Lawrence O'Donnell Calls Out Ann Coulter Over Mitt Romney Flip-Flopping (VIDEO)

Lawrence O'Donnell called out Ann Coulter during his MSNBC show on Tuesday by highlighting key moments in the recent years when Coulter has changed her tune on GOP candidate Mitt Romney.

Coulter, who staunchly supports Romney's 2012 run for the Republican nomination for president, has not always backed the candidate.

"Every time Ann Coulter talks about Romney at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), she has something new to say. And it's something in direct contradiction to the last thing she said," O'Donnell said.

He ran clips of Coulter's 2007 appearance at CPAC. Coulter said that she thought "Romney was probably [the Republican Party's] best candidate" for the 2008 presidential election. In 2011, Coulter told a CPAC audience that if the Republican Party does not run New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, "Romney will be the [2012] nominee and we'll lose."

Just last week at CPAC, Coulter said of Romney, "You can't call him dumb. You can't call him crazy. You can call him square...Let's try square for a while."

O'Donnell criticized what he called Coulter's standard for endorsing a Republican candidate. "If you can't call him dumb and you can't call him crazy, he gets the Coulter vote." He then told Coulter that she was "right the second time," referring to the 2011 clip he played in which Coulter predicted Romney becoming the Republican nominee for president and losing the general election.

I'm amazed that men consider this woman attractive....and therefore, actually watch and listen to what she has to say. It has nothing to do with brains.... it's more of a broomstick with blonde hair look.

Tell me when O'Donnell is going to tell us how Trump is really a middle class, rather poor guy living off his TV show again so I can get some laughs.

My husband thinks Lawrence O'Donnell is bipolar.

Shouldn't you be cooking him up a pot of grits right about now ?

sorry lawrence.

Huh? Why would this clown find it important to disect Ann Colter? He seems kinda creepy to me!

That Larry, quite a guy... He loves to "call out" people when they're 1,000 miles away. Put him one on one in the same room with the multitude of people he's "called out" and they would make him look like the mental midget he is.

Until that happens your just making things up.

If Larry was as astute as all of you progressives pose on this blog, he'd at least have good ratings for his show... but, he DOESN'T

I understand your point. I watch Lawrence. He's an extremely smart guy but his delivery is dry. It's unfortunate that his ratings are low because people could gain knowledge from watching his show.

So she likes Romney cause he's stiff now? Umm what's going on behind the scene at CPAC.
06:47 PM on 02/16/2012
I think we've found the reason Romney has fallen in the polls...

O'Donnell can always find something, somewhere to hit on when it concerns a conservative. BUT, he is blind and dumb when it comes to commenting negatively on his liberal friends.

When she also said, you're not black to gay folks...I think it would be fair to say, "Ann with that adam's apple--you're not an Ann...you're more like a John or a Kevin..."

She failed as an author. She failed as a pundit. Then one day she she decied that she was a comedian so now she thinks she is Kathy Griffin.

She is still failing.

Made a few million on her best selling books - nice way to fail - And to compare to Kathy Griffin, you can do better then that.

Don't embellish and don't flatter yourself. She's only sold 2-3 million combined with her 8-10 books. That's barely enough books for all of the republicans in Alaska, Rhode Island and Delaware combined. And actually to compare her to Kathy Griffin she can't do better that. It's bad enough that she has to keep her day job. She should really stay away from the humor. She has none.

Thanks for your comment.

Since when is having multiple best sellers failing? YOU are a failure

These MSNBC hosts are like a bunch of little first graders who run to tell the teacher when another kid is being naughty. In a one on one debate Ann Coulter would send O'Donnell back to anger management.

Sure she would. You go right ahead and keep thinking that.

by the way, Lawrence would have a field day with her. Maybe you should look up his credentials before making outlandish statements.
06:56 PM on 02/16/2012
"credentials" don't debate. Ann would eat Larry's lunch
07:30 PM on 02/16/2012
His resume is real short.Condescending Dumba_ _ closed brain know-it-all. Watch his show, it doesn't take long to see his credentials..
