Ann Coulter and Iran’s Supreme Leader have so much in common.<\/p>\n
Arutz Sheva<\/a>:<\/p>\n Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter’s rant about “f—king Jews” was “misunderstood,” she claimed in a Daily Beast interview late Thursday, as she denied that the remarks reinforce anti-Semitic stereotypes. <\/p>\n “I think it was ripped out of context and lied about,” Coulter stated. “Anyone following any of the debate in America knew exactly what I was talking about\u2026 My tweet was about Republicans and the pandering. It wasn\u2019t about Israel, it wasn\u2019t about Jews. It\u2019s what Republicans are thinking in their little pea brains.”<\/p>\n Coulter then dug herself deeper, taking a shot at Evangelical Christians.<\/p>\n “I could say the same thing about Evangelicals,” she said. “Who are you pandering to? A lot of it is to Sheldon Adelson and the Evangelicals\u2026this kind of suck-uppery is humiliating.\u201d<\/p>\n “There is no doubt that the Republican Party is the party of Israel and of Life,” she added. “So why keep sucking up on Israel?\u201d <\/p>\n When asked whether her remarks could perpetuate the idea that Jews “run Hollywood” or the media, Coulter admitted: \u201cWell, this episode is not going a long way to disprove that.\u201d<\/p>\n Coulter then took cheap shots at Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, oddly choosing to link his policies with the US’s illegal immigration issues. <\/p>\n “I\u2019d like to move Israel to the northern border of Mexico, and see what happens then,” she said. “These Republicans say fences don\u2019t work – I\u2019d like to see some of them explain Netanyahu\u2019s policy on the fence.\u201d<\/p>\n Even before her attempted explanations, Coulter’s remarks sparked a stream of support from anti-Semites, including Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ann Coulter and Iran’s Supreme Leader have so much in common.
