Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz was roasted on Friday after writing a column the day after the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell.
The article, published by the right-wing website Spectator USA, was titled, “The Ghislaine Maxwell I know.”
The Daily Beast characterized the column as “an impassioned defense of the British socialite that seemed to suggest he’s rooting for her.”
Dershowitz was quickly roasted online, here’s some of what people were saying:

What did Ghislaine Maxwell ever do to deserve getting praised by Alan Dershowitz… Oh right, now I remember what she did. Pretty fitting. pic.twitter.com/GYOeY6kSpp

People are angry about Alan Dershowitz defending Ghislaine Maxwell, but I’d like to remind them that these claims against Maxwell are more than 12 years old, which means Dershowitz will stop caring about them any day now. Just give it some time.

What an amazing feeling it must be to be an editor at some website or newspaper opinion section and see that email from Alan Dershowitz with a subject line like “Story Idea?” show up in your inbox.

Of course Alan Dershowitz, the man who represented #BenedictDonald, would be spending this July 4th weekend writing an article defending Ghislaine Maxwell.
I cant wait for this whole thing to explode in all of these creeps’ faces!

Between Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, and himself, Alan Dershowitz is really cornering the “making shameless excuses for vile people who prey on underage girls” niche.

If @AlanDersh keeps this up, people are going to start lying and saying they didn’t go to Harvard.
