Ann Coulter Criticizes Donald Trump's Immigration Plan, Blames Roger Ailes
ABC News ^ | Aug 25, 2016 | Liz Stark

Posted on 08/26/2016 9:27:54 AM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

Ann Coulter did not hold back when talking about Roger Ailes on this week’s episode of “Powerhouse Politics” podcast.

Coulter, who this week published her book, “In Trump We Trust,” blasted the former CEO of Fox News, who she suspects might be behind Trump’s latest immigration plan.

“[Trump] seems to be getting contradictory advice. I’ve seen these rumors he’s now being advised by Roger Ailes, the former head of the Marco Rubio super PAC known as Fox News. Suddenly he’s sounding like Rubio,” said Coulter.

“He was using all the clichés from the Gang of Eight bill,” she continued. “I don’t know who he’s getting it from, but the idea that his base is not going to mind is nonsense. And the idea that it helps him with anyone is nonsense.”

Speaking with ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl and ABC News Political Director Rick Klein, Coulter explained her frustration with the latest shifts in Trump’s immigration plan.

“I am trying to encourage Donald Trump to dump whomever the moron is who told him Americans are staying up at night worried about how people who broke our laws entering, broke our laws staying here, broke our laws taking jobs, how comfortable they are,” Coulter said.

“I can’t believe Coulter is piling onto this BS!”

I can’t either. I am just amazed.

So Trump wants to step away from the primary issue that carried him to victory. So disappointing.

Too many people are worried about what the MSM interpreted Trump’s words to mean...

Trump is STILL Trump...

We have to have him or all is lost....

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has warned Donald Trump of “massive disappointment” if he backs down on his plan to deport undocumented immigrants.

Last night:

- - - -

” Wow! If you thought Trump was going soft, watch this video.

Trump said:

-no amnesty

-the wall will be built

-first day Trump becomes president all illegal immigrants in the US who are criminals and drug gang members will be thrown out

-drug traffic will stop on southern border

-Hillary is a bigot

-she should be in jail

-Trump crushed the alt right movement. Said no one even knows what that means

Anderson cooper tried to do gotchas but was absolutely no match for Trump. Trump crushed him. He accused Cooper of defending Hillary. If there is any doubt Trump was going soft, listen to this. Trump was Trump and there was no doubt where he stands. Wow!

“How could Trump have anything to do with anyone who was on Rubio’s campaign?”

And Kellyanne Conway was on Cruz’ campaign.

Disturbing.

What Trump says and what other people say are two different things.
I would say anyone saying Trump is going soft is suspect or just plain lazy and or stupid.
Have a nice day.:)

Ann is right. Trump never should have used the word “softening.”

We can blame it on Ailes, or his new campaign manager, but the buck stops with him.

I’ll still vote for him of course, but my enthusiasm is... softening.

Listen FR posters, got a better idea? Trump has to stay withing the law. It is up to the House and Senate to change the law. Shipping 30 to 50 million illegals to where? Countries will not take them back. How about a vacant island somewhere in the Pacific? Would that suit your stupid idea that “kick them all out”.

STAY WITHIN THE LAW!!!! IS THAT TOO DAMN HARD TO UNDERSTAND. Eventually most all will leave. Ann is an ass if she lacks the understand of law and order.

Trump for President.

I can’t believe Coulter is piling onto this BS!

Whether it is BS or not, the news is going around that Trump is "softening his stance" on immigration. If it's not true, he needs to refute it. If it is true, then he forgot the cardinal rule to "dance with the girl you brought to the dance".

No, but he gets to keep owning the news cycle.

That said, my idea is probably incorrect.

A question that must be asked:

Is Coulter turning out to be an establishment activist?

As was expected just a few years ago?

She’s trying to sell a new book on Trump which was released either this week or last, I forget. So she’s getting into the act to sell books.
