Ann Coulter calls immigrant children 'child actors'
The Hill ^ | June 18, 2018 | JACQUELINE THOMSEN

00:01 00:45 Conservative commentator Ann Coulter called children crying at the border after being separated from parents “child actors” during an appearance Sunday on Fox News.

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.

Jon Levine ✔ @LevineJonathan Ann Coulter on Fox News calls crying immigrant children "child actors" and looks directly into the camera to warn Trump not to fall for it.

Coulter referenced a story in The New Yorker in arguing that children filmed at the border are acting, saying it had described the children as being coached.

“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.”

It’s unclear what New Yorker article Coulter was referring to.

A New York Times report published last month cited officials saying that migrant children had been coached on what to say in order to be granted asylum, as a defense of the administration’s recently implemented zero-tolerance policy.

Leftists are in pure outrage mode (when are they not) over Ann Coulter's comments.

Deep down I don’t think I would like Ann Coulter. She does know that Epstein’s sex slaves were also coached? Does she want to disparage them, too? It’s like Ann is on the correct side of an issue but takes it so far as to appear really mean.

These media pile-ons disgust me. When they all band together one day/week to write a thousand articles each about one subject, and its negative tone is very palpable. As we saw with Donald Trump in October 2016 with the Access Hollywood tape thing, or the "Alt-Right" in August 2017. The cacophony of all their noise is really hard to break.

It's nice to dream that with the growth of the Internet their relevance is finally declining, but they still control what we discuss, and when we discuss it.

It’s so bad even Snopes has to admit these are hoaxes.

Trying to use Alinsky’s tactics back on them, I guess.

This has always been Ann's forte. It's her trademark, and it works.

You really expect to defeat the Left's arguments with boring counter-points and statistics? You defeat them with biting sarcasm, gallows humor, and pointing out their hypocrisy.

Sarah Palin - simply said "death panels" to describe Obamacare. Nearly killed it, compared to tons of articles written by pseudo-conservatives. Rush Limbaugh - "I hope he fails!" is another one.

When it comes to illegal aliens, Ann Coulter has been all over this topic, more so ever since her book Adios, America came out. She has been a one-note Annie on this topic, and she isn't backing down or pulling any punches. She doesn't fall for the sentimental "family values" stuff at all.

Personally I don't give a rat's a$$ about children being separated from their criminal parents invading our country. Boo friggin hoo. Not only should the parents be charged with border violations, but also child abuse and child endangerment and negligence.

Yes, I love Jonathan Swift style satire. But there is a little mean streak in Ann’s that seems more personal than the other people’s.

#3: "Does she want to disparage them, too?"

Ann is a lawyer. She argues her side of the issue. She is under no obligation to be "fair" to those she opposes. They can make their own case. Not her job.

All these people, including Laura Bush, do not give a flick about unborn legal American babies.

What a coincidence that this non-issue is getting volumes of inflated coverage just as the IG report is released and senate intelligence oversight hearings are being held to find out what the IG was smoking.

Of course the cartels are getting desperate
Using anything children whatever
While they can
Enforcement of law is beginning
The wall is next
Trump will not be a sissy pussy boy like ALL OF DC
ALL OF THEM. PRESENT AND PAST
