Conservative writer Ann Coulter refused to hug an undocumented immigrant during an audience Q&A portion of an interview Tuesday on Fusion.
Activist and undocumented Ecuadorian immigrant Gaby Pacheco walked up to the microphone and asked whether she could give Coulter a hug.
Coulter refused, saying she was recovering from the worst flu Ive ever had.
....
Ramos said most immigrants are not terrorists nor criminals and asked Coulter whether she thought people were biologically predisposed to commit crimes.
No, I think there are cultures that are obviously deficient and if they werent deficient you wouldnt be sitting in America interviewing me, Id be sitting in Mexico, Coulter said to Ramos. You fled that culture because it is a there are a lot of problems with that culture.
....
Coulter, who was appearing on the show to promote her book Adios, America, said the country was about to lose its title as the best in the world and that the ones to suffer would be the "weak ones."
"It's the women. It's the children. It's the animals. It's the plants," Coulter said. "No country has had the sort of respect for women that Anglo-America does and that is going out the door."

She was probably worried she'd snap in half.

She is definitely allowed to say no to any hugs she doesn't want to participate in.

I'm not aware of this Anglo-America. Where else besides Coulter's small mind does it exist?

Now she doesn't need a hazmat team to wash the Coulter off.

And we shouldn't shame her for that. A big part of consent culture is teaching everyone from they are children that they have the right to refuse hugs and kisses if they don't want to get them. Shaming Ann Coulter for that just because she's a despicable republican is just plain wrong.
Now, shaming her for her despicable views on immigration and other cultures, on the other hand, that is absolutely fair game, and she should be roundly and soundly shamed for what she said about Mexican culture.
