Conservative columnist Ann Coulter is no stranger to controversy but her comments posted to social media during Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate have some accusing her of anti-Semitism.
During the debate, Coulter responded to candidates’ comments about Israel with the following: “How many fucking Jews do these people think there are in the United States?”
Throughout the debate, Coulter continued to comment on the focus on U.S./Israel relations.
Coulter continued her barrage throughout the debate, and then began defending her comments when she was questioned. She later added that her comments were “not about the Jewish people.”
“I like the Jews, I like fetuses, I like Reagan. Didn’t need to hear applause lines about them all night,” she tweeted. “Cruz, Huckabee Rubio all mentioned ISRAEL in their response to: ‘What will AMERICA look like after you are president.'”
The reaction to Coulter’s comments came in fast and furious.
Coulter’s comments were widely reported and criticized by Israeli media, as well as by the Christians United for Israel in the U.S.
“Ann Coulter’s tweets this evening concerning Israel were completely inappropriate,” spokesperson Ari Morgenstern said. “The US-Israel relationship is both a moral and strategic imperative. There are tens of millions of Christians in this country who stand with the Jewish state.”
