Ann Coulter says she was talking about how the Republicans in Wednesday night’s debate were pandering, and was not a rap on Jews. But it’s not being interpreted that way in many quarters.

In a separate tweet, she said, “Maybe it’s to suck up to the Evangelicals.”

When Christie made his pledge, Coulter tweeted: “Christie also talks @ Israel in response to the question: What will AMERICA look like after you are president?”

Subsequently, she tweeted, “How to get applause from GOP donors: 1) Pledge to start a war 2) Talk about job creators 3) Denounce abortion 4) Cite Reagan 5) Cite Israel.”

The sequence drew outrage and satire on social media. Christians United for Israel excoriated Coulter in a release.

“Ann Coulter’s tweets this evening concerning Israel were completely inappropriate,” spokesman Ari Morgenstern said in a statement. “The U.S.-Israel relationship is both a moral and strategic imperative. There are tens of millions of Christians in this country who stand with the Jewish state.

Sadly, though, she rallied the white supremacist crowd, more than those who saw the kind of pandering Republicans were doing.
