(17,387 posts)27. Ann Coulter says she would vote for Bernie Sanders - Coulter a Leftist?
Steve King and Ann Coulter are leftists? This is also not new. Steve King, the White Supremecist from Iowa, was praising Bernie's immigration views back in 2015 and here is Ann Coulter this year once again praising Bernie's immigration views.

Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter often makes headlines by caustically deriding political figures, but she drew attention Wednesday by saying nice things about democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders.
In a preview of an interview on PBS' "Firing Line With Margaret Hoover" that is scheduled to air Friday, Coulter said she might back the Vermont senator's 2020 presidential bid because of his past opposition to immigration legislation that he feared would drive down wages for American workers. If he went back to his original position, which is the pro-blue-collar position. I mean, it totally makes sense with him," she said.
Coulter and other conservatives have praised Sanders for his opposition to a comprehensive immigration reform bill in 2007. "At a time when the middle class is shrinking, the last thing we need is to bring over a period of years millions of people into this country who are prepared to lower wages for American workers," Sanders said at the time. He also said America had a "very serious immigration problem" and that "our border is very porous."

Bernie Sanders' position on immigration is as far left as any of the 2020 candidates.

Biden is on record as having voted for a pathway to citizenship as Sanders fought hard against it.
