Ann Coulter Digs “F—ing Jews” Hole Deeper – Also Taking Shot at Evangelical Christians
Coulter’s remarks sparked a stream of support from anti-Semites, including terrorist Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
After the GOP debate on Wednesday night, Ann Coulter sent out the following tweets. As left-leaning Israeli newspaper Haaretz noted:
Coulter, who has 660,000 Twitter followers, was reacting to the frequent mentions of Israel made by participants in the second televised Republican debate held Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Library in California.
As to Coulter’s tweet at the top, the candidates were asked how the world would look different once Air Force One was parked in the hangar of their presidential library. (See debate transcript here.)
Coulter misrepresented the question in her tweet and then used it as an opportunity to bash candidates who included Israel in their answer. But more than bash candidates, she bashed Israel and Jews. And it was as if she were champing at the bit to do so.
I have never been a fan of Ann Coulter and have often wondered why she is such a darling of the right. She appears immature, haughty, obnoxious, full of herself, and self-conscious (enough with the hair gesture, Ann), and sometimes downright vile.
I often get the feeling she prides herself on being blunt and provocative just for the sake of it. There’s a lot of noise about her that makes it difficult to separate what she has to say from who she seems to be.
But now she’s made it perfectly clear who she is. And it’s sickening.

Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter’s rant about “f—king Jews” was “misunderstood,” she claimed in a Daily Beast interview late Thursday, as she denied that the remarks reinforce anti-Semitic stereotypes.
“I think it was ripped out of context and lied about,” Coulter stated. “Anyone following any of the debate in America knew exactly what I was talking about… My tweet was about Republicans and the pandering. It wasn’t about Israel, it wasn’t about Jews. It’s what Republicans are thinking in their little pea brains.”
Coulter then dug herself deeper, taking a shot at Evangelical Christians.
“I could say the same thing about Evangelicals,” she said. “Who are you pandering to? A lot of it is to Sheldon Adelson and the Evangelicals…this kind of suck-uppery is humiliating.”
“There is no doubt that the Republican Party is the party of Israel and of Life,” she added. “So why keep sucking up on Israel?”
When asked whether her remarks could perpetuate the idea that Jews “run Hollywood” or the media, Coulter admitted: “Well, this episode is not going a long way to disprove that.”
Coulter then took cheap shots at Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, oddly choosing to link his policies with the US’s illegal immigration issues.
“I’d like to move Israel to the northern border of Mexico, and see what happens then,” she said. “These Republicans say fences don’t work – I’d like to see some of them explain Netanyahu’s policy on the fence.”
Even before her attempted explanations, Coulter’s remarks sparked a stream of support from anti-Semites, including Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
