Conservative activist, author, and syndicated columnist.

Last updated

Born on December 8, 1961, in New York City, Ann Hart Coulter works as a lawyer, syndicated columnist, author, and conservative political activist.[1][2] Thirteen books have been authored by Coulter, and she also writes a syndicated newspaper column.[3][4]

Life and work

She later worked for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee after the Republican Party took control of Congress in 1994, handling crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham.[5][6] She describes herself as someone who likes to "stir up the pot" and does not pretend to be impartial or balanced.[4][7] Coulter earned a Bachelor of Arts in history, graduating cum laude from Cornell University in 1984, and then obtained her Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School in 1988, where she served as an editor for the Michigan Law Review.[8] Godless: The Church of Liberalism*, her fifth book released in 2006, entered the New York Times Best Seller list at the number one spot.[9]

Each year, Coulter allocates between 6 and 12 weeks to speaking tours; her earnings from these engagements in 2010 were estimated at $500,000.[10][11]

What the cited sources add

A 2023 HuffPost article states that Coulter joined critics of Texas' anti-abortion decision, writing "The prolife movement has gone from compassion for the child to cruelty to the mother"[12] In a 2019 Newsweek article, Coulter said she would vote for Bernie Sanders if he stuck to his "original position" on U.S. border policy.[13] Sentinel published Coulter's 2012 book Mugged, which contends that liberals and Democrats have unfairly claimed credit for racial civil rights advancements in America.[14][15]
