As quickly as the news of celebrity attorney Michael Avenattis Wednesday arrest for alleged felony domestic violence hit the internet, conservatives took to Twitter to react to what they viewed as an obvious double standard.
Let me be clear: I have consistently called on white males like me to step, take responsibility, and be a part of stoping the sexism and bigotry that other white males engage in. It is especially important for them to call out other white males. I make this pt in my speeches.

Donald Trump Jr. led reactions with a simple link to the original TMZ story along with a wry reference to “Democratic Presidential Candidate Michael Avenatti.”

Conservatives of all stripes latched onto Avenattis own seeming admonition during the Kavanaugh hearings that any accuser, especially that of his client Julia Swetnick, should be believed regardless of evidence. As it turns out, a mantra of “Believe All Women” might not be so convenient when its yourself who is charged. (RELATED: Avenatti Takes Aim At Grassley, Hits Feinstein By Mistake)
Cant wait for the scumbag Michael Avenatti to tell us not to believe a woman (his estranged wife no less) after demanded we believe all womens accusations. His hypocrisy will finally be undeniably revealed. https://t.co/VJKrynkDZL

Wait, accusations without proof can be used to unjustly damage someones reputation? Avenatti doesnt have the best grasp of irony does he? https://t.co/yGSRsNOhNB

Michael Avenatti says the charges against him are “completely bogus.” I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but I was told #BelieveWomen.

unlike Brett Kavenaugh, who Avenatti tried to ruin, @MichaelAvenatti will get the due process he is deserved. but sadly, the irony will be lost on him.

Bad news is because he hit a woman, Avenatti probably wont be President. Good news is he still has an excellent chance of becoming DNC Co-Chair.

I have always believed in the presumption of innocence but I know Michael Avenatti is not a fan of that principle. Out of respect for his preferences, I will therefore assume that he is guilty as hell.

I guess CNN only does wall-to-wall coverage on Avenatti when hes suing innocent people, not when hes getting arrested for domestic violence.

Even liberal actress and activist Alyssa Milano condemned Avenattis alleged actions as “totally disgusting,” tweeting on Wednesday that she is “disavowing Avenatti.”
Totally disgusting. And before anyone asks me, yes, Im disavowing Avenatti. I do not care what side hes on. #Basta https://t.co/sHK1PggVsj
