Ann Coulter said late Wednesday she was just asking questions.
Prior to an appearance Wednesday evening with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, Coulter said in reference to pro-Israel remarks made during the second televised GOP primary debate, "How many f---ing Jews do these people think are in United States?"
The right-wing provocateur defended these and other questionable tweets Wednesday, explaining in her Fox interview that she was merely criticizing "pandering" by the GOP candidates.
"You want to take that back?" Kelly asked the author about her tweet.
"No," Coulter responded, "I just tweeted the question – well, actually, I was tweeting all night when all the candidates were pandering, pandering, pandering. I wrote my column about it. They seem to be getting certain boxes: Have to mention Reagan, have to mention that they're pro-life, have to mention Israel."
"The entire Republican Party is pro-Reagan, pro-life, pro-Israel," she added. "The last question was: After you're president, how will America be better? And suddenly, we're back to Israel again. It's just this checking off of the boxes, and the virtues boxes and it's one of the things I like about – in fact, I think they're probably pandering … to evangelicals, um, not Jews. It's just pandering, pandering, pandering, something we all agree on is not really separating the candidates."

Coulter is very upset her name has not been in the news lately. So she decided to fix that.
It sounded more like an adjective to me. Tacky.
She gets so crazy when she has a book to push. Actually, she appears to be a very neurotic person. Very successful and smart but weird. Who knew she didn’t like Israeli Jews?
So? Saying “Hillary did it too” isn’t really a good defense!
Don’t drink and FReep!
You might wake up in the morning with a ZOT hangover :)
I agree...would save a lot of morning after regrets.
Still...these must be her real thoughts that came out. She can go jump wherever.
Good for you! In my case; since I never had any for Ann in the first place, she hasn’t lost mine.
She’s been an insider for years. Her love of Romney, Christie and Rubio is all the evidence you need of that.
She gives new meaning to the term “dumb blond”.
Here’s the tweet, for informational purposes:

You’re thinking of Bruce Jenner.
Years ago she was a decent Conservative.
Boy have the years been unfriendly to her, with regard to her views.
Sad really...
I agree.
You know, it’s amazing how many people I thought were decent during the Clinton years because they saw him for who he was.
He went away and all of a sudden it became clear that other than their views of him, we had nothing in common with them.
A number of the worst of the worst on MSNBC were decent during the Clinton years. They would take him to task.
Now they probably swoon over the guy. Go figure...
Which Jews? The Israeli Jews or the American ones?
From the NY Times:
“Seventy percent of American Jews voted for Barack Obama. The result is in line with the 74 percent support he received in 2008, and the 70 percent average support Democratic presidential candidates have received since exit polling began in 1972.
In the swing states of Ohio and Florida, Jewish voters backed the president by 69 and 68 percent, respectively. They supported Democrats for Congress nationally by 69 to 30 percent. As they always have.”
Ann is the classiest person out there.
Savage discussing it, opening segment, first hour.
People always think jews have a secret loyalty to Israel.
Evangelical Christians have a deep loyalty to Israel, and it is no secret. It isn’t pandering, pandering to who? It is just who they are. Who we are.
Though she sometimes presents herself as a Christian, the fact that she doesn’t get it already identifies her as “other”.
Obama’s “deal” with Iran places Israel in mortal danger, and people know it. Some people shrug. That would be Ann, for example.
Huck, Cruz, Rubio, find themselves talking about Israel not because they are seeking support from anyone but because that is who they are, they are evangelical Christians. If America is going to abandon Israel to its enemies, it isn’t going to happen on their watch.
>> Which Jews? The Israeli Jews or the American ones?
The Jews in a generic, religious sense. As in GOD’s chosen people; the root into which we gentiles are grafted as branches through the saving work of Yeshua Hamashiach. (as Paul eloquently described it in Romans 11).
Those Jews.
