Ann Coulter was her usual controversial self during her appearance on The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch on Monday, proclaiming that the world would be a better place if everyone was Christian.
The skinny platinum conservative pundit was on the CNBC talk show to promote her new book, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans, which hit bookshelves last week.
Coulter, 45, of course, has very particular ideas about how the world should be run. She recently told the New York Observer that she’d like to abolish women’s suffrage. “If we took away women’s right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine.”
Deutsch, 49, asked Coulter if the world would be a better place if she were in charge. “Tell me why this would be a better world?” he asked.
“Take the Republican National Convention,” she replied, “people are happy, they’re Christian, they’re tolerant, they defend America...”
“So we should be Christian?” he asked. “It would be better if we were all Christian?”
“Yes,” she said.
“We should all be Christian?” the Jewish talk show host asked incredulously.
“Yes. Would you like to come to church with me, Donny?” she laughed.
“You said we should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians then?”
“Yeah. Well, it’s a lot easier. It’s kind of a fast track. But you have to obey,” she said. “We just want the Jews to be perfected. That’s what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. We know that we’re all sinners.”
Deutsch called her remark “absurd” and added, “If Ann Coulter had any brains, she would not say that Jews need to be perfected. I’m offended by that, personally.”
After the commercial break, she apologized to the CNBC host. “No, I’m sorry it is not intended to be [offensive]. I don’t think you should take it that way. But that is what Christians consider themselves – perfected Jews.”
“Don’t you see how hateful and anti-Semetic [that is]?” Deutsch asked. “How do you not see it? You’re an educated woman.”
“That’s not hateful at all!” she exclaimed.
“That’s an even scarier thought,” said Deutsch.
