Ann Coulter, author of “Adios America”, who describes herself as “an eleven-time New York Times bestselling author, gun-clinger and right-wing polemicist” has been accused of antisemitism following a string of tweets during yesterday’s Republican presidential candidate debate.
Accusing the candidates of pandering to “f—ing Jews” Coulter tweeted:
Cruz, Huckabee Rubio all mentioned ISRAEL in their response to: "What will AMERICA look like after you are president."

How many f—ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?

Maybe it's to suck up to the Evangelicals.

@AnnCoulter Wow really? Don't you think you could have phrased this without sounding so anti semitic? #classless

@AnnCoulter What kind of jackassery, anti-Semitic Tweet is this? Totally gratuitous. Despicable.

Coulter responded to critics on Twitter:
It's not about Jewish people; it's about Republican panderers. https://t.co/OmOL2B9K0E

It has to be read w/ prior tweet. Only 140 characters so sometimes they continue. Not @ Jews; about GOP pandering. https://t.co/WdnG1Y2QMp
