Well, at least someone’s got her back.
The queen of controversy, Ann Coulter, and fallen beauty queen Carrie Prejean have been compared in recent months for their outspoken advocacy of conservative Christian values.
Coulter even came to Prejean’s defense after her performance on “Larry King Live,” saying the veteran anchorman was badgering her.
But now with word of multiple sex tapes and other bad behavior, Yeas & Nays sat down with Coulter to see whether she could still stand behind the beauty queen.
“I would say that she is a great gal,” Coulter said. “I think she did some bad things unbecoming of a Christian … the latest entry that she lied about the age she was [in the sex tape]. It was rather more recent and that there are more tapes, that makes it a little trickier.”
Despite Prejean’s “sins,” Coulter said how she handles the tapes is critical.
“I just hope she clings to Christ and not to these pornographers who want to offer her a lot of money to market the tapes,” Coulter said.
As for her reported bad behavior toward a CNN news assistant on the set of “Larry King Live,” Coulter blamed Prejean’s immaturity combined with broken promises by the media.
“Suddenly she is in the vortex of all of this hatred. And you have to say that it is directed at her for being a Christian — that’s a lot to take,” Coulter said. “I mean Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan and the rest of them don’t handle the media, young fame very well.”
In the end, Coulter went back to the usual target — lack of family values.
“She came from a broken family, and girls who grow up without their fathers are often going to be found to be a little more promiscuous than the average girl,” Coulter said. “And I hope being a Christian will help her get over that.”
