Appearing on radio host Lars Larson’s show earlier this week, Coulter was asked if Trump’s decision to utilize the military at the border was “a start in the right direction.”

“I don’t think so — what are they going to do, shoot the illegals?” Coulter exclaimed. “I mean, both Obama and Bush did this too. No, there’s a reason the chant was ‘we want a wall,’ we don’t want to use the military to process illegals and let them into the country.”

Larson pushed back a bit, stating that having troops patrolling the border would discourage people from crossing because it was would be a “visual deterrent.”

“I don’t know, we’ll see,” Coulter responded. “If I were an illegal —- I mean, unless they’re going to shoot one and send a message to the rest, as Voltaire’s line in Candide is, ‘We hang one to encourage the others’ — if you shoot one to encourage the others, maybe they’ll learn, but otherwise, we’ll see, we’ll see.”

Well, there you go.

1. America was invaded by Russia and Russian spies and sycophants were installed

I dont know why we are all just sitting here, myself included.

2. This comes as no surprise, of course.

Coulter's ignorance, stupidity, bigotry, and hate is typical of most on the right.

3. Ann Coulter often goes where she is not welcomed......

making such outlandish statements. Are her books no longer selling that she has to spew such garbage in order to get attention?

7. Sums up the whole bunch

8. She ruined her darling status on Fox as she ripped everyone who wasnt a total Trump cultist.

So she has not enjoyed the same level of publicity — now she’s using cheap inflammatory comments on Twitter and conservative radio so the press will mention her and idiots will buy her “books.”

Her comments about illegal immigrants have been consistently racist (imo) and totally narrow — for awhile the idea that terrorists were sneaking across only the southern border (eye roll) was used by Coulter and others to justify their hysteria. She’s dropped that now and just blurts out anything offensive to get attention.

4. She & Kevin Williamson want to kill people.

"Conservative" political thought is being established by death eaters.

5. "Pro-Life"....

6. But will it "scare" the "millions" who vote for Democrats illegally?

Its all BS coulter.

9. "We'll see."

Classic Trumpian failure to commit by a fake pundit desperate to sound mean enough for wingnuts to buy her ghost-written books.

10. Yeah right

And this is supposed to be a bigger threat than getting shot staying where they were? They're fleeing violence in their home country and I don't think the "visual deterrrent" is going to do more than draw a response of, "Same shit, different day different place."

It's been tried before in different places and the results have shown that the deterrent effect is pretty much nil.

11. Her funds must be running low.

That’ll be good for at least a year of paid University appearances, am I right?

12. The right-wing shock jock strikes again.

Can't be shown up by Fascist Barbie Tomi Lahren.
