Ann Coulter has been one of Donald Trump's biggest fans, but the conservative commentator said in an interview excerpt published on Monday that she cannot defend Trump's retweet of an unflattering photo of Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) wife, Heidi Cruz.
During an podcast interview with Milo Yiannopoulos, another Trump supporter, Coulter said she found Trump's action upset her.
"Im a little testy with our man right now," she said.
"You are? Daddys annoyed you?" Yiannopoulos asked in response, referring to Trump.
"Our candidate is mental. Do you realize our candidate is mental? Its like constantly having to bail out your sixteen-year-old son from prison," Coulter replied. "OK, lets move past last nights tweet."
"This is the worst thing hes done," she continued, adding that Trump's comments about Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) status as a war hero were also hard to defend.
"Everything else I could probably defend. I could, I think, off the top of my head. Most of it it was them overreacting," she said, referring to liberals. "But the McCain thing, that was OK it was a dumb joke, it didnt work. Oh, well. Didnt kill him. But that tweet last night "
Later in the interview, Coulter confirmed that she was referring to Trump's Heidi Cruz retweet when Yiannopoulos mentioned that Trump retweeted "a picture of Cruzs wife and a picture of Melania."
"Thats exactly the tweet Im talking about," Coulter said. "No, you cant defend it. This is when were bailing our sixteen-year-old out of jail."
True...but interesting Anne struggling about Trump...her comment referring to Trump........Its like constantly having to bail out your sixteen-year-old son from prison,”....reflects similar to another who wrote...Trumps like a school kid blowing milk through his nose to have to find something new to do the next day for attention.
I dropped Ann long ago but peek from time to time to see what she’s up to. Like Beck she fell between the cracks of her own demise.
Or you can choose to ignore unfounded accusations which is probably the best way to handle it.
Why give it more press?
If Ted did deny, the little trumpers would just say he was lying.
I think he’s taken the high road on this one.
The elite power class on both sides of the aisle hate Trump. The media is in full gotcha mode. Donald us not a slick campaigner. The GOPe hates that Trump has fired up the great unwashed, middle-right folks and broadened the tent. Trump is a symptom of the failed GOPe, and is not a disease.
Good thing only young and cute women vote!
Yes. Kinda sad about Ann. She used to be a hot property, appearing often on late night shows and on Fox.
But she had become old news until she tried to become re-relevant by jumping on the Trump train, only to realize too late that it had de-railed.
But, yes, her description of Trump was funny and accurate.
He is exactly like a school kid. I used to say he was an aging frat boy but he’s not that mature.
Look at his demented rant all over TV yesterday about that female reporter that his man grabbed. You would think the woman’s name was Megyn for all he said about her.
I don’t mind him defending Cory but his over the top ranting was soooo unnerving.
Can’t some of his friends or family get him to put a lid on it?
Naah. It just hit a nerve because it revealed to Ann that, like Heidi, she is no longer young and cute. She's hit "the wall."
And it will "hit a nerve" with most women who aren't "young and cute", and don't like to be devalued because they no longer - or never did - look like the 3rd Ms. Trump.
“Not a slick campaigner” Very kind way of putting it.
Each passing day, Donald makes it more difficult to justify supporting him. I haven’t wanted to believe it, but logically, this is how people act when they want to sabotage themselves, when they’ve gotten too deep into playing a part.
A lot of what Donald has said, and continues to say, I agree with, but for every step forward, he will jump back four spaces, wallowing in name calling and the smearing of someone’s character. After Donald’s great speech at AIPAC, I thought he had turned a corner, was ready to get serious.
But no, not really. I don’t think even Trump expected his movement to effect the people so deeply.
If he doesn’t want the position, I wish he’d just say so.
The majority of the last three weeks have been an exercise in self destruction disguised as self defense.
I’m sure a lot will disagree with me, so go ahead. There is no law saying we must all think the same on the site.
At the same time, I don’t feel any need to put others down for their beliefs and expectations about this campaign.
The results of this November remain a Complete Unknown for us all.
I’m pulling back on my enthusiasm for Donald, because I don’t think he really even wants to win. I think he just likes being able to manipulate the public. Driving all sides nutty with uncertainty. It’s almost like what a cat owner will do with a bright red laser flashlight, beaming it high, low, fast, slow, and laughing at the cats as they struggle to ‘catch’ what can never be caught, because there is nothing there, nothing but a bright moving image.
I will continue to observe, and to hope for the best, but
I’m not putting my hopes in Donald for now, not nearly as I had been doing.
What you call the ‘Missus Cruz thingee” is what a lot of us call the Donald Trump road to hell thingee.
It has hurt him and it will continue to hurt him.
Little trumpers like to claim Cruz started it with the naked photo but that has been denied and cannot be proven. I don’t believe he had anything to do with it or even knew about it.
You may think he did, but you cannot prove it.
What we can prove is that The Don himself posted the nasty picture of Heidi Cruz with his own short little tweeting fingers.
Your opinion stated....”Ted Cruz has never denied these published allegations. Never.”
Well he certainly did....saying...”These smears are completely false”....that’s certainly a denial.
You further said....”what was needed is Ted standing there with all these women saying...”We didn’t do it”.
You have got to be kidding!.....these aren’t school ground accusations where you bring children together to get at who said what or not.... This is a Presidential Candidate running for the highest office in the land being falsely accused for something which is a political smear.
The less attention to the smut the better....his denial was more than sufficient. ..and he probably could have ignored it all together. Since it’s certainly understood to be the favorite attack the Demorats use against a candidate during elections.
I cannot believe you are so shallow and cruel.
Not everyone poses for Playboy or marries rich men for love or money?
What is this about women’s looks. What does your wife, sister, or mother look like?
It’s not all about looks for either sex. It’s about character and goodness.
As I noted, married women aren't going to be quite as bothered, even if they are old.
But ...there are two kinds of unmarried women: those who used to be goddesses, and are just coming to terms with the fact that *other* women are now getting all the hawt male attention, and those who never were goddesses, and have become accepting of that fact.
The hardest hit are those who used to be hot, are not hot any more, and are now forced to scale their demands in their shopping list for a man, downwards.
I believe Ann (for all her sterling qualities) bids fair to be in that group, not the least reason being her career success: women marry up in socioeconomic status, and generally want the man to be taller, stronger, and smarter than her as well. But the men who occupy those lofty heights, can pick any woman they want: they don't have to settle for aging brainiacs.
Well it is interesting to see Anne’s stuggling about her support of Trump. Which is the acutual story here.
He'll sink or swim.
I'm not concerned.
Believe it or not, Trump will continue to live his life whether you or I care or not. :)
You should lighten up, altura.
You sure know a lot about women.
It is the women who loftily sleep their way to the top, or take all the attention, favors, and attention for granted, but keep rebuffing suitable men, only to find they cut it too close, and now have to cast their sights downward, once their looks fade, who are shallow.
As for cruelty: even average women have access to far more dates to far more attractive men. Women date *up* and all women now seek the top 10% of men. (E.g. I knew a 38-year old divorcee with two kids who was trying to date the CEO of a company.) The rest of the men are left in the cold. Women hitting the wall just discover what most of life has been like for most men.
And I will continue to live my life.
But what about you and all the little trumpers who have invested their very hearts and souls in this unworthy man who cares nothing for them.
What about them finally having to admit to themselves that their god has feet of something worse than clay.
That’s who I’m thinking the ‘homes’ better make room for.
Maybe you’d better make a reservation before they get full.
You are worse than shallow and cruel.
You are demented.
