Conservative commentator Ann Coulter said she could support Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, in 2020 and even floated the idea of working in his administration if he returned to his earlier stance on immigration.
In a preview clip of PBSs Firing Line with Margaret Hoover released Wednesday, host Margaret Hoover asked Coulter how she viewed the progressive senator. She asked whether she would support him if he campaign on getting rid of low-skilled workers to ensure higher wages.
If he went back to his original position, which is the pro-blue-collar position. I mean, it totally makes sense with him," she said. If he went back to that position, Id vote for him. I might work for him. I dont care about the rest of the socialist stuff. Just-- can we do something for ordinary Americans?
Coulter was apparently referencing Sanders policy position from 2007 where he opposed an immigration reform bill that he feared would drive down wages for lower-income workers. He co-authored a restrictive immigration amendment with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-IA. The bill ultimately failed to pass the Senate.

Wow flip that hair Glammy Ann. Pretty soon she be a self appointed star with out a party. Because she is toxic
Please... can we not hear from her again!!!!!
She’s probably going through the mid life change, when some women become irrational and crazy! Hearing from her does not make my day!
Shes just saying whatever gets headlines and attention...
Dont know anyone who takes her seriously
She didn’t stop with just jumping the shark, she’s dry-humping the shark.
Ok Republicans, what about this? This is what is driving us TO socialism.
“... if he returned to his earlier stance on immigration.”
HAHAHAHA! If a frog had wings ... Without closing down that border, the socialism debate is moot. The Democrats know this. AOC/socialism is a distraction to get older Republicans to comfortably go back to the arguments about muh free markets from 25 years ago (and beyond). Meanwhile, a few hundred illegals crossed while I was typing that.
Ann is an embarrassment. Is there nothing she won’t say in her desperation to get attention?
I think the key phrase and quote here is this:
"If he went back to that position, Id vote for him. I might work for him. I dont care about the rest of the socialist stuff."
Once you say that, the rest of it is meaningless.
Trump has been drawing blue collar workers to our side, along with blacks and Hispanics -- more than any Republican in modern times. But for the sake of bombast, Coulter doesn't recognize that.
A socialist country like the UK has higher wage growth than the USA...
Looks like the immigration floodgates opened by the murderer Ted Kennedy had an impact on wages. FU wealthy elite, cheap labor a-holes! You’re on the list.
Trump is a classic pro worker nationalist . Republicans are not. There is a disconnect.
Look she has a point; so address the message and not the messenger.
More than anything, she is an attention seeker. She threw bombs from the Right, and that’s why a lot of people here (including me) liked her. In the wussified Compassionate Conservative Bush era, that was a refreshing change from the “turn the other cheek” or “there’s nothing we can do” hand-wringing of the Republican leadership. Now she’s throwing bombs to rile up the Right. I view her like Kayne West. When she says something I agree with or find amusing, great. But I don’t view her (and never have viewed her) as any type of conservative opinion leader.
Depends on what else was thrown into that bill.
She is looking to get attention! Becoming a nobody!
Another round bartender
She is illustrating that Trump could lose the high ground on his big issue.
If Trump does not deliver on Illegal Immigration, Democrats who voted Trump in 2016 because of immigration will vote Bernie in 2020.
Can we finally put her away?
Yes. PLEASE! Another media whore for $$$.
I’m sorry, your graph was informative and startling. Thanks for posting it. The theoretical support for Bernie if he changed his perspective, is like saying she’d support Hitler if he stopped killing gypsies. The rest of socialism is evil and should not be dismissed. Godwin’s rule is met.
