Ann Coulter Finally Comes Clean to Bill Maher on Trump: 'I'm a Very Stupid Girl'


The far-right pundit appeared on Maher’s HBO program ‘Real Time’ Friday night and admitted that she was very wrong about President Trump.

Introducing her as “my good frenemy,” Bill Maher welcomed far-right pundit—and outspoken racist—Ann Coulter to his Real Time program Friday night. And the timing, at least as far as Maher is concerned, couldn’t have been any better, given that Coulter had not only advised President Trump to shut down the government in order to fund his border wall pet project but called him out when he caved, branding her former idol “the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.”

For the viewers at home, however, it wasn’t so great.



Coulter began by railing against Trump breaking “the promise he made every day for 18 months” and when sarcastically queried by Maher as to what “her first clue” was that Trump was “a lying conman,” she laughed.

“OK, I’m a very stupid girl, fine,” Coulter conceded. She then proceeded to blame immigration from the southern border on “employers.”

“The Koch brothers—they want it. Rupert Murdoch wants it… Why hasn’t Trump been able to get it through for the first two years? Because the Republicans don’t want it,” she continued, rambling incoherently. “It’s all of mass immigration, it’s our legal immigration, it’s no E-Verify. The wall is a big part of that, and you’re being played to have everyone keep acting like this is some racist thing.”

And you might have known that if you'd been paying attention instead of writing In Trump We Trust.

However, on the bright side, Ann confirmed what we already know - trump* is a useful idiot. Useful for people like her, and people like Putin.

Why does he give her a national platform to spew her venom? Just because she's "in the news" does not make her newsworthy (as he suggests). He only continues to diminish himself and my opinion of him continues to sink lower and lower.

... and when Milo was arguing IN FAVOR of laws that force transgender citizens to use public restrooms according to their birth gender, Bill just caved and conceded "well, you've got a point there".

Bill Maher may donate to Democrats when it suits HIS purposes (for show, for boasting and bragging rights, to try and build his street-cred) but he's no friend of Democrats or of the Democratic party.

Other than that, I'm sure he's a nice guy.
