.

I know it’s just the lighting and photo angle, but it totally looks as if Lawson wears lipliner in his recent Insta post (the one in which he showed off his “i voted” sticker).
The thought just made me laugh that such a smug, (presumably) Trump endorsing, and Rep voting little patriarch looks like he got into makeup and decided to enlarge his lower lip.

Lawson has been very busy on Twitter posting about the election and "fraud" and other right wing talking points.

Finding facts was definitely not taught at Kelly's dinning room table school! @rexasaurus_nirb

He's such a little twit.

[TuringMachine]

He's calling AOC a fascist for wanting to save tweets from people who support trump to hold the accountable. 

Classic trumper. Has no idea what fascism means, and is deeply terrified of being reminded of his own words.

Lawson was retweeting every conspiracy theory in the right wing book this morning after Biden was declared President-elect. It was pathetic, but I expect nothing less from him. 

[candygirl200413]

my personal fav was him talking about biden supporting a KKK member but dude's family literally has a KKK leader as a shrine in their house?!

[artdecades]

He’s deleting tweets too. He deleted one where he said Biden wasn’t a Christian (unclear if he meant because Biden is catholic, a liberal, or both). He was dragged for that. 

I am surprised he hasn’t deleted the KKK tweet. Like your brother is literally named for a KKK leader.

Which brother is that?

Nathan, for Nathan Bedford Forrest. So is Forrest Gump, though his mother named him that as a reminder that "sometimes we all do things that, well, just don't make no sense." 

I have a feeling Kelly had Forrest's massacre of 300 surrendered Black soldiers and how he was the first Grand Wizard of the KKK in mind more than that reasoning, however.

Thank you for telling me. Nathan is such a normal name I wouldn't have guessed it. Millions of Nathans with no connection to Forrest.

Definitely likely that he was named after Forrest, but his full name is Kenneth Nathaniel, Kenneth after Kelly's dad and maybe Nathaniel because t went well and they just call him Nathan, but likely the first one.

Doesn't Kelly have to (adopted) black sisters? It must be so disturbing for them to be interact with her.

She does, but they got adopted once Kelly was already an adult, so its not like they grew up together. They barelly have a relationship. 

To be fair, i dont really think Nathan is named after Forrest. If that was the case they would have named him Nathan and not Nathaniel. And Nathaniel is a popular name among fundies, because it is biblical, it is a bit of a stretch to make that connection.

[artdecades]

For some reason I thought they had officially said Nathan was named after him. Maybe around the time that they had the portraits. My mistake if I am wrong. There is enough real crap to attack them for we don’t need to rely on rumors.

Although I can't point to a source, my belief was also that this was a confirmed fact.

I mean i wouldnt be surprised if it was true, but without proof seems more like a rumour that probably started because they had a painting of Forest in the house.

I'll dig around and see if I can find anything concrete. I could have sworn it was factual but then again, who knows.

I'm interested in what you find. I thought he and Jackson were named after Confederates generals.
