The Hodgetwins, (born September 17, 1975),[5][6] also known as the Conservative Twins, are an American stand-up comedy and
conservative political commentary duo consisting of twin brothers Keith and Kevin Hodge. The twins started out as YouTubers, but in 2016 branched out to live stand-up comedy shows as well.[7][8][9]
They were at
VidCon 2016, and The Root named them as the third best black creators at the event.[10]
Biography
They enlisted in the
Marine Corps and by 2013 they had over half a million subscribers on
YouTube.[11]
Their cousins' pair of children were both shot, so they used their social media presence to raise money for their medical expenses.[12]
Both have been married to their current wives for over 15 years, and lived in
Los Angeles for 17 years.[13] They currently reside in Las Vegas.
The Hodge twins are vocal conservatives, and have over two million subscribers on their Conservative Twins YouTube channel.
The Hodge twins are
Donald Trump supporters, and appeared on Trump's Real News Update webcast.[21] The twins oppose the
Black Lives Matter political and social movement.[22]
Two of the most shared Facebook posts about the
George Floyd protests originated from the Hodge twins.[23] They are frequent guests on conservative comedian
Steven Crowder's various programs.[23]
Controversy
Claims the twins have made about
Joe Biden and Black Lives Matter have been deemed as false by
fact-checkers.[24][25]
They have had a venue cancel one of their shows after the Hodgetwins posted a video to their
YouTube account making fun of a
transgender woman. The venue owner stated that the reason for the cancellation was because "[they] don't tolerate
transphobia."[26]
