During the final lap of this election season, Ann Coulter’s particular brand of noise may have appeared to lessen, but that’s only because the rest of the world has gone bonkers too. In actuality, her unconditional Trump cheerleading has continued unabated, even in the face of recent blows, including being burned at Rob Lowe’s roast and getting mocked by Bill Maher for how she ignores reality. Well, Coulter wasn’t deterred at all. She simply saved up her energy to launch some final attacks before the big day.
Coulter spent the day of election eve issuing a “closing argument” for Trump’s candidacy to Sean Hannity. Among other doom and gloom utterances, Coulter declared that Hillary Clinton would spell, “The end of America, there is no point in caring about politics anymore. There’s no point to what you do, I do, Fox News, talk radio, the entire country becomes California.” She then spent the evening tweeting racially charged rhetoric. Coulter somehow topped herself with this one: “If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide.”
If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide.

Coulter’s wording may sound familiar to anyone who’s aware of the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany, which defined a Jew as “anyone who had three or four Jewish grandparents.” Yet Coulter “clarified” for anyone who didn’t understand how she was counting.
There's 8 great grandparents, 16 great-great grandparents, etc. https://t.co/cygzl8oHdB

Folks tried to tell Coulter that her requirements for voting would eliminate Trump himself from voting.

To these people, Coulter responded, “You are like ‘Politifact,’ citing irrelevancies as if they detract from blinding truth of my statement.”
So what? You are like "Politifact," citing irrelevancies as if they detract from blinding truth of my statement. https://t.co/8RHCSspnpa

Of course, people called Coulter out for “last minute coded white supremacist rhetoric” on the way to the polls.
Shout out to Ann Coulter for getting in that last minute coded white supremacist rhetoric, right before the election https://t.co/BbLMvLbJiR

Actually, Coulter probably wasn’t even speaking in a “coded” or accurate manner.
Was that coded? I thought using the Nazi standard for defining pure Germans was pretty blatant.

@AnnCoulter It doesn't even work. Almost every African American has 4 native-born grandparents. And they're voting Hillary.

You know who else was interested in tracing people's bloodlines to their grand-parents? https://t.co/kVa6vQ5s69

There were plenty of other retorts on the way too, though some people simply rolled their eyes at the trolling.
Guys I think Ann Coulter might be a racist.

3 out of 4 Donald Trump grandparents weren't born in America. Sexism is the only thing keeping Ann from being taken seriously as a fascist. https://t.co/odvwjmjGTp

In fairness to @AnnCoulter, she couldn't fit "whose consanguinity was closer than first cousin and also" between "grandparents" and "born." https://t.co/TkK0C32eNi

.@AnnCoulter if only people inside the Death Star were voting for Sith Lord, Darth Vader would win in a 50-Galaxy landslide #logic

Dear Ann- by this standard 4 out of 5 Trump kids couldn't vote.
Signed, the people who actually think shit through https://t.co/odvwjmjGTp— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) November 8, 2016
If Ann Coulter is here, who is guarding her bridge?

Of course, this would also disqualify Trump himself, whose grandparents were ALL born outside the USA… https://t.co/IIZsHLrPbP

But mostly, folks weren’t surprised. Coulter was simply trolling her way into Election Day. She may pull some maneuvers during the night’s coverage, which will be something to watch for.
