Candidate endorsements

Coulter initially supported George W. Bush's presidency, but later criticized its approach to immigration. She endorsed Duncan Hunter[130] and later Mitt Romney in the 2008 Republican presidential primaries[131] and the 2012 Republican presidential primary and presidential run.[132] In the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, she endorsed Donald Trump.[133] Coulter later distanced herself from Trump following arguments over immigration policies; she called for his impeachment in September 2017, saying "Put a fork in Trump, he's dead".[134] She described herself in 2018 as a "former Trumper";[135] in a 2020 speech to a Turning Point USA event, she said, "The Trump agenda without Trump would be a lot easier. Our new motto should be 'Going on with Trumpism without Trump.' That's a winning strategy."[136] Coulter blamed Trump's son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner for Trump's 2020 election loss, and said that Trump had failed to deliver for the white working class.[137]


Other candidates Coulter has endorsed include Greg Brannon (2014 Republican primary candidate for North Carolina Senator),[138] Paul Nehlen (2016 Republican primary candidate for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives),[139] Mo Brooks (2017 Republican primary candidate for Alabama Senator), and Roy Moore (2017 Republican candidate for Alabama Senator).[140]

Controversies

Comments on Islam, Arabs, and terrorism

Coulter's September 14, 2001, column eulogized her friend Barbara Olson, killed three days earlier in the September 11 attacks, and ended with a call for war:

Public perception

Coulter rejects "the academic convention of euphemism and circumlocution",[167] and is claimed to play to misogyny in order to further her goals; she "dominates without threatening (at least not straight men)".[71] Feminist critics also reject Coulter's opinion that the gains made by women have gone so far as to create an anti-male society[168] and her call for women to be rejected from the military because they are more vicious than men.[169] Like the late anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly, Coulter uses traditionally masculine rhetoric as reasoning for the need for traditional gender roles, and she carries this idea of feminized dependency into her governmental policies, according to feminist critics.[170]


Coulter was played by Cobie Smulders in Impeachment: American Crime Story; Betty Gilpin was originally cast in the role but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. The series portrays Coulter's actions while assisting the prosecution in Clinton v. Jones.[171]


Coulter was satirically depicted in season 2, episode 11 of The Boondocks—"The S Word"—where she voiced support for a white teacher in the show who said the N-word.

Personal life

Coulter has been engaged several times, but she has never married and has no children.[28] She has dated Spin founder and publisher Bob Guccione Jr.[49] and conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza.[172][173] In October 2007, she began dating Andrew Stein, the former president of the New York City Council, a liberal Democrat. On January 7, 2008, however, Stein told the New York Post that the relationship was over, citing irreconcilable differences.[174] Kellyanne Conway, who refers to Coulter as a friend, told New York magazine in 2017 that Coulter "started dating her security guard probably ten years ago because she couldn't see anybody else".[175]


Coulter owns a house, bought in 2005, in Palm Beach, Florida, a condominium in Manhattan, and an apartment in Los Angeles. She votes in Palm Beach and is not registered to do so in New York or California.[176]
