Coulter Slams Rubio’s Denouncement of Trump by Invoking Chattanooga Shooting
Donald Trump managed to, once again, cross the line for just about everybody when he said that John McCain was not a real war hero because he was captured (and tortured) during his service in Vietnam. The statement drew the ire of many of Trump’s GOP rivals, including Marco Rubio, who released this tweet earlier today:
America’s POWs deserve much better than to have their service questioned by the offensive rantings of Donald Trump
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) July 18, 2015
Enter Ann Coulter, who has tweeted in the last few hours about her ongoing condemnation of immigrants as responsible for crime and misery in America. Coulter’s tweets pointed to a New York Times article detailing the troubled family life of Chattanooga shooter Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, and how his father attempted to take a second wife by invoking Palestinian law:
NYT: Mohammed's dad intended to take a 2d wife, permitted under Islamic law, in their native state of Palestine. http://t.co/Yui0zxm1LL

Mohammed's dad seems not to have noticed that he was no longer living in their native state of Palestine. http://t.co/Yui0zxm1LL

Coulter has repeatedly established herself as a supporter of Trump’s comments about immigrants, and decided to use Rubio’s condemnation to imply that what he really thinks is that the five victims of Abdulazeez’s attack deserved to be killed:
Yes, @marcorubio thinks they deserve to be gunned down by immigrants like Muhammad Abdulazeez at recruiting centers. https://t.co/tKGolEsyWn

UPDATE – 5:21 P.M. EST Coulter has added onto her original thoughts with more tweets about Trump:
Trump was being flip and misspoke in 3 seconds. The rest of our guys, with conscious deliberation, sell out the voters and the country.
