John Kelly blisters Ann Coulter

[queentonic]

Coulter has obviously never been in combat. Only a stupid fool would make light of a red alert intended to save lives. She and Limbaugh should be charged for criminal behavior the same as someone yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. This is not about free speech. It's about being stupid and insensitive.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly blisters Ann Coulter for joking about Hurricane Irma victims dying

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly took an out of character shot at conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Sunday for joking about the victims of Hurricane Irma.

The former general called Coulter out after she all-cap tweeted: “HURRICANE UPDATE FROM MIAMI: LIGHT RAIN; RESIDENTS AT RISK OF DYING FROM BOREDOM.”

Coulter’s tweet — which disregarded four deaths already attributed to Irma — irked Kelly who fired back, “Hard to understand the point of making light of honest attempts to warn people of danger.”

Kelly who reportedly is slowing Trump down from tweeting indiscriminately was congratulated for calling the conservative demagogue out, with one Twitter user pointing out that Coulter owns a home in Palm Beach, writing: “Coulter needs a reality check. She’ll be the first one applying for disaster relief. Maybe you can draft her and give her a dose or reality.”

Coulter seemed to not get the point, later tweeting: “I wish cables would mention the hurricane. There is a decidedly heavier-than-average morning dew in Miami; Palm Beach bordering on breezy.”

1. "LOOK AT ME ".

[cyclonefence]

3. You're exactly right

What would happen if we didn't rise to her bait? Does she have an actual following, the way Limbaugh does? I have a feeling that if we stopped feeding this troll, she'd go away.

[Egnever]

6. Millions of trolls on the internet

Yet some how her trolling is special.

[cyclonefence]

31. Well, she may be more shameless

and the fact that she's blonde and thin probably keeps a certain faction of (cough men) the population from dismissing her.

[Hortensis]

8. Absolutely. But John Kelly's voice should count for something more.

Many millions of conservatives out there are now clinging to the hope that people like him will somehow make it come right.

[Initech]

2. Republicans are out to prove they have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

They're horrible people and they're damn proud of it.

[Hortensis]

9. A giant generalization so simply not true that it would be worthy of a Coulter follower,

and I know you can't intend that.

[Initech]

10. Are there any decent republicans out there? I would like to know!

[Hortensis]

12. "There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats." Ann Coulter

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. More or less decent. It is a matter of degree rather than binary thinking. . . . nt

[sharedvalues]

27. Not that are still Republicans today. Richard Painter?

[Boomerproud]

4. She lives to be a provocatuer. A very sad, bitter, alone woman.

I don't even feel sorry for her if she loses all her black cocktail mini dresses.

[wolfie001]

20. She used to push family values topics

Not so much anymore as she never had a family herself. She was always obsessing about how others lived. Sick woman.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Here idiotic way of saying "see, told you there is no such thing as climate change"

[Saboburns]

33. plus a shot at 'the mainstream media'

Think of it, Republicans have convinced 40% of Americans that 'the media' is to blame for our problems.

It will be generations, if ever, to overcome the fascists here. I despair that it will take much bloodshed. I wish I saw it differently.

[HipChick]

7. Good for Kelly

[JDC]

11. Karma has a way of circling back.

I am confident that at some point Coulter will reap what she sows. Bitter, angry, lonely, and pathetic.

I'm guessing that the people on the other side of the state feel less "vindicated"

[calimary]

19. With all my heart I hope you're right.

She can start burning in Hell right now, for all I care. Hope she takes limbaugh with her.

[ClusterFreak]

13. You gotta wonder what makes a person like this tick.

I mean what sort of charge does she get out of making such ridiculous and wildly insensitive comments? Her point might be that the eastern coast of Florida isn't getting hit as hard as the west... but, so what? So the fuck what?

I guess when your soul is so hollowed out and barren, you take your pleasure in mocking and belittling the plight of others.

As Trump might Tweet.... "Sad!"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. She gets paid for running her mouth. She has no insights so she has to disturb shit. . . nt

[sharedvalues]

26. $$$$$$$ is what makes her say that.

She's clickservative grifter.

[struggle4progress]

14. "Since we aren't doing squat here in the Oval Office, let's point out the Arse Trombone section!"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. The real shame is...

many children see this bullshit and their brains are influenced by these gasbags.

[BannonsLiver]

25. If Coulter has a fan younger than 65 I'll eat my hat

This is not someone with s great deal of penetration into the pysyche of America's youth. Her wheelhouse is pervy older white men, and it always has been. And as she's gotten older and lost her looks she's even losing them which brings us back to why she's tweeting about Irma: A desperate need to stay relevant.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

30. Point well made, and...

Not being a social media user, maybe I'm giving her too much credit. However, I've been under the impression these tweets can spread far and wide, depending on who they were sent to. Obviously, someone at RawStory picked up on it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

16. Hmm.. Last I heard, downtown Miami was under water.

[kentuck]

21. Was this the general's tweet or was this your comment??

"Coulter has obviously never been in combat. Only a stupid fool would make light of a red alert intended to save lives. She and Limbaugh should be charged for criminal behavior the same as someone yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. This is not about free speech. It's about being stupid and insensitive. "

[SeattleVet]

22. "Coulter needs a reality check."

I'm thinking that her reality check probably bounced.

[paleotn]

23. I think Kelly is becoming weary...

..of dealing with those who have no sense of reality...including the orange guy currently inhabiting the white house. That's certainly understandable for those who've been there, and done that, when dealing with those in the "arm chair" crowd, who's only accomplishment in their pathetic lives is running their pudgy, soft, white mouths.

[Sneederbunk]

24. Advice to Mr. Kelly

Do not pay attention to Coulter and never, ever respond.

[Marie Marie]

28. What is wrong with this woman?

I mean seriously, what is WRONG with her?? I guess I will never understand anyone who, upon waking and rising, has the sole purpose of being a dick (no offense to penises) and pissing off as many people as possible. Day after day - if given the chance and the exposure. What a sad way to live. She is to be pitied for being such a poor excuse for a human being.

[Justice]

29. Two Florida law enforcement officers died

Will Ann mock them too?

[PCIntern]

32. Only if they're registered Democrats. nt

[maxrandb]

34. Ted Nugent in a Mini-Skirt said what? n/t
