It looks as though the Seewald family might be behind all of Jessa Duggar's controversial statements lately. Duggar's future father-in-law Michael Seewald, is defending the 19 Kids & Counting star's recent controversial blog post about the Holocaust, calling her critics "Hitler's doppelgangers."

Why Was Jessa Duggar Hanging Out at Goodwill?

In her Instagram post, Duggar compared abortion to the holocaust, upsetting many of her fans. Now, the elder Seewald is defending her, blasting those that are criticizing her for her views.

According to E! Online on Thursday, he said, "The Holocaust was the deliberate extermination of a certain class of people. Those in power deemed some people to be subhuman and unwanted in society and so they gathered them up and killed them. Abortion also is the extermination of a certain class of people deemed unworthy to live. The powers that be have legalized murder just as they did during the Holocaust. Any woman who chooses to may go to an abortion clinic and have her preborn baby violently killed."

What's more, Seewald even makes a reference to Hitler while praising his future daughter-in-law by saying, "Bravo, Jessa, for daring to speak out against one of the great evils of our time even if it means that Hitler's doppelgangers are enraged. Maybe this is why Rush Limbaugh calls radical feminists 'Femi-Nazis.'"

A representative for the Duggar family has so far not made any comments. Duggar and her fiancé Ben Seewald are expected to tie the knot next month.
