Ann Coulter miffed ‘The View’ doesn’t want her as co-host, says she’s too smart for the show anyway
Ever since Meghan McCain left The View six months ago, the show has featured a rotating roster of conservative guest co-hosts as it searches for a permanent replacement.
One person who definitely does not appear to be in the running for the job is provocateur Ann Coulter.“Yes, of course I would [take the job] but they will never pick me,” Coulter recently told The New York Post. “[It seems] they don’t mean what they say.
You might be exposing a double-secret requirement: Must be a dumb, easy-to-push-around Republican.”An unnamed source added, “They will never take Ann Coulter.
They’re really looking for someone who can have polite arguments to raise the ratings without getting too aggressive. They’re also not looking for someone who could possibly win an argument.”Related: Comedian Nikki Glaser shares the one joke about Ann Coulter she feels a tiny bit bad for makingNow, we have no idea why ABC’s top-rated daytime showhasn’t offered Coulter for a job, but we suspect it might have less to do with her ability to “win an argument” and more to do with the fact that her entire platform has been built on spewing hatred and bigotry.When it comes to queer people, for example, she opposes same-sex marriage, civil unions, trans bathroom rights, and non-discrimination protections for LGTBQ people.
