I’ve already gave you my opinion on the policy that separates children and parents at the border.

I’m absolutely against illegal immigration, but I’m more opposed to needless cruelty that scars children for life. Let the punishment fit the crime, and remember, the children did no wrong.

So while we watch this epic tragedy play out, we see that everyone has some sort of take. Some of those takes are just hot, while others are a hot mess.

And speaking of hot messes, we can’t let the conversation pass without considering Ann Coulter. She jumped the Trump train early, even writing a hatefully titled book, “In Trump We Trust.”

Since that time, watching the Coulter flameout on social media has been delicious. Donald Trump has not become the agent for change in the GOP, as she’d expected. Her daily posts, counting down another day without the promised border wall are the best.

Disgustingly, Coulter declared that she’d be fine with Donald Trump performing abortions in the White House, as long as he built the border wall. That’s unforgivable. When I also consider that Ann Coulter is someone I once held a lot of support for and enjoyed her work, it’s doubly depressing.

Apparently, things aren’t working out, so going low is all Coulter has left. While appearing on Fox News Sunday evening, she went after the stories of the children on the border and called them “child actors.”

Unbelievable.

Coulter also said President Trump should not fall for the “child actors” as he faces pressure to end his zero-tolerance policy at the border, which has resulted in parents being separated from their children so that they face immediate deportation.

“I would also say one other thing, these child actors weeping and crying on all the other networks 24/7 right now — do not fall for it, Mr. President,” Coulter said on “The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton.”

“I get very nervous about the president getting his news from TV,” she added.

Just to be clear, in case you missed it, she was on TV appealing to the president, while saying she got nervous about his getting his news from TV.

Somewhere along the way, she got the idea that The New Yorker had ran a piece that identified the crying children at the border as “actors.”

“A New Yorker article, The New Yorker is not a conservative publication, they describe how these kids, these kids are being coached,” she said. “They’re given scripts to read by liberals, according to The New Yorker. Don’t fall for the actor children.”

She’s ranting and popping off on twisted details, it appears.

Nobody knows what article from The New Yorker she’s talking about.

There was an item in The New York Times in May that described the coaching of migrant children by officials, in order to help them gain asylum and bypass the zero-tolerance policy.

Was that what she was referring to?

Who knows. She was on a tangent.

Ann Coulter is not a politician, but she is considered to be a mouthpiece for the Republican party and more specifically, the Trump regime. When she appears on television saying things that are so callous and nasty, it doesn’t simply stay with Coulter. It taints all the Republican pool, because her words and attitude will be used against other Republicans, and especially Republican politicians in the upcoming midterm election.

This is going to hit the party harder than anything else the Trump administration may do in the lead up to the election.

They’ve been warned repeatedly, so after this, they get what they ask for.
