Coulter lashes out at Gingrich: ‘At least I don’t have to kiss Trump’s a**’

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter lashed out at former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Monday after he suggested that President Trump should ignore her criticism over border wall funding, reports The Hill.

Gingrich gave that advice on ‘Fox & Friends’: “He should not pay any attention to Ann Coulter. Ann Coulter’s never run for office. She doesn’t know anything about how you put a majority together. She’s off here in some fantasy land where she gets to be noisy, which helps her sell books.”

Coulter fired back via Twitter writing: “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 a** to do so,” she further noted.

“Trump voters have fallen into 2 factions: The Tell the Truth faction and the Kiss the Emperor’s A** camp. Newt and I have picked different camps,” Coulter also wrote.

Notably, Trump ended up agreeing to end the partial government shutdown in a short-term spending deal which didn’t include $5.7 billion for his border wall.

As such, the president is widely perceived to have given in to the stalemate without getting much in return—a decision which has sparked criticism from many prominent conservatives.

In a tweet after Trump’s Friday announcement, Coulter wrote: “Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.”
