Ann Coulter on Hannity: Shutdown Was ‘So Magnificent, Run Beautifully’ by GOP

In retrospect, Ann Coulter believes the government shutdown turned out very well and the Republicans played it beautifully, telling Sean Hannity she’s “proud” of Republicans like Ted Cruz who took a stand on Obamacare. They both agreed that “everything run by the government will get more expensive and worse over time,” though Coulter slightly disagreed with Hannity about tactics going forward.

Coulter blasted the health care law, suggesting it was “designed to fail so they can move it to a single-payer system,” and said that now it’s very clear how effective the shutdown was. She said, “The shutdown was so magnificent, run beautifully, I’m so proud of these Republicans.”

Hannity admitted he was bothered by Republicans by John McCain who sold out the rest of their party instead of holding the ranks. Coulter even lamented how some of “our media” was too busy going after Cruz, and argued the liberal media wouldn’t be this critical if a House Democratic majority attempted what the Republicans did.

Coulter also told Hannity conservatives shouldn’t “waste our time primarying our own guys,” putting the emphasis on broadening Republican numbers in Congress first.
