Republicans often clamor about "family values" to hide the fact that their party is the one that is anti-family in so many different ways. Either by advocating for policies that harm families or hypocritically doing the things they claim to be against. A pretty good rule of thumb is that the more a group of conservatives clamor about "family values," the less as a whole they actually support them.

We have documented some notable scandals of Republicans eschewing so called "family" values including infidelity, using dangerous illegal drugs, domestic abuse, sexual assault and anti-LGBT hypocrisy.
