Sarah Palin Accuses Media of Double Standard with Duggar Molestation Scandal

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has spoken out in defense of the Duggar family amid a molestation scandal, arguing that the media holds a double standard for Christian and liberal figures. 

Palin made her remarks in a Facebook posting this week, arguing that the media has unfairly criticized the Duggar family for their molestation scandal while awarding actress Lena Dunham for a sexual story she told in her book, "Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's Learned."

Recently, 27-year-old Josh Duggar issued an apology for reportedly molesting four of his sisters and one family friend over ten years ago when he was 14-years-old. Since his apology, two of his sisters, Jill and Jessa, have come out to assert that they are in fact victims of the molestation.

In her book "Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's Learned," Dunham tells a story of when she was seven-years-old and convinced her younger sister to give her kisses and show her her genitals in exchange for candy.

"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," Palin wrote.

"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," Palin added.
