Garrett Yrigoyen, one of 28 cast members on Becca Kufrin\u2019s season of \u201cThe Bachelorette,\u201d appears to have a history of liking social media posts that mock trans people, undocumented immigrants, left-wing women and one Parkland high school student.<\/p>\n
And as of Monday night, he seems to be a frontrunner on the show.<\/p>\n
During the season\u2019s premiere episode, Kufrin, clad in radiant white, stood at the end of a gleaming, wet driveway and greeted her suitors. <\/p>\n
Toward the end of the night, she awarded the first impression rose to the man who most caught her fancy: Garrett, a 29-year-old square-jawed medical sales rep. \u201cSince he pulled up in that minivan, I was smitten with him,\u201d Kufrin told the camera. \u201cI\u2019m the luckiest guy in the world right now,\u201d said Yrigoyen, grinning widely. The start of a televised fairy tale indeed. <\/p>\n
In the olden days of \u201cThe Bachelorette,\u201d the lead and the audience would be equally ignorant about the seemingly charming man they\u2019d just met. But now we have Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, and while at this stage in the show Becca still doesn\u2019t have access to her bachelors\u2019 social media accounts, viewers do. <\/p>\n
Before the show even premiered, some fans had begun to dig up unsettling activity on the first-night favorite. <\/p>\n
Yrigoyen\u2019s Instagram account, made private on May 24 and then deleted, appears to have liked numerous posts from right-wing pages, including that of conservative personality Tomi Lahren and a clothing company called Merica Supply Co. These \u201clikes\u201d were first captured via screenshots and posted on an anonymous (now private) Instagram account @imwatchingyuuo on Wednesday afternoon. (Yrigoyen now appears to be back on Instagram under a different handle, according to Reality Steve.) <\/p>\n
Former \u201cBachelor\u201d contestant Ashley Spivey then posted the screenshots to Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
