Conservative author Ann Coulter claimed on Tuesday that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) has a poor grasp on American history as “an immigrant,” even though Haley was born in the U.S.
During an appearance with Kennedy on Fox Business Network, Coulter said that the deadly shooting at a history black church in Charleston “had nothing to do with the Confederate flag.” And she lamented that that Americans do not understand the history of the Confederate flag.
She then said that many media outlets, such as MSNBC, got the flag’s history in South Carolina wrong, noting that the flag first went up at the capitol in 1962 under a Democratic governor and legislature to mark the 100th anniversary of the Civil War.
Coulter then took a shot at South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R), who on Monday called for the removal of the Confederate flag from the state capitol grounds.
“I’m appalled by –– though, I really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican. On the other hand, she is an immigrant and does not understand America’s history,” Coulter said.
“You think immigrants can’t understand the history?” Kennedy asked.
“Well, she doesn’t!” Coulter replied.
Haley was born in Bamberg, S.C., but her parents are Indian immigrants, according to the governor’s biography.

OK, so it first went up under a Democratic governor in 1962 to recognize the 100th anniversary of a rebellion against the United States. What does that have to do with taking it down today?
Coulter is arguing as if the GOP is under attack by demands that the flag come down, which puts her in a bad place. That means she is defending the connection between the Republican Party an armed, treasonous rebellion against the United States that she says she pledges her allegiance to.
So, Ann, does this mean that the GOP’s history is one of treason, armed insurrection and slavery?
So using this logic,winger Michelle Malkin knows nothing about America’s History even though she’s written upteen celebrated books about it?
All kidding aside, Coulter is earning her paycheck, nothing more.
Once again, Coulter shows her pathetic stripes in a crude attempt to remain relevant and continue to make money by being piggy.
… and Ann Coulter only understands her own fantasy version of American history.
And ‘Petulant Reptile’ Ann Coulter ‘does not understand human empathy’
