    I just canā€™t understand the complete arrogance. Why do people suddenly think itā€™s okay to get in front of a mic and say things that are very bigoted, and do it with confidence?

    Granted, itā€™s Coulter and sheā€™s got a gold medal for some Olympian level dumb shit. But man, when are some of these folks going to go away?

      All the social media engineering they did REALLY dug deep with the impressionables.
