Conservative commentator Ann Coulter apparently has a thing for CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
First she ridiculed the accent of the respected journalist from CNN.
I like hearing CNN’s Fareed Zakaria ask in a thick Indian accent, “What kind of America do we want to return to?”

Then just days later, she took another swipe at Zakaria while at the same time going after the father of a Muslim American veteran killed fighting in Iraq for the United States. The speech at the Democratic National Convention by Khizr Khan was one of the emotional highlights at the Democratic National Convention.
You know what this convention really needed? An angry Muslim with a thick accent like Fareed Zacaria.

The last tweet set off a firestorm from many conservatives who lashed back at Coulter.
I’m ashamed ever to have known you. https://t.co/AkddX4uNa0

What a terrible thing to say about a man whose son died for this country. https://t.co/h9Zp4x3j6v
