Donald Trump mocks New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski during a campaign rally on Nov. 24, 2015. [Media Matters]

Even if Ann Coulters feelings are hurt over his recent softening on immigration, she had no problem justifying the Republican presidential candidates mockery of reporter Serge Kovaleski, Jezebel reported.

Coulter, who has been backing Trump throughout his run for the GOP nomination, weighed in on Trumps denigrating remarks toward Kovaleski in her new book.

He doesnt jerk around or flail his arms. Hes not r*tarded. He sits calmly, but if you look at his wrists, youll see they are curved in, Coulter wrote. Thats not the imitation Trump was doinghe was doing a standard r*tard, waving his arms and sounding stupid: Ahhh, I dont know what I saidahhh, I dont remember! Hes going, Ahhh, I dont remember, maybe thats what I said!'

Kovaleski lives with arthrogryposis, which causes his joints to contract and his hand to rest at unusual angles. Trump made the remarks during a campaign rally last November to defend his claim that thousands of Muslims celebrated the 9/11 attacks.

The remark was quickly turned into fodder for campaign ads on behalf of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, including one that ran during the Democratic National Convention last month.

But Coulter dismissed the issue, calling the chapter in the book regarding Kovaleski, Disabled Reporter Joins Media Effort to Create More Disabled Americans.

The books publication has been sidetracked somewhat by Coulters angry reaction to Trump backing off of his anti-immigrant rhetoric more recently, which caused her to huff online that he was considering amnesty.

Ann Coulter excuses Trumps ridicule of disabled reporter: He ...

Ann Coulter slammed Ted Cruz late last week in an interview promoting her new book, refusing to say whether she would support the Texas senator when he is up for reelection in 2018.

It probably wont really matter, Coulter told Business Insider while on a book tour for her latest offering, In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome.

I tend not to get involved in primaries, addedthe conservative firebrand, one of Donald Trump's fiercest supporters, when asked twice on whether she would support Cruz's reelection bid.

Coulter laced into Cruz throughout the interview, calling the former Republican presidential candidate a little wild sometimes and arguing he was a kind of tedious nails on a blackboard speaker.

At one point or another, everybody would kind of get a queasy feeling, the 11-time New York Times bestselling author said of Cruz.

"This idea that hes kind of an opportunist, and maybe he was going with the Bush team, remember he worked on Bushs first election," she added, referring to former President George W. Bush. "And then he gets shunted out of the White House into, what was it, the Federal Trade Commission. People just he seems to have kind of a grating personalty.

Coulter said that Cruz perhaps did the outsider role a bit too much.

I mean, you can fight for your principles without being the most hated member of the United States Senate, he said. And he was not telling the truth. There was a reason Donald Trump called him Lyin Ted. Now, he was at least smart enough unlike the rest of them, to imitate Trumps positions.

But he was born in Canada, not a natural born citizen, cant be president.

The final straw with Cruz came when he delivered his utterly self-indulgent speech at the Republican National Convention, Coulter said.

I mean, dont give a speech if youre not going to endorse the candidate, she said. Were a party and this has been happening throughout Trumps campaign. He keeps extending the olive branch. He keeps trying to play fair with the RNC and the party. He takes the pledge.

Coulter has found herself in a bit of an awkward position this week, as Trump has considerably softened his immigration stance the one thing she said could cause her to retract her support.

Ann Coulter says Democrats will steal a close election between Hillary ClintonHillary Rodham ClintonTrump: Clinton scandals have been 'sad, sad, sad for America' Clinton press secretary: Trump a formidable debate foe Clinton faces decision in Trump attack strategy MORE and Donald TrumpDonald TrumpTrump: 'Thoughts and prayers' for Wade family Kaine responds to Trump tweet on Dwyane Wades cousin Trump: Clinton scandals have been 'sad, sad, sad for America' MORE.

Any close election will be stolen by the Democrats,saidCoulter, a Trump supporter, Friday in an interview with Politico.

Thats because no ones prosecuting it.Its like saying theres no lynchings because in the old South, no one prosecuted it.No, were not counting the number of prosecutions.Thats the whole point.If people got prosecuted, it wouldnt happen.

Coulter said most voters would agree with Trumps policies if offered a blind choice between them and Clintons.

You go send out your pollsters to all of the areas where [theres] like the [Sen. Bernie] Sanders [I-Vt.] voters, Hispanic areas, black areas, and you down position papers, she said. "Candidate A, candidate B.

Then you tell them who it is, and you flip the page, and show whose positions are whose.Ask which one they support, and you know its going to be Trump.

Coulter also told Politico that Trump could win more black voters than any Republican since former President Richard Nixon. Politico said Nixon won 32 percent of the non-white vote during the 1960 presidential election cycle.

What is holding people back is that [Trumps] being smeared from every media outlet, she said.

People are so hysterical and that sort of pressure can work on people, the conservative commentator added. "People can be bullied.

Trump has repeatedly told supporters the political process is rigged against outsider candidates like himself.

On Monday heurgedhis supporters to exercise vigilance for voting trickery while casting ballots this November.

Youve got to get every one of your friends, he said during a rally in Akron, Ohio. "Youve got to get everybody to go out and watch.And go out and vote.

And when I say watch, you know what Im talking about, right? You know what Im talking about.I think you got to go out and you got to watch.

Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, leads Trump by about 6 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.

Ann Coulter: Dems will steal close election | TheHill

On Tuesday, conservative provocateur Ann Coulter released herlatest book an ode to Donald Trump titled "In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!" (Yes, that's the real title.)

That same day, Trump did the one thing Coulter wrote in her bookcannot be forgiven.

"Until the bleeding has stopped, there's nothing Trump can do that won't be forgiven," she wrote. "Except change his immigration policies."

Trump has now essentially changed his immigration policies, telling Sean Hannity in a town hall taped the very day Coulter's book hit the shelvesthat he's open to "softening" his position on illegal immigrants who have contributed to society. In further town hall remarks airing Wednesday night, Trump said that he didn't favor citizenship for immigrants living illegally in the country but thathe would "work with them" on a plan that would include "back taxes."

Coulter isn't happy.

On Twitter late Wednesday, she noted how similar Trump's rhetoric sounded to those who favor a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants.

She tweeted incredulously about Trump saying his proposal wasn't "amnesty."

And she wasn't happy about Trump's comment that deporting illegal immigrants who have been here for many years would be "very hard."

"I've had very strong people come up to me really great, great people come up to me and they've said, 'Mr. Trump, I love you, but to take a person who's been here for 15 or 20 years and throw them and their family out, it's so tough, Mr. Trump,'" he told Hannity. "I have it all the time. It's a very, very hard thing."

So here is Coulter, having just published a book making the case that we need Trump at this point in our history that there's only one thing he could do that would be a deal-breaker. And immediatelyhe does that thing.

We have yet to see how big a backlash there will be on the right against Trump's new immigration policy in large partbecause he hasn't laid it out in detail, and we're still left to parse exactly what his position is. But it's clear he's moving in a direction that folks like Coulter won't like. Coulter tried to play his comments offbefore Wednesday night, but now hehas apparently gone too far.

Let this be a reminder to anyonewho feels strongly about very conservative policy ideals: For Trump, self-described master negotiator, it appears just about everything is negotiable.

Ann Coulters Donald Trump hagiography was very poorly ...

AnnCoulters new book was just released and has likely already been rendered irrelevant before hitting most bookshelves nationwide.

In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!,is, no surprise, a full-throated endorsement of Trump, who the controversial conservative commentator says is the countrys last hope to preserve its culture and save the (white) working class.

In the book, Coulter, a longtime Trump booster, writes that theres nothing Trump can do that wont be forgiven. Except change his immigration policies.

But now that Trumpis finally revving up his long-awaited pivot to do just that, Coulter is freaking out.

With Trumps first hints of an evolution on his immigration positions, Coulter was quick to cover for him.

Its just rhetoric but its still annoying, Coulter told The Hill at her book signing Wednesdaynight. I think he panicked and he had to say [it] I dont think he is softening. I mean the big thing is the wall.

But then the second part of Trumps Fox News town hall special on immigration with Sean Hannity aired. In front of a friendly Texas crowd,Trump floated a possible process to allow undocumented immigrants to remain in America, a complete reversal from the inhumane mass deportation plan that helped him win the crowded GOP primary.

No citizenship, Trump told Hannity in the specialtaped Tuesday afternoon. Let me go a step further theyll pay back-taxes, they have to pay taxes, theres no amnesty, as such, theres no amnesty, but we work with them.

And has become customary, Trump attempted to sell his latest flip-flop as a routine reaction to his supporters wants.

Look, this is like a poll, theres thousands of people in this room, Trump said. Who wants those people thrown out?

The Fox News crowd responded with incoherent cheers and yells.

Everywhere I go, I get the same reaction. They want toughness, they want firmness, they want to obey the law. But but, they feel that throwing them out as a whole family when theyve been here for a long time, its a tough thing. They do feel that, Trump added.

That was the last straw for Coulter, who took to Twitter to blast Trumps creeping shift:

Welp.
