In a social media post, Counting On star Ben Seewald shared his thoughts about the recent Capitol riots. According to Ben, “With the unrest in America these days, the easy thing to do right now is to go on social media, point fingers, and self-justify.” He also added, “The hard thing to do is to examine OURSELVES. To pray. To weep. To intercede before God for this nation and the people in it.” However, some fans didn’t like his words. One fan commented, “We didn’t cause this Ben.”
Another fan also made fun of Ben’s post by commenting with a “Sit down, Felicia” meme. There are also some who told Ben that he should stop preaching love and compassion as it has nothing to do with what happened in the Capitol.
