Will the hit tv program 'Duck Dynesty' be with drawing their political ad saying that their state Republican representative Mack Mcallister represents their Christian values as it is now bad for business / accept his apology? (C&E)

Is Mcallister safe as he is home with his family?

Did mcallister commit a sin, adultery?

The heads of the Republican party says they are trying to get Mcallister to be put out of his office in D.C. just as he is seeking a new term there...Duck Dynesty is asking him to settle this matter in 'private'...go on with your bad selves as a perfect problem solver!!! (C&E)...I doubt if he has as many and for as long the $millions as the DD family has to just make publiic images problems go away this easy!!!!
