Over the years, right-wing nutjob columnist Ann Coulter has said some incredibly objectionable and downright racist things. But Monday evening she went on social media and outdid herself:
If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) November 8, 2016
There’s so much here to pick apart, but let’s start with this irrefutable fact: If this rule were in effect, Trump himself would not be able to vote. See, Donald’s mother and his grandparents were all immigrants. So Ann’s little Nazi-like racial purity test falls flat of its face right off the bat.
Others on Twitter also took Coulter to task for her ignorant posting:
But then Trump couldn't run, since his mom and paternal grandparents weren't born in the US. So, um, yeah. https://t.co/7Uxwnuqk0Q

@AnnCoulter Ann opens mouth, disappears into black hole created by the force of her stupidity. https://t.co/w781iODNlB

None of Trump's four grandparents were born in the US. Two in Germany, two in UK. A nation of immigrants!

Are there… are there people with more than 4 grandparents? https://t.co/5sou7XC2fQ

Ann Coulter's disgusting "four grandparents" reference recalls the Mischling Test, a Nazi way to identify "pure-blood" Germans versus Jews.

Hey. The Nazi's did this. Literally. It was called the #NurembergRaceLaws. You're a monster @AnnCoulter. https://t.co/1DOAOHNDSm

Clearly, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and the other asshats who think Trump is the savior of America don’t know a damn thing about history. They’re far too busy being consumed with hatred, fear, and loathing of anyone the least bit different than them. It’s going to be so much fun watching them whine and moan when the Orange Menace gets his ass beat tonight.
Oh, and here’s a voting rule we need to institute for Ann Coulter: People as moronic as her shouldn’t be allowed internet access.
