Ann Coulter Isn’t Sorry for Joking About Meghan McCain Murder
Ann Coulter is in trouble for something she said. Nothing new, right?
Well, Coulter may have taken it too far when she made a joke about murdering Meghan McCain. The daughter of U.S. senator John McCain and Cindy Hensley McCain wasn’t impressed with Coulter’s controversial statement.
In a now-deleted blog post from Fox, Coulter writes, “MSNBC’s Martin Bashir suggested that Republican senators need to have a member of their families killed for them to support the Democrats’ gun proposals. (Let’s start with Meghan McCain!).”
Really, Coulter? It’s obvious Bashir was making a rhetorical statement about gun control.
“But Congressman,” Bashir said to Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, “is that what needs to happen to move these senators to stop threatening a filibuster? Is that really what needs to happen? That you need to have a member of your family killed in order for you to do what the American people want you to do?”
Coulter says she was only joking about murdering Megan McCain, and she isn’t sorry for what she said.
“I was making a joke,” Coulter said to Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “For one thing … that heinous thing Martin Bashir said, nobody knew about that until I added a joke, which is known as hyperbole.”
Heinous? Really? It looks like her murder joke isn’t the only hyperbolic statement she’s made this week. Saying provocative things is Coulter’s schtick, right? But did she take it too far this time?
