Jon Huntsman’s daughters are bringing back the former Utah governor into the GOP spotlight.
On Wednesday, Liddy, Abby and Mary Anne, the striking, social media strategists behind Huntsman’s presidential run, took on the entire GOP field in a new version of Justin Timberlake’s “Sexy Back.” The remix, titled “Huntsman’s Back,” features pointed lyrics like “the rest of them are one big circus act.” The 90-second song also slices in some choice sound clips from Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Ron Paul ,and Michele Bachmann.
Of course, this isn’t altogether new territory for the threesome, whose Twitter following nearly triples that of their father. The girls previously mocked Herman Cain’s ‘smoking’ commercial, but this latest viral stint is off the charts. Within a day of posting, the video gained more than 80,000 views practically overnight on YouTube.
Huntsman’s hopeful, “future sons-in-law” have also gotten into the act with @Jon2012boys, a Twitter account devoted to supporting the girls’ support of their father. Asked about “Huntsman’s Back,” the boys told the Daily Dot, “We’re looking forward to singing it together at the inauguration.”
Huntsman is currently polling behind most of his competitors and is banking on an impressive showing in the New Hampshire primary next month.
