Ann Coulter posted a link to a recent article on her websitetitled To Say, Stop Raping Me! In English, Press 1 Now on Twitter earlier this week. She added the comment,Liberals are all for rape, provided that the penis forcibly inserted in you is attached to an illegal immigrant.

Coulter said she received an email from Twitter support informing her that the tweet had been flagged as violating Twitters hateful conduct policy. Twitters policy defines hateful conduct as:

Coulter replied to the complaint by stating, This warning is absolutely in error! It has obviously been generated by a computer because a human would read the linked column and find the proof that this tweet is completely, 100% truthful fact by fact, in side-by-side cases. It is not a joke, not hate, it is just the truth.

Twitter has a lengthy history of ignoring hate speech when it comes from those on the left, such as Ghostbusters(2016) actress Leslie Jonesor rapper Talib Kweli, who called Breitbart News Jerome Hudson a coon, yet Coulters tweet was quickly flagged by the social media platform.

Twitters warning email also noted, if it is determined that the flagged content does not violate our hateful conduct policy, Twitter may still withhold content in Germany if the content appears to violate the laws of Germany. In April, Germanys Cabinet approved a bill that would fine social media sites like Twitter up to 50 million euros if they fail to swiftly remove illegal content such as hate speech.

The same media that slavishly ignored the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl by two illegal immigrants in Rockville, Maryland, spent last week crowing about the prosecutor's refusal to bring charges.

It turns out that illegal aliens gang-raping a 14-year-old girl in a bathroom stall is not a statutory rape because ... the girl had previously sent one of her assailants prurient text messages.

Somebody better tell the college campuses.

Columbia University's Mattress Girl, Emma Sulkowicz, became an international cause celebre after alleging rape against a fellow student to whom she'd sent dozens of desperate and salacious messages -- including, most memorably, "f--k me in the butt," and "I wuv you so much."

She'd also had consensual sex with him several times, only one of which she deemed "rape."

Sulkowicz's "f--k me in the butt" texts were no impediment to her becoming the face of silenced rape victims on campus. She was sympathetically profiled everywhere; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand invited her to Obama's 2015 State of the Union address; and she dragged a mattress around campus with her as her senior thesis project ...

"... a succinct and powerful performance piece ..." -- The New York Times

"... like "The Vagina Monologues," only more subtle ..." -- Ann Coulter

In its lavish coverage of our brave mattress-toting heroine, the Times reminded readers: "False reports of rape are rare, many experts say." In fact, according to the FBI, there are more false rape claims than false reports of any other crime.

That's why normal people like to look at the facts. For example, how long did it take the alleged victim to report the rape? How sophisticated is she? Is the story plausible? Did the accuser have any other motive to cry rape? And is there any record of her begging the suspect to sodomize her?

Mattress Girl waited seven months to report her rape -- even then, only to college administrators, not the police. In the intervening months, she strenuously, albeit unsuccessfully, pursued a relationship with her alleged rapist.

Rolling Stone's "Jackie" never reported her apocryphal rape, explaining to The Washington Post that after allegedly being violently gang-raped, she was "unaware of the resources available to her." (Heard of 911?)

By contrast, the 14-year-old girl in Maryland emerged from the bathroom stall and immediately reported her rape to the police.

According to the police report, she had run into her friend, 17-year-old Jose Montano, and his friend, 18-year-old Henry Sanchez-Milian, in a school hallway. (The 17- and 18-year-olds are both in the 9th grade. We really are getting the best illegal immigrants!) She knew Montano, but not Sanchez-Milian. Montano hugged her, slapped her buttocks and asked her to have sex with both men.

She says she said no -- something generally missing from the corpus of cases making up the "campus rape epidemic."

Montano and Sanchez-Milian then forced her into a boys' bathroom, according to the report, where she grabbed the bathroom sink to stop them from dragging her into a stall, repeatedly saying "no." In the stall, the illegals took turns holding her down, as they penetrated her orally, vaginally and anally. As she was screaming, they yelled at one another in Spanish.

Although there was no hard evidence, like the victim dragging a mattress around for a year, police investigators did find blood and semen in the bathroom stall.

If even one story on the left's via dolorosa of campus rape had allegations like these, the accuser would be on a postage stamp, have laws named after her, and she'd be the one giving the State of the Union address. She'd be having lunch with Lena Dunham, Emma Watson would play her in the movie, and Lady Gaga would write a song about her.

Instead, because the accused rapists ("Dreamers," as I call them) are illegal aliens, the media want to submit their names for sainthood. The prosecutor, Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy, wants to know how short the 14-year-old's skirt was.

McCarthy dropped rape charges against both suspects, reportedly on the grounds that the girl had previously sent nude photos of herself to Montano. This, the prosecutor interpreted as consent to have multi-orifice sex in a bathroom stall with him, as well as any of his friends.

Can we get the pre-consent-by-text rule written into college guidelines on sexual assault?

However risque her texts were, can't a girl change her mind? Evidently, she thought it was rape when she emerged from the bathroom, inasmuch as she promptly notified authorities. Isn't it possible she also thought it was rape as it was happening, an hour or so earlier?

Mattress Girl was old enough to attend college, vote and buy a mattress, but it was rude to mention her text requests for anal sex and previous romps with the alleged rapist. Only when the accused is an illegal do the victim's X-rated texts become binding consent to all forms of sex with the illegal -- plus his friends.

There's also the fact that she's 14 years old! Her alleged rapists are 17 and 18. Under about 700 years of Anglo-Saxon law, that's statutory rape. (Statute of Westminster of 1275.) Apparently, diversity -- in addition to being a "strength" -- requires us to jettison our statutory rape laws.

This is the case the media are howling with glee about -- demanding that President Trump apologize for even mentioning it.

The New York Times and Washington Post both editorialized about Trump's "reflexive immigrant-bashing" -- after first telling their readers about the alleged rape that neither paper had bothered reporting when it happened.

CNN -- which also didn't mention the Rockville case until charges were dropped -- is in a state of high dudgeon at Trump for citing the rape.

Erin Burnett announced: "Tonight, the White House not backing down, refusing to retract its comments on an alleged rape case used -- that they used as an example of why the United States should crack down on illegal immigration."

Correspondent Ryan Nobles raged that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer referred to what happened to the 14-year-old girl as "tragedies like this."

"Tragedies!" This milquetoast, boring American girl got to experience diversity, up close -- vaginally, anally and orally -- AND THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY CALLS THAT A "TRAGEDY"?

In multicultural America, sexually active college coeds are treated like naive 14-year-old girls, while naive 14-year-old girls are treated like hardened hussies -- depending on who the accused rapist is. A "frat boy," an athlete (black or white) or a white male: Always guilty, no due process allowed. Illegal aliens: She was asking for it.

To Say, 'Stop Raping Me!' in English, Press '1' Now - Ann Coulter - Townhall

I founded BridgeUSA, the nonpartisan organization that invited Ann Coulter to the University of California at Berkeleys campus. Our organization hopes to create a future in which our campus and our country are venues for free and fair political discussion and debate from all sides. We stand for the preservation of spaces where political ideas can be shared and challenged without fear of violence.

To that end, we decided to bring Coulter to Berkeley to speak to a body of mainly liberal students on immigration. Unfortunately, threatened attacks from extremist groups forced the cancellation of this event. Lets be clear: Blame for the cancellation of Coulters speech does not rest solely on the shoulders of any individual. The administration, student groups including ours, external resistance groups and the media all made mistakes that need to be corrected. Fundamentally, though, the system of political dialogue and debate is broken, not just on this campus, but across the nation.

We formed our organization earlier this year after the infamous Milo Yiannopoulos event here, where an incendiary speaker, violent rioters and a divided nation combined to create the perfect storm of political controversy. The university canceled a speech in February by Yiannopoulos, a prominent conservative writer, after intense protests that led to a campuswide shelter in place order. That day, instigation and violence replaced mediation and conversation and we wanted to repair this breakdown in communication. Our goal since then has been to facilitate dialogue between political opposites, allowing everyone to engage with and understand opposing viewpoints. We have so far been successful in hosting forum sessions and debates on a series of different issues. Weve hosted five events in about two months. Many students were immediately interested in our mission, and our membership has expanded rapidly we have 40 officers and about 150 to 200 members.

Coulter was the choice of conservative groups on campus to represent their perspective in a larger campus debate about illegal immigration we were hosting. Liberal groups on campus had chosen Maria Echaveste, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton. She spoke on April 17 and answered questions from conservative students in the audience.

Coulters ideas have an audience, and though most members of our group disagree with her, we recognize the following she draws. We also understand that many see her as an inflammatory figure with destructive beliefs that disqualify her from appearing at an institution of higher learning. But we believe the only productive way to fight views one sees as bad or dangerous is with better views. So we chose to get involved and include Coulter in our speaker series on immigration so students could hear, and actively challenge, her views.

We planned for the event to be a debate-style, question-and-answer session with rebuttals to allow for a dialogue. Coulter would have fielded tough questions about her views from students in the audience, and we would have done our part to ensure that she would answer those questions in their entirety and give students the opportunity to respond. Rather than repeating the failures of Yiannopoulos event, we wanted to create a national example for what free discourse and the questioning of ideas should look like here at Berkeley, the home of the free speech movement 50 years ago.

Free speech isnt about provocation, violence, publicity stunts, selling books or testing limits. At their best, universities start and nurture conversations that advance dialogue and understanding further. Regrettably, the developments surrounding this event led it to fall out of line with our beliefs as an organization.

National media coverage of Coulters visit mostly overlooked BridgeUSAs role and our plan for the event, instead reporting that the incident was a repeat of the Yiannopoulos fracas exactly what we set out to avoid. And as the tensions between student safety and free speech entered the justice system, Yiannopoulos himself announced that he would be organizing a free speech week on Sproul Plaza where he and his supporters would attack a new perceived enemy of free speech every day. It pains me to see our campus being used as a pulpit for bad actors, people whose goal is to elevate themselves by inciting violence, without a thought for the safety of students who live and attend school here.

Sproul Plaza is becoming a battleground, and the ones who are left to pick up the bill of consequences areBerkeleys students, who is vilified every day in the press for destruction that outside groups are responsible for. Antifa and other black-bloc groups that are able to organize do so far beyond the perimeters of our campus, and they receive an insignificant amount of support from Berkeley students, if any. But in national news, all thats seen is violence and destruction being used to censor speech.

What disheartens me is seeing the words free speech used as a tool to garner headlines and publicity. The whole purpose behind the idea of free speech has been lost. Whats happening on our campus is no longer about advancing discourse or trying to reach a larger truth and understanding about policy issues so that better decisions can be made. Its just a furious chase to get in front of the news cameras and be trending on Twitter and Facebook.

Conservative groups, in their attempt to frame this complex series of events as a free speech battle by suing Berkeleys administration, have used the label of free speech as a tool for publicity. Our organization prides itself on the values of free inquiry and discourse, yet we understand the impossible trade-off that the university faces: the administration is caught between upholding its commitment to free speech and its responsibility for student safety.

The administration attempted to work with us, to propose alternative dates this semester and next semester where a defensible venue would be available. In balancing the concerns of protecting students and allowing peaceful protest, they never backed down from their commitment to help us bring Coulter to campus. It is easy and expedient to blame the university in this situation, but that avoids the actual problem. The true issue here is not the way that the university handled this situation; rather, it is the fact that this trade-off between student safety and free speech even exists in the first place.

Its a scary situation when the university cannot perfectly perform its duty, when it cannot guarantee the safety of all speakers at all times in all places. Those who would threaten student safety and destroy our campus to silence speech they disagree with are culpable for the existence of this new trade-off. And violence and threats which restrict the free exchange of ideas constitute fascism under the banner of anti-fascism.

We challenge the Berkeley administration, the Berkeley College Republicans and Coulter to work collaboratively and address the cancellation of the event and the current political climate. These respective parties continue to affirm their commitment to free speech, but they have demonstrated minimal effort in speaking freely with one another. Civil discussions are necessary to progress our democracy and address pressing points of contention.

We can alleviate polarization if we come to the table to talk, but until then, there is no constructive way forward. Threatening violence does not change minds, and instigating controversy for publicity does not fix a broken system. We, as a community, have to recognize that there is a world outside of Berkeley: How can we promote what we believe if we are associated with images of violence? We need to act with the knowledge that everyone is watching.

We refuse to meet speech with violence and oppression. We refuse to invoke the right to free speech to inflame, attack and generate publicity. We refuse to accept the current status quo surrounding speech on university campuses across the country. Instead, we will continue to pursue our mission of creating environments in which students can engage with their peers as free thinkers, express their opinions without fear and have their beliefs, suppositions and prejudices challenged rather than dismissed. Only through these means can we begin to bridge the gap brought on by polarization and allow for a free exchange of political ideas.

Conservative author AnnCoulter says President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey is an attempt to "distract" attention from the lack of progress on building the border wall.

"Comey firing is a red herring to distract from the fact that Trump hasn't started building the wall," she tweeted Tuesday.

Comey firing is a red herring to distract from the fact that Trump hasn't started building the wall.

"Today's BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Miles completed yesterday-- Zero; Miles completed since Inauguration--Zero. NEXT UPDATE TOMORROW," she tweeted.

Today's BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Miles completed yesterday-- Zero; Miles completed since Inauguration--Zero. NEXT UPDATE TOMORROW.

Coulter has said that she is "a little annoyed" that Trump's core campaign promise has not been implemented by the GOP leadership and that the funding for the project was cut during negotiations over a spending bill that prevented a government shutdown.

"I am a little annoyed this was the campaign promise that shook up the political world ... they are not funding a wall to avoid a government shutdown? Not having a wall is the definition of the government shutdown," she said.
