I have no illusions about Ann Coulter. I consider her to be a hateful, poorly informed priestess of hatred and bigotry who would be better off if shipped to a deserted island so we would not longer have to read or hear her hateful pronouncements. But I have to admit that what she just said about 2016 GOP contender Marco Rubio actually took me by surprise.
At a CNN town hall earlier this week, Rubio was asked about police and minority communities. Rubio replied that he believed most police officers do the right thing, but he added there are indeed communities where minorities and cops have a “terrible relationship.”
Yet those few comments from Rubio, as well as his saying that he too had felt “the sting of racism” prompted Coulter to start a social media firebombing campaign against the Florida Senator:
Poor Jeb! can't figure out why Haley endorsed Rubio over him. He's one of those awful white men! Live by "diversity," die by "diversity."

On CNN townhall, Rubio claims he's been the victim of "racism" in the U.S. then talks about the blemishes on "our" country.

Rubio supports Black Lives Matter at SC townhall after Q from pajama boy, then they both go to a foam party – https://t.co/GP7BCE6IVU

From there, Coulter then tried to question Rubio’s sexual orientation, which is a bit odd coming from a woman with an Adam’s apple bigger than a bowling ball:
The only law enforcement officers Rubio likes are in the Village People. – https://t.co/GP7BCE6IVU

Then she moved back into her usual racist, xenophobic turd droppings:
Rubio's "improvement" 4 U.S.: Indian & Af-Am endorse a Cuban! Replace ALL whites w/ immigts & it'll be EVEN BETTER! https://t.co/GP7BCE6IVU

No, they’re committing suicide because they cannot believe there are such incredibly self-absorbed, hate-filled people as you still walking the earth, Ann.
A Twitter user accused Coulter of being a white supremacist (I can certainly understand why one might make that accusation), and Coulter replied:
"Diversity" = nonwhite; "White supremacist" = Not anti-white. https://t.co/baZl6rb8Ey

Rubio says US is better bc we have more Cubans & Indians. I didn't say U.S. is better w more whites. Who's racist? https://t.co/baZl6rb8Ey

What I wonder is this: When the GOP loses yet another race for the White House, where does Ann think she’s going to live? She says she doesn’t feel safe in the United States because there are too many immigrants, so how soon will she be booking passage to someplace she will feel secure? I hear Antarctica is lovely this time of year, Ann.
