BIGOTRY
Ann Coulter’s Racist Attack on Democrats Draws Outrage – and Calls for Boycott of Fox News Advertisers

Many on the left believe Ann Coulter has become irrelevant, but she still holds sway on the right. The 57-year old may have morphed from conservative pundit to far right wing extremist, but she still has the ability to draw crowds. Coulter has 2.1 million followers on Twitter, over 675,000 followers on Facebook, and is a New York Times bestselling author. And she still influences voters, especially when she goes on Fox News.
Some on the left would like that to stop, given her latest racist diatribe, which is drawing outrage.
Tuesday night on Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle,” hosted by another extremist, Laura Ingraham, Coulter unleashed what some see as racism and bigotry so extreme it must be countered.
And they’re calling for a boycott of Fox News’ advertisers to get her off the air.
What exactly ignited this outrage?
Speaking about Democratic voters Tuesday night, Coulter insisted they all hate each other.
She says the Democratic Party is comprised of various groups and factions (something Democrats call diversity that looks like America.) But Coulter thinks each group is separate unto itself, and they are united only by one thing: hatred of white men.
(There actually are white men in the Democratic Party, so her theory can’t even stand on its own legs.)
Here’s how Coulter explained how she sees the Democratic Party.
“I think we’re going to be seeing a lot of these disputes in the Democratic Party base, because they all hate one another,” she said on Fox News.
On Ingraham’s Fox News show, Ann Coulter describes her version of the Dem party
“I mean you have the Muslims and the Jews and the various exotic sexual groups and the black church ladies with the college queers … you must hate white men. It’s the one thing they have in common” pic.twitter.com/xGWe0wH2uP

“I mean you have the Muslims and the Jews and the various exotic sexual groups and the black church ladies with the college queers. The only thing that keeps this, the Democratic base together is for them to keep focusing on, you know, ‘White men are the ones keeping you down. You must hate white men.’ It’s the one thing they have in common,” she claimed.
Her premise is wholly false – not to mention dripping with racism, hate, and bigotry.
Here’s how some are responding:
Sponsors of Fox are supporting racism. There’s no denying it. It happens all the time. Boycott Fox advertisers. https://t.co/QWsg7hMSYa

The racism runs deep. But I am curious how all the corporations who advertise on @foxnews can tout their diversity and inclusion strategies—and support this overt racist and bigoted content. https://t.co/NuhkOADukO

#FoxNews the media of lies! Ann Coulter is saying lies! Democrats are an inclusive party BECAUSE it’s represents our USA in 2018. Citizens DESERVE to be represented. Corporations, companies, any sponsor–why do you support #FoxNews? https://t.co/IPAvZWKt3I

Actually, @AnnCoulter, I’m a gun-owning white man who was born and raised in the rural south before spending 25 years serving in the military and I’d rather stand with Muslims, Jews and African-American church ladies than with you and your Russian, rubes and racist comrades. https://t.co/d8pGRFTnVu

Could @FoxNews and @IngrahamAngle promote racism and such disgusting lies, any more?! Giving Coulter the platform to spew such hate, is why foxnews and Ingraham have long since lost any integrity while promoting such hate https://t.co/mhb2zWRCUF
