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.

Imagine growing up and remembering the one time Uncle Derrick took pictures with you and then took your family out to a nice dinner.
And then you realize they were just using your likeness to push restrictions of reproductive rights.
And then Uncle Derrick hand picks you for the Homeland Breeding Program because of your exam you took last week, and you are surprisingly fertile.
Under His Eye.
