After Carolina’s loss in last night’s Super Bowl, Panters quarterback Cam Newton gave a terse post-game press conference before walking out:
Cam Newton is very sad, walks off in the middle of his post-game press conference: https://t.co/ICRqrK8kHQ https://t.co/QJ8tPIavVb

That caught Rob Lowe’s eye, who commented:
Wow. What a press conference from Cam Newton. So gracious!So classy! So humble! What an example to kids! Just like Peyton. #dab #SuperBowl

Steven Crowder noticed that Lowe angered many who accused him of hypocrisy and other things:

Here’s a sampling of the kind of criticism that was tweeted Lowe’s way:
Didn't you star in a sextape with a 16 year old girl in 1988? Sit this one out https://t.co/dxo8cwvEZX

Rob Lowe was SO classy when he was Cam Newton's age. https://t.co/aqt7FAGujV https://t.co/ArQnMsLRH2

Cam left a press conference. When @RobLowe was Cam's age, he made a sex tape w/a 16-yr old & was in rehab. Hypocrite https://t.co/NJ0vySU3lt

Crowder offered this take:
The “rapist” tweets stem from this incident in the 80s. He had consensual sex with someone who lied about their age. Actually, two someones, but her friend was 23. Far be it from me to deem that morally acceptable, but come on. This was a famous 80’s teen star getting down with groupies, not a perverted child molestor. Let’s get real.
@scrowder Steve Id love to point out robs unfortunate situation unfolded on his way back from a democratic convention… when he was liberal
