Coulter dares Schultz for an invite
Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is calling MSNBC host Ed Schultz a liar, challenging him to have her on his show.
The author and commentator tweeted her objection Wednesday night after Schultz commented on his show that Republicans dont want to engage with him.
Invite me on your show, you lying p. RT @Matthops82 Republicans are afraid of me. They dont want to talk to me. - @edshow, Coulter tweeted on Wednesday.
Schultz on his show Wednesday night was talking about the president seeking fast-track trade authority from Congress, arguing it would hurt workers. He said some Republicans were opposing the president on the issue.

Of course Republicans, theyre afraid of me. They dont want to talk to me, Schultz said as an aside. But whatever, Ill talk to them if they want to talk about it, because it is bad for workers.
After her tweet, Coulter elaborated in an email to Newsbusters that MSNBC hosts in general wont have her on their shows.
These MSNBC hosts like Rachel [Maddow] and Ed love posing as macho Republican-slayers, Coulter wrote, according to the conservative site. Ive been begging to come on their shows for years now, but theyre all apparently too afraid of a 99 lb girl. (Or any conservative who can put 2 sentences together.)
Schultz has famously called out Republicans for not engaging with him before, including a public, insult-filled back-and-forth with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Coulter worked for MSNBC in the 1990s but was fired.
