Right-wing provocateur Ann Coulter attacked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Monday after Gingrich advised the President not to listen to Coulter and said she was preventing Trump from making progress on immigration legislation.
“He should not pay any attention to Ann Counter,” Gingrich told “Fox and Friends” Monday morning, after co-host Brian Kilmeade mentioned that Trump was worried about losing the support of “extreme conservatives, the Ann Coulters of the world.”
“Ann Coulter’s never run for office,” Gingrich continued. “She doesn’t know anything about how you put a majority together. She’s off here on some fantasyland where she gets to be noisy, which helps her sell books.”

Coulter has harshly criticized Trump for agreeing to temporarily reopen government without funds for his desired border wall, a retreat by the President that ended the record-breaking partial government shutdown more than a month after its start.
“Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush,” read one representative tweet from Coulter aimed at Trump. “As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.”
She responded similarly to Gingrich on Monday.
Newt Gingrich claims I'm in "fantasyland" for criticizing the president for breaking his central campaign promise. It has now come to my attention that Trump HAS built the full border wall & it's working BEAUTIFULLY. That is why Trump is sailing to re-election!

Newt’s right — I’m just selling books. But at least I don’t have to kiss Trump’s ass to do so.

RIDDLE OF THE DAY: How do you break Newt Gingrich’s nose? (ANSWER: Kick Donald Trump in the ass.)

Poor Newt. At least Rudy got a job.

To those who would attack Newt, please remember that just as collusion is not a crime, kissing the emperor’s ass violates no federal law.

Newt seems to believe that you have to run for office to comment on public affairs. The constitution doesn’t just give free speech to disgraced politicians. It also affords speech rights to another category called “citizens.”

The great thing about Newt is, you can always count on him to tell truth to power.

Trump voters have fallen into 2 factions: The Tell the Truth faction and the Kiss the Emperor’s Ass camp. Newt and I have picked different camps.

LITTLE-KNOWN LITERARY FACT: "The Emperor’s New Clothes" had to be edited for space. Lost was the scene where court haberdasher Newt Gingrich said, “Sir, you look splendid!"
