Carly Fiorina may have won over a number of pundits following her breakout performance on the first Republican primary debate, but she gets no love from Ann Coulter.
In fact, Coulter doesn’t merely dislike the former Hewlett-Packard CEO and sole female voice in the GOP’s 2016 field of candidates.
Coulter “hates” Fiorina. Intensely.
Her admission came Tuesday during a radio interview with talk radio host Mike Gallagher.
Fiorina at first seemed like a good candidate, Coulter said during their discussion. But as of Monday, she has “turned against” Fiorina and now feels the “hot, hot hate of a thousand suns” for the 2016 GOP candidate.
“At first, I admit I was suspicious because I hate this, ‘Oh, a woman can talk, oh, that’s great!'” she said. “But I just hate this ‘Affirmative Action’ among Republicans.”
The about-face comes as a direct response to Fiorina saying this week that businessman and former reality TV star Donald Trump’s call to end birthright citizenship is “completely unrealistic.”
Coulter has made it no secret that she supports Trump’s candidacy. She has cheered the real estate mogul’s campaign from the start, even after he created a firestorm in June with his controversial comments on Mexican immigrants.
The Mexican government is “sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists,” he said during his campaign launch.
Coulter rushed to defend Trump’s remarks, taking it a step further in August by arguing that there’s a “cultural acceptance of child rape in Latino culture.”
“How many fourth-generation American father-son child-rape duos do we have? How many American brother-sister teams are conspiring in child rape and murder? How many mothers are helping their boyfriends and husbands get away with raping their own children?” Coulter asked. “And how many 12-year-old American girls are giving birth — to the delight of their parents?”
Her claim that the whole of Latino culture is accepting of child rape is based on seven examples.
A spokeswoman with the Fiorina campaign did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.
