#UsToo panelist at CPAC. "Nothing has been worse for women than the hookup culture and abortion, which enables it." Crowd applauds.

Crowd member yells: "Not true! Not true! Not true!"

Smattering of boos and applause.

"Prove it!" yells another CPAC crowd member.

Yikes—CPAC panelist Mona Charen says there are people "sitting in the White House who brag about their extramarital affairs, who brag about mistreating women, and because he happens to have an 'R' by his name, we look the other way."

The crowd did not like that.

Mona Charen at CPAC torches Marion Le Pen: "The only reason she was here is she's named Le Pen. And the Le Pen name is a disgrace. Her grandfather is a racist and nazi. She claims she stands for him."

CROWD: BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CHAREN: "The fact that CPAC invited her is a disgrace."

FWIW, pretty clear the the boos were directed at Charen — not Le Pen, who was received well by this CPAC crowd on Thursday.
