MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle Begs Fox News to Stop Giving Ann Coulter a Forum to Spew ‘Pure Hatred’
On Ingraham's Fox News show, Ann Coulter describes her version of the Dem party
"I mean you have the Muslims and the Jews and the various exotic sexual groups and the black church ladies with the college queers … you must hate white men. It's the one thing they have in common" pic.twitter.com/xGWe0wH2uP

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle went off on Fox News for giving airtime to Ann Coulter‘s “pure hatred” last night.
Coulter appeared on Fox Tuesday night with Laura Ingraham for a segment on Women’s March leaders who have expressed praise for Louis Farrakhan despise his hateful and anti-Semitic remarks. Ingraham asked why Democratic leaders who support the movement aren’t being challenged by the media on their associations.
Coulter said this in response:
“Laura, I think you know the answer that question. I think we’re going to be seeing a lot of these disputes in the Democratic party base because they all hate one another. I mean, you have the Muslims and the Jews and the various exotic sexual groups and the black church ladies with the college queers. The only thing that keeps the Democratic base together is for them to keep focusing on, ‘No, white men are the ones keeping you down. You must hate white men.’ It’s the one thing they all have in common.”
Her commentary got some attention and condemnation today, including from MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, who basically begged Fox News to stop giving her “pure hatred” a platform:
PLEASE @FoxNews
I am actually begging can we please stop this
This has NOTHING to do with politics or policy
This is pure hatredFreedom of free speech is what makes out country great
Giving these words a platform any larger than a sewer is truly awfulPlease stop https://t.co/3kkg6e84e0

When did it become ok to claim on national television that Jews, Muslims, gay people and black people have their hatred of white men as a common denominator? What is going on? https://t.co/VSKDWHz3F7

The racism runs deep. But I am curious how all the corporations who advertise on @foxnews can tout their diversity and inclusion strategies—and support this overt racist and bigoted content. https://t.co/NuhkOADukO
