"On The Kelly File last week, the 9 p.m. ET host increased her viewership in the 25-54 ratings from 400K to 458K... She was helped by an interview with Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and a spirited debate... [between] Geraldo Rivera and Ann Coulter, both of which took place last Tuesday."
""I think Trump is a clown," Coulter said... back in 2011...
Coulter also reportedly criticized Trump for his donations to Democratic political campaigns and his birtherism. "It’s all just a big act for the moment," she said.
Since then, Coulter’s tone has changed dramatically. "I really think he is magnificent,"..."
""You have to understand, screaming and defacing things is how Latin Americans express disagreement. At least as long as they were destroying books and screaming in a book store, they weren’t molesting any 4-year-olds.""...in response to protesters disrupting one of her recent book signings.
""This is just plain racism…In this case, [our opponents are] just right. Ann Coulter is being a stupid racist.""...and this...
""It’s time we realize that she’s crossed a line and the more attention we give her without denouncing her stupidity just hurts us all.”"
"First, let’s all realize that Ann Coulter is prone to making jokes and using hyperbole alongside her more important content. This is her way of making a point. Hyperbole and cutting remarks followed by her actual intended argument is one of her signatures. Yes, she’s a bomb-thrower. Like it or don’t like it, but understand it."
"...[W]hat Ann Coulter said was simply another rhetorical bomb, designed to get attention, and subsequently focus that attention on her main argument...
To call... what she said "racist," tells me that you’re not seeing the larger picture. You’re eschewing the context...
To say she "crossed a line" is about ten years too late. It’s what she does. I don’t always agree with Ann Coulter, but to cry racism in this instance is, to quote someone familiar, just stupid."
"This is just plain racism.
And I know what you’re feeling right now, it’s that twitch in your knee that wants to jerk to defend anyone assaulted by what we know is a news media with leftist sympathies. I have it too. But what should be stronger in all of us is the courage to uphold and defend the plain simple truth, even when it pains us to admit our opponents might be slightly right. Bastards that they are.
In this case, they’re just right. Ann Coulter is being a stupid racist." [Emphasis original.]
"It’s time we realize that she’s crossed a line and the more attention we give her without denouncing her stupidity just hurts us all."
@AnnCoulter great to meet you, and thank you for writing the book. Adios, Esteban pic.twitter.com/oU739zRfAl

"A flash mob congregates, drop banners and begin profanity-laced chants and tirades (plenty of children present):..."
"As people exited the store with signed books, the mob threw garbage and chanted at them profanely:
[video]
"Go back to Europe asshole"
"Fu*k you whitey""
"Kill Ann Coulter
ETC.
[Above punctuation is quoted exactly.]
Two protestors [sic] made it through tight security and nearly assaulted Ms. Coulter before bodyguards could subdue them and security removed from the event[.]"
"A pair of blog posts put out preposterous claims that Coulter originally planned a talk but chose a signing out of security fears. Protesters were also said to have tried to assault the author before being turned away. Another lie holds that the crowd spit at Coulter's fans when they exited the bookstore.
None of it is true.
Coulter told me that there was never any lecture planned--just the signing. And with all this supposed chaos, there would have been a couple arrests, no?"
""I thought you wanted a debate on immigration, Ann," I said while being led out."Yes, she does. There are two reasons she would not spontaneously debate Roman. First, when dozens of people are waiting in line to speak with Ann, she should not engage in a random debate with a random stranger. Second, what's the point of a debate if Roman (only one person) will benefit or learn anything from it? There is a point, but what does Roman do? Roman buys ¡Adios America!, but then lets the protesters tear it to pieces. That proves that Roman does not even care.
