Hodgetwins (born September 17, 1974)[4][5] also known as the Conservative Twins, are an American bodybuilding and comedy YouTube duo consisting of twins Kevin Hodge and Keith Hodge.[6][7][8] They allege all donations to Black Lives Matter go to political parties.[9][10][11][12][13][14]

They were at VidCon 2016, and The Root named them as the 3rd best black creators at the event.[15]

Early life

They initially enlisted in the Marine Corps, by 2013 they had over half a million subscribers on YouTube.[16] They were fired from their job after filming videos in their workplace.[17]

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

Comedy

They've toured the UK,[26][27] and Australia.[28] Their No Filter tour took place in 2016.[29] They are estimated to make around $50,000 a year in 2018 from YouTube.[30]

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]

Other work
