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.

Many people do, but not everyone. Religious people especially tend not to cohabitate before marriage, as that would be considered a sin.
Imagine getting married and discovering they’re the worst roommate ever.
Not to worry, the wife will do all the cooking cleaning and housekeeping, as God intended. And if she doesn’t like it, too bad, the Bible says wives are to submit to the will of their husbands, so she’ll suck it up and do as she’s told.
That’s what they actually believe, don’t hate me. I grew up having this BS crammed down my throat, and even as a kid I thought it was ridiculous
