Last night's Republican debate on CNN seems to be grabbing headlines left and right today – largely because of a certain orange-y billionaire (Donald Trump) – but what's also gaining attention is a tweet from right-winger Ann Coulter. The oh-so-outspoken personality made a comment regarding Jewish people on Twitter that left a bad taste on the mouths of quite a few people.
Salon.com called Coulter's tweet, in which she asked the American people how many "f*cking Jews" the Republican candidates think are in the United States, a harsh criticism of the GOP candidates. And, well, an "ugly rant."
Her comment came after she mentioned that Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Mike Huckabee all mention Israel to the question, "What will American look like after you are president?"
How many f---ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?

She further questioned that perhaps the responses were merely done so in order to "suck up to the Evangelicals" of the country.
How to get applause from GOP donors: 1) Pledge to start a war 2) Talk about job creators 3) Denounce abortion 4) Cite Reagan 5) Cite Israel. — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
Despite the naysayers and haters online, Coulter remained solid in her opinion that what she was saying was not anti-Semitic.
No: It's pro-Semitic. Where is all the GOP pandering on Israel getting us? US becoming Mexico very bad for Israel. https://t.co/fj2OMOzXCk — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
In the end, as usual with politics, everyone on both sides went their own way, with several people saying Coulter's comments were either "stupid" or "anti-Semitic." To that, she claims that if people disagreed, then they were not watching the same debate.
Then you didn't see the debate. https://t.co/W4Zess7pwl — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
