Here is what I can never seem to understand: people who have years on the record of saying one thing who flip flop completely randomly. On July 21, 2006, Ann Coulter appeared on Sean Hannity and proposed to “carpet-bomb Iran so they can’t build a transistor radio” meaning get a nuclear weapon. Six days later, on Hardball, she talked about military action rather than allowing Iran’s leadership to obtain any nuclear weapons. (mediamatters.org, mediamatters.org) Eight years later, in July 2014: “I wish we could have Netanyahu as our president.” Re Palestine: “Yes, sometimes Palestinian kids get killed.” (realclearpolitics.com, transcripts.cnn.com) By March 27, 2025 (nineteen years after advocating bombing Iran) Coulter was describing Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force as just a “high-ranking Iranian official,” calling him “beloved by the Iranian people,” and reporting that Iranians credited him with defeating ISIS. In that same column, she praised Vance’s objections in the Signal discussion and supported withdrawing protection from Bolton and Pompeo, arguing that officials who promoted military action should face its consequences. By November 2026, Netanyahu was at the top of her list of people to distrust over Iran. Why by the way sounds very much like the kinds of comments you would hear from Ilhan Omar. What changed? That would be her relationship with The American Conservative which publishes her columns and interviewed her about Iran and backing Vance over Rubio. The American Conservative was founded to challenge Republican foreign-policy. It has always represented a dissenting paleoconservative faction, rather than the party’s dominant position. At least it used to. Governing board Dominique Watkins, Scott McConnell, Robert W. Merry, Michael C. Desch, George D.
