Ann Coulter is anti-Jew? Coulter, the conservative social and political commentator, trudged once again through a pile of ignominious fame by tweeting out an anti-Semitic take on the recent GOP debate. Coulter, a self-described polemicist who found a foothold bashing the Clinton administration in the 1990s, triggered swift condemnation with her tweets but also found some support from anti-Semites craving a pundit to give a sense of legitimacy to their prejudiced views, as reports The Daily Beast.

Writes Yahoo News on Sept. 17: Ann Coulter offered her typical blustery two cents about the GOP presidential debate on Thursday, going as far to call out candidates for playing to all the fu**ing Jews and generating an almost immediate social-media backlash.

Coulter trotted out some dog-whistling politics with her blustery commentary on the fact there was repeated discussion of support for Israel during the GOP debate.

How many f---ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States? Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015

Israeli media condemned Coulters remarks. Haaretz, a left-leaning news source, dubbed Coulters tweets as arguably anti-Semitic.

Controversial conservative pundit Ann Coulter posted a series of arguably anti-Semitic tweets at the tail end of Wednesday nights Republican debate, accusing the candidates of pandering to Jewish voters, including one posing the hypothetical question of: How many fing Jews do these people think there are in the United States? the site reported.

The Jerusalem Post weighed in with the same. Regarding Coulters anti-Semitism, the site wrote: Ann Coulter, a controversial conservative political commentator, posted a series of what could be viewed as anti-Semitic tweets during the Republican presidential national debate on Wednesday night.

I like the Jews, I like fetuses, I like Reagan. Didn't need to hear applause lines about them all night, Coulter tweeted. Cruz, Huckabee Rubio all mentioned ISRAEL in their response to: What will AMERICA look like after you are president.

Coulter, who once tweeted that immigrants should be feared more than ISIS terrorists, has attempted to backtrack somewhat, explaining that her initial tweet was not meant to be targeted anti-Semitism but rather a critique on the GOP as a whole for its same pandering on Reagan & abortion, she tweeted.

Later, she tweeted: Boy were they wrong @ Jewish influence! I complained about pandering on Israel (Reagan & abortion) & haven't heard a thing about it!

Her remarks did find a number of anti-Semites flocking to her support. Her tweet had been upped thousands of times, and the hashtag #IstandWithAnn began trending.

Adds the NY Daily News: Ann Coulter is being blasted as a bigoted idiot after she shocked social media users late Wednesday with a tweet that many are calling anti-Semitic. The rightwing pundit went on a Twitter tirade during the Republican presidential candidate debate, accusing participants of kowtowing to special interest.
