Ann Coulter reminded an ABC host Sunday that speech you hate to hear is not the same as hate speech.
On ABC’s This Week, host Jonathan Karl lectured Coulter about her track record of incendiary comments and said she should not have been surprised that a speech Coulter was scheduled to give at the University of California at Berkley was canceled.
“And then there was the tweet that you put out just the day before the election, saying, ‘If only people with at least four grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide,'” Karl said.
“OK. Let’s just take that one. We can go through all the greatest hits of much of my commentary. I watch roughly 24 hours a day, the Hispanic vote, the Hispanic vote, the Hispanic vote, how the — how the, you know, the browning of America and how are African-Americans voting. How are women voting. I describe one demographic and say how it would come out. And that’s hate speech?” she said.
“Why isn’t it hate speech to keep telling me how Hispanics are going to vote?” she added.
She then corrected Karl on his understanding of the First Amendment.
