Ann Coulter’s acceptance of Paul Ryans Challenge

In 2013, Paul Ryandeclared, Iwill debate anybody who tries to suggest that these ideas that are moving through Congress [the Gang of Eight plan] are amnesty. That pledge is still featured on hiswebsiteto this day.

Youve got to get a call into his office and tell him Ill debate him, Coulter told Howie Carr. Seriously, put in a call to his office. Well do it on your radio [show].

Coulter suggested she wouldnt have a hard time taking on Ryan.Did anybody else see his debate with Biden? sheasked.

Indeed, Paul Ryan became the subject of ridicule after his 2012 Vice Presidential debate with Joe Biden. AsThe Guardianwroteatthe time, Joe Bidens alpha-male display leaves Paul Ryan overwhelmed in VP debateOn more than one occasion, the Republican candidate visibly gulped.

Coulter suggested that Paul Ryans visible anxiety throughout his performance should disqualify him fromrunning for Speaker of the House. If youre losing a debate to Joe Biden, maybe you are not [the Republican Partys] best spokesman, shedeclared.

Coulter said that Ryan is not the only intellectual lightweight in the Republican Party. Sheargued that many Republican establishment pro-amnesty lawmakers are notparticularlyintelligent but have seen their careers propelled forward by media elites. Coulter cited Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as examples.

[Kevin McCarthy is] a complete abject moron. Have you heard him talk? And what Ive noticed about our guys is that we do have a lot of smart guys. They all happen to be the ones that dont want the Republican party to commit suicide by continuing our current immigration policies. I mean, its [smart] guys [like] Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA). We have some smart guys and theyre the ones that were opposing Kevin McCarthy for perfectly sound policy reasons. I hate this stuff about the shut down caucus, and the Freedom Caucus no, the issue is immigration. This is the litmus test And the smart ones are all on the anti-immigration side, the stupid onesbeing promoted by the media because thats their left wing, anti-American agendaare the stupid ones they can push around like Kevin McCarthy, like Marco Rubio If theyre dumb, theyre pro-amnesty, theyre beloved by the media, so they get pushed forward, Oh, theyre the Young Guns and look at these smart guys. Why, gosh were so afraid for Democrats. They want to tinker with social security, but theyll pass amnesty and then the entire country is finished.

Kevin McCarthy is massively pro-amnesty, Coulter declared. Hes another one, like Marco Rubio, who went to some bush-league college on a football scholarship. We have really smart guys in our caucus: how about Dave [Brat] for Republican House leadership, sheasked.

Brat, who rose to national prominence after defeating former Majority Leader Eric Cantor, got his B.A. in Business, his Masters Degree in Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and his Ph.D in economics from American University. He served as an economic consultant for the World Bank and was a professor of economics for 18 years.

Paul Ryan got a degree in economics and political science from Miami University in Ohio before immediately beginning his lifelong career in politics.

All of these young conservatives have been so promoted by the media, Coulter said. Kevin McCarthy, Eric Cantor, Paul RyanOh, the Young Guns. Theyre ridiculous. Theyre all pro-amnesty, theyre pro-mass immigration, and their big claim to fame is, Oh, were going to tinker around with some entitlement programs. Oh yeah, thats the road to victories, Republicans [Mickey Kauss] idea was, could someone introduce Paul Ryan to Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC)?.

Coulter continued to highlight the similarities between Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. Carr cited a 2013piecefrom theNational Reviewwhich read, Ryan was a protg of strategist Cesar Conda Ryans ties to the pro-immigration mafia ran deep.'

Coulter told Carr that Rubio relies on the same pro-amnesty strategists as well. And now [Condas] ruining Marco Rubios career, shesaid. Conda was Rubiosformer Senate chief of staffand now serves as an adviser to Rubio. Mimicking an imagined exchange of Conda advising Rubio, Coulter continued, Oh, amnesty, the voters will love you, [Rubio]. Youll have this great op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.'

Whit Ayres, a master strategist of the plan to disenfranchise Republicanvoters through immigration, has been effusive about both politicians ability to deliver for donors.Ayres isRubios top presidential campaign pollster. He has made a living, in part, by demanding that the Republican Partypass large-scale immigration expansion bills favoredby Republican donorssuch asthe Gang of Eight billor, as TheWashington Postwrites,Ayreshasurg[ed] the GOP to adapt to the countrys rapidly changing demographics or risk irrelevancy within a few political cycles.Ayres also speaks highly of Paul Ryan,describinghim as one of the most effective messengers the Republican party has in the House If Paul Ryan talks, the House Republicans will listen.

The U.S. foreign-born population is currently at a record high of 42 million people.The Ayres-Rubio-Ryan strategy of increasing immigration at a time of record highs is aradicalbreak from past U.S. immigration policy.After the foreign-born share of population reached its last peak during the early part of the 20thcentury, immigration was reduced for nearly five straight decades to successfully assimilate past arrivals and grow wages.

Those immigration curbs were reversed, however, in 1965 because of a Sen. Ted Kennedy-supported immigration law whichlifted those immigration caps and opened immigration to predominantly poor and developing countries.AsBreitbart Newshas previouslyreported,between 1965 and 2015, immigration added new residents to the population at a one-to-one ratio withnet births to the preexisting population.But a recent study by Pew projects that unless our currentimmigration policy is changed, between 2015and 2065, immigration will outpace net U.S. births ata ratio of seven-to-one.

Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan would like the number of immigrants admitted to be even greater.Rubios immigration billwould have imported 7 times more green cards in the first decade of its implementation than did Ted Kennedys immigration bill in its first decade.
