Ann Coulter twits - "this is why our founders (not "immigrants"!) distrusted Catholics"

"I'm an American and this is why our founders (not "immigrants"!) distrusted Catholics & wouldn't make them citizens. "

"Catholics were not accepted until they became more AMERICAN Catholic less ROMAN Catholic-Harvard's Samuel Huntington"

Salon has the story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Carroll_of_Carrollton

Charles Carroll (September 19, 1737 – November 14, 1832), known as Charles Carroll of Carrollton or Charles Carroll III to distinguish him from his similarly named relatives, was a wealthy Maryland planter and an early advocate of independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. He served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and Confederation Congress and later as first United States Senator for Maryland. He was the only Catholic and the longest-lived (and last surviving) signatory of the Declaration of Independence, dying at the age of 95, at his city mansion (largest and most expensive in town) in Baltimore's neighborhood of Jonestown on East Lombard and South Front Streets, by the Jones Falls.

Her views are anti-American. Let's demand her birth certificate. why shouldn't she have to prove it?

She is one of the most anti-American persons I've ever encountered, she is so bad now that she hates everyone! Even her bitter GOP pals!

That is a lot of hate for just one person imo.

Coulter’s tweet was in response to one by fellow conservative commentator and Rush Limbaugh’s brother, David, chiding Pope Francis for speaking out against economic inequality:

When Coulter was hit with backlash linking her latest nativist screed with last week’s rant complaining of GOP presidential candidates pandering to “f—ing Jews,” she defended her anti-Catholic rant as “historical facts” — and said nothing of her gratuitous knock on immigrants.

Sounds like the anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant Know Nothings of the 19th century are making a comeback in the modern republican party.

You can count on Coultergeist to ramp up her controversial bullshit just before she has a new
book about to be released. Look for it soon on the clearance rack at your local Dollar Store.

that supported the American revolution due to the "Catholic" issue. As someone who grew up Catholic and was rejected in some social meetings in my native south, I understand the whole history of the US.

She's in full-on downward trajectory, plain for everyone to see. Fair recompense for all the hurt and damage she's caused, over the years.

Looking forward to Limbaugh doing the same thing.
