Rise to fame
The Conservative Twins primarily gained prominence by creating content on social media platforms. Their fitness tips, workout routines, and comedic skits helped them establish a strong fan base.
However, their fame has not come without a series of controversies. They have shared content supporting President Donald Trump, criticising Black Lives Matter, and opposing LGBTQ+ issues, which has negatively affected their fanbase.
For instance, a 2016 MAGA hat video alone cost them over 20,000 followers overnight, with accusations of racism and betrayal from fans. Additionally, a 2022 Springer Opera House cancellation stemmed from leaked emails citing their transgender mockery. They have also been in a back-and-forth online feud with popular rapper Cardi B after challenging her political opinion.
