Ann Coulter may be the Cornell alum of whom my school is most embarrassed.
The Far Right commentator deploys few facts to defend any mainstream conservative viewpoints, preferring instead to go full-tilt racist and intolerant. She routinely is found stoking the fires of Islamophobia, calling for a return to literacy tests at the ballot box, lamenting women's suffrage, and using all manner of slurs.
And yet, Coulter routinely remains — despite her bigoted and inane commentary — a fixture of mainstream media's political talk shows.
Last night, Coulter appeared on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews in a segment with the host and fellow guest Joy Reid (video after the jump). In discussing protests at Trump rallies, Coulter veered once more into the bizarre and racist when she first referred to Asian Americans as "Mandarins", and then she insisted for the next minute and a half that this is the most correct term for our community.
