Early life

Their cousins' pair of children were both shot, so they used their social media presence to raise money for their medical expenses.[18]

Views
They are Donald Trump supporters,[31] and appeared on Trump's Real News Update webcast.[32] The twins mocked the decision of the NFL's plan to play a "black national anthem".[33], and were critical of the judge's decision to seal the Jussie Smollett alleged assault case.[34] They claimed Colin Kaepernick pressuring of Nike, Inc. to withdraw Air Max 1 shoes was a marketing stunt.[35]
An image of the twins saying that "Black Lives Matter is a leftist lie" was shared by a Pennsylvania school principal on Facebook, triggering an investigation.[36][37]
They've conflicted with Snoop Dogg on Instagram.[38][39][40]
