Conservatives slam CNN's 'mean girl' Carol Costello for laughing at Bristol Palin's possible assault

Holy double-standard, Batman! Check out CNN’s Carol Costello, who you might remember as a staunch defender of battered women who went after Fox News for what she thought was an insensitive quip about Ray Rice’s wife, now laughing at newly surfaced audio that suggests Bristol Palin was assaulted by a man at a brawl in Anchorage, Alaska last month. You really have to see the video to believe it, via The Right Scoop.

And here’s the reaction:

CNN "Mean Girl" Costello makes fun of Bristol Palin being assaulted by a man: http://t.co/d3UW8CIyZr

@CarolCNN @CNNPolitics Glad you think a girl being assaulted by a man is funny. It's ok if she's a Palin, right? #PalinBrawl #WarOnWomen

Hi @CarolCNN! It's Lizzy again. U never answered me yesterday re the Bristol Palin physical assault & why it was funny. I 'll wait….

We’ll be waiting, too.

There isn't a woman who could hear Bristol detailing her assault and not be disgusted… unless they're feminist hypocrites. @CarolCNN

If she looks like a hypocrite, anchors CNN like a hypocrite and quacks like a hypocrite, then guess what … she’s probably a hypocrite! More reaction from our fellow conservatives:

Apparently @CarolCNN is okay with a woman getting physically assaulted by a man if her last name is Palin…

Nobody laughed when aging mean girl @CarolCNN talked about her assault last month but she sure yukked it up when a Palin reported her's.
