Commenting on her refusal to hug an undocumented immigrant during a recent interview, Ann Coulter doubled down, adding that she would “not admit overweight” immigrants into the country if she was “in charge of immigration.”

During a May 26 interview between Coulter and Jorge Ramos on Fusion's America with Jorge Ramos, undocumented immigrant and activist Gaby Pacheco asked Coulter if she could have a hug. When Coulter refused, claiming she was recovering from the flu, Pacheco persisted, saying the hug would be “a sign of my humanity and yours.” 

In a May 28th post on Breitbart, Matt Boyle detailed what he deemed to be “missing” context from coverage of the event. Buried at the end of the piece was a comment from Coulter weighing in on her snub of Pacheco, elaborating on how she wouldn't “admit people like Pacheco to the United States” if she were in charge of immigration. Coulter explained that “When I'm in charge of immigration (after our 10 year moratorium), I will not admit overweight girls.” 

Boyle concurred with Coulter, adding: “She's got a point: Shouldn't the United States be picking the most desirable immigrants to bring into the United States, truly the best and brightest?” 

Coulter's latest insult came after a week of despicable commentary from the conservative pundit. In the same interview with Ramos, Coulter said Americans should fear immigrants more than ISIS, lamenting that “If you don't want to be killed by ISIS, don't go to Syria. If you don't want to be killed by a Mexican, there's nothing I can tell you.” In an interview with Sean Hannity on May 27, Coulter also claimed that the US is “bringing in people from backward, primitive cultures.”
