Ann Coulter: ‘Who Cares’ if Russians Hacked DNC to Help Trump

 

Far-right author Ann Coulter has brushed off concerns over Russia hacking the Democratic National Committee to help President Donald Trump during the 2016 election, saying today that, “If they did it, who cares?”

“There’s no evidence they did it,” Coulter, who made the comments while appearing on Breitbart News Daily, said to Breitbart editor Alex Marlow. “If they did it, who cares? If they did it, they certainly didn’t do it to help Trump. I mean, it’s preposterous.”

Marlow chimed in with agreement:

“I like the ‘who cares?’ question. Hasn’t Russia always tried to do this? We just learned—it just broke on CNN, of all places, this morning—that the Russians also tried to hack conservative think tanks. So, no one cares about—that’s what they do. They’re the Russians. It’s like saying, ‘That’s what they do, they’re the Canadians.’ They’re pikers compared to China, Israel and Mexico interfering with our elections all the time and moreover, we do it all day long to other countries.”

Coulter, who also accused liberals of trying to “nag us to death until we all agree that Russia hacked the DNC,” continued by saying, “Payback’s a bitch” — which was a reference to liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros giving money to Democrat aligned groups.
