In aNY Mag piece published a few days ago, the publication broke down the rise, fall, and subsequent rise of Steve Bannon. And while the story mainly focuses on how Bannon has influenced President Donald Trump to approach controversy with stubborn defiance, it also provides a lot of information about the behind-the-scenes power dynamics. But perhaps one of the most telling parts was that in the summer of 2015 before Bannon had joined the Trump presidential campaign in an official capacity Bannon called on Ann Coulter and Sam Nunberg to quickly write a white paper on Trumps immigration policies.

At the time, Coulter who vilifies the immigrant community regularly tweeted a link and called it the greatest political document since the Magna Carta. She didnt reveal that she had in a hand in drafting the document, which is important, because the language employed not only helped Trump gain further support, it also informed current policies. According to the Daily Beast, this doc marked the first time that Trumps team turned its hateful rhetoric into an anti-immigration plan.

As The New York Times reported back in August 2015, the paper which is no longer available on Trumps website had three positions. The first stated that a nation without borders is not a nation, and the paper once again asserted Trumps commitment to building a wall between Mexico and the United States. The second principle called for eliminating tax credit payments to illegal immigrants and to give more power to the enforcement arm of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency. The last stated that any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages, and security for all Americans.

The rest of the document proposed ending birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and making H-1B visas more selective by raising the minimum wage.

Since co-authoring the doc, Coulter has continued to spew hate about immigrants. In the meantime, the words shehelped write still have an impact on the ways in which the Trump Administration is attempting to hurt the immigrant community.

Excerpt from:
Ann Coulter Co-Wrote the Trump Campaign's Trash Immigration Plan - Remezcla (blog)

Tuesday on Fox Business Networks Varney & Company, conservative columnist Ann Coulter said Republicans on Capitol Hill were slow-walking President Donald Trumps agenda.

She went on to add that they hate Trump every bit as much as MSNBC does.

Coulter said, I do think were getting a little Republican obstructionism with Trump as well. Come on. It takes 51 votes to confirm a nominee, so they put in, what, these blue slips and say, no Im holding. A one-person filibuster? No. McConnell should say youve taken this too far. Were not going to let you put in your blue slips or yellow slips or whatever they call them and have one person stop a nominee. In one case, Thom Tillis, he is going precisely against the Trump agenda. He refuses to confirm the head of the Immigration Service unless he can get a bunch more cheap foreign workers for the Chamber of Commerce.

She continued, McConnell could do something, and also I think some of these Republicans like Tillis ought to be called out.

Coulter added, A lot of them really, really hate Trump every bit as much as MSNBC does and theyre slow-walking everything, and they are not helping him.

Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter on Fox News Varney & Co. (screen grab)

Fox News host Stuart Varney got a lecture about Republican Obstructionism in the US Senate when he had Ann Coulter on to talk about Trumps lack of legislative success.

I do think were getting a little Republican obstructionism with Trump as well, complained Coulter, who authored a book titled, In Trump We Trust.

Coulter suggested the Republican Congress has culpability for Trumps lack of success on Capitol Hill.

In one case, Thom Tillis, hes going precisely against the Trump agenda, Coulter stated, singling out the Republican senator from North Carolina.

Senator Tillis, refuses to confirm the head of the immigration service unless he can get a bunch more cheap foreign workers for the Chamber of Commerce, Coulter surmised.

Coulter also blamed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and the Republican caucus.

A lot of them really, really hate Trump every bit as much as MSNBC does, Coulter claimed. Theyre slow-walking everything and theyre not helping him.

In the case of health care reform, theyre all action and no talk. Where are the hearings? Coulter wondered.

Ann Coulter rips Republicans for not giving Trump what he wants; They 'hate him as much as MSNBC does' - Raw Story

On Sunday night, New York magazine reported that in the summer of 2015 Steve Bannon orchestrated the writing of an immigration-policy white paper for a nascent Donald Trump campaign, incorporating contributions from fired Trump aide Sam Nunberg and right-wing pundit Ann Coulter. (At the time, Bannon was not officially part of the Trump campaignwhich was then managed by Corey Lewandowskibut stayed in close contact as a chief media ally and as The Daily Beast reported late last year privately joked in emails that he was Trumps campaign manager.) The policy paper made big headlines in 2015 as the first signs of an actual, hardline-nationalist immigration plan from Trump. When Team Trump released it, Coulterwho did not publicly acknowledge a roletweeted it was the greatest political document since the Magna Carta.

Two Trump advisers with direct knowledge of the subject told The Daily Beast on Monday that Stephen Miller, now President Trumps senior advisor for policy, also contributed notes that Bannon then incorporated that summer into a finished product. (This was also before Miller was officially aboard the campaign.) One source said that "Steve [Bannon] took upon himself because he didn't want the campaign to fall apart" to edit together the project because the campaign was still a skeleton at the time and it didn't really have people to do policy stuff.

This weak attempt by the University of California, Berkeley to brush off their egregious free speech violations is staggering

Young Americans for Freedom and the College Republicans sued Berkeley after Ann Coulters speech was cancelled a few months ago but the school doesnt want to hear it.

The Daily Caller reports:

UC Berkeley Tries To Dismiss Free Speech Lawsuit

The University of California, Berkeley is trying to dismiss a free speech lawsuit filed following the cancelation of Ann Coulters speech at the school in April.

UC Berkeley attorneys including Janet Napolitano, system president of the University of California, and Nicholas Dirks, chancellor of UC Berkeley insist the claims made by Young Americas Foundation (YAF) and the Berkeley College Republicans are moot, according to a court document obtained by Campus Reform Friday.

The alleged restrictions were viewpoint neutral because they were not motivated by disagreement with the speakers viewpoint, said the attorneys.

The attorneys assert that the cancelation Coulters speech had nothing to do with the authors political views, arguing that there were instead constitutional time, place, and, manner regulations which restricted the her speech.

This weak attempt by the University of California, Berkeley to brush off their egregious free speech violations is staggering but unfortunately unsurprising given their demonstrated pattern of suppressing the First Amendment rights of conservatives on campus, said Spencer Brown, spokesman for Young Americas Foundation. As Young Americas Foundation has done throughout the last half-century, YAF will continue to stand up for students rights when their own schools engage in flagrant obstruction of free expression.
