Conservatives boo one of their own for calling out their hypocrisy on sexual harassment charges against Trump

The Hill reporter Josh Delk wrote that conservative political analyst Mona Charen was booed at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last weekend in Washington for calling out President Trump over his multiple sexual harassment allegations -- and for calling conservatives as a group hypocrits for giving him a pass, when similar charges have resulted in public denunciations and loss of jobs for dozens of men in media and entertainment, as well as politicians and businessmen.

Charen, on a panel at CPAC, said:  "I am disappointed in people on our side for being hypocrites about sexual harassers and abusers of women who are in our party, who are sitting in the White House, who brag about their extramarital affairs, who brag about mistreating women.   And, because he happens to have an 'R' after his name, we look the other way."

She added:  "You cannot claim that you stand for women and put up with that," a comment that led to loud jeering from the audience.   According to reporters at the event, Charen had to be escorted out by security for her own safety after the panel concluded.
