I know I'm quoting only a couple of tweets here, but these seems to sum up the consensus of the backlash..

Vanity Fair staffers should hope to accomplish 1/100th of what Hillary has in her life. Who are they to make any suggestions?!
and

So @VanityFair decided that the best way to end 2017 was to take a repulsive cheap shot at @HillaryClinton, one of the most accomplished women in the history of the United States
You don't quite see this kind of backlash when it comes to SNL's weekly skewerings of one of the most accomplished men in the history of the United States by people who should hope to accomplish 1/100th of what he has.

And while there are some melodramatic simpletons on the right who are offended by the liberal leanings that pervade comedy, they are mostly denounced merely as melodramatic simpletons. So denouncing any backlash in defense of Trump while validating any backlash in defense of Hillary, is where the hypocrisy lies.
