Sarah Palin Slams Media Coverage on the Duggars, Calls Lena Dunham a ‘Pedophile’
Former Alaska Governor and the Vice President nominee during the 2008 Presidential election, Sarah Palin, has spoken out against the media, calling them "disgusting hypocrites."
In Palin's Facebook post, she defends the Duggar family, who is currently involved in a huge scandal after In Touch published a police report revealing that eldest son Josh Duggar had inappropriately groped minor girls when he was a teenager. Some of the minors were his own sisters.
Instead of focusing on the Duggar case, Palin called out "Girls" actress Lena Dunham, who revealed in her book, "Not That Kind of Girl," that she, at the age of seven, had touched her younger sister's genital area.
"One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me. Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn't resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked," Dunham wrote.
Palin wrote, in all caps lock, "HEY LENA, WHY NOT LAUGH OFF EVERYONE'S SEXUAL 'EXPERIMENTS' AS YOU HAUGHTILY ENJOY REWARDS FOR YOUR OWN PERVERSION? YOU PEDOPHILE, YOU."
She continued, "I'm not defending the Duggar boy's obvious wrongdoing over a decade ago. The main victim in any story like this isn't the perpetrator, it's the innocent ones so harmfully affected. I'm not an apologist for any sexual predator, but I'm sickened that the media gives their chosen ones a pass for any behavior as long as they share their leftwing politics. Case in point, they suggest Lena Dunham's sexual assault on her sibling is cute, and she's rewarded for it with fame and fortune. Meanwhile, they crucify another, along with an entire family."
The Duggar family has shared their side of the story with FOX News' Megyn Kelly. Since the scandal, TLC has temporarily suspended "19 Kids and Counting."
