Ann Coulter attacks Alicia Machado as ‘Hispanic mattress girl’ — like the raped student at Columbia

Source: Raw Story

Professional troll, Ann Coulter fell out of the news for about a week, so it’s must have been time for her to try to shock as many people as possible with the most inflammatory and insensitive remarks she can muster.

In a Thursday appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio show, Coulter called former Miss Universe Alicia Machado nothing more than a “Hispanic mattress girl.” The reference is to Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz, who carried her dorm mattress through campus after being raped in her dorm room. Sulkowicz explained that her protest represented the burden she carried since Columbia University refused to suspend her alleged rapist, forcing her to face him almost daily.

“And it’s pretty spin gruel when this latest one, the Hispanic mattress girl, Alicia Machado,” Coulter began. “Now today she’s saying, ‘Oh I’m not talking about Trump anymore.’ Their big heroine of the
“Last debate,” Hannity cut in.

“Yes, of what a brute Donald Trump is,” Coulter continued. She then went on to cite the conspiracy theories about Machado and her past.

and the media had some integrity. I don't think we'll ever see that again. I've been waiting for 35 years now and it getting worse. Pretty soon, you'll see that guy in your picture on CNN with Anderson Cooper.

isn't she the first person to attend the Glenn Beck Academy? Don't think she graduated though.

Has always been to say the most offensive thing possible, then play the victim when she gets called on it. As Al Franken once said back in the Air America days.

Just remember that, and Don't Feed The Troll. Ignore her; she "wins" when she gets under your skin.
