Conservative author Ann Coulter claimed on Tuesday that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) has a poor grasp on American history as "an immigrant," even though Haley was born in the U.S.

During an appearance with Kennedy on Fox Business Network, Coulter said that the deadly shooting at a history black church in Charleston "had nothing to do with the Confederate flag." And she lamented that that Americans do not understand the history of the Confederate flag.

She then said that many media outlets, such as MSNBC, got the flag's history in South Carolina wrong, noting that the flag first went up at the capitol in 1962 under a Democratic governor and legislature to mark the 100th anniversary of the Civil War....

"I’m appalled by –– though, I really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican. On the other hand, she is an immigrant and does not understand America’s history," Coulter said.

Ted Cruz could not be reached for comment.

1. Wonder how she'll feel about Jindahl's announcement

I'm sure we can take a guess

9. "What are you doing here? I didn't call the IT department"

[treestar]

2. What an asshole.

A person born in the US is not an "immigrant."

3. So's your mama or papa or grandma or grandpa

4. Well, I don't think Mrs Haley is an *American* Indian...

... so I guess she is an immigrant. Ooops, so is Ann Coulter.

I suppose Bobby Jindal also had no comment.

5. Me too, Annie

One side of my family came here from Norway in the 1840s. The other side came from Wales and Ireland before there was a United States of America. How about you, Annie? Where are you from?

[vankuria]

6. She was sent from hell

[Panich52]

10. What I was thinking. Anyone seen Annie-get-your-gun's birth certificate, or that of her parents?

I'm oart of my family's 13th generation on this continent. But I know full well I'm not a 'First American' even if my family was only 20 yrs behind immigrant Pilgrims.

7. Ann Coulter has a bad habit of talking

with her mouth open.

8. To be fair to Ann...

She really doesn't ever know what she is talking about

[hobbit709]

13. She opens her mouth whenever she wants attention.

The usual result is that she keeps swapping feet.

11. What news does a 'business network' have to do with Coulter or the Confederacy?

Roger Ailes sure loves his NAZIs!

12. Will someone ever hold these garbage punidts accountable for their words?

Anyone?
