Arch-conservative pundit Ann Coulter is fingering Jews as a key part of a liberal “hate white men” coalition that she claims runs the Democratic Party.

The right-wing talking head posited that Jews and other Democratic voting blocs like LGBT people and black women actually despise one another — but unite around an implicit shared hatred for white men.

“I mean, you have the Muslims and the Jews and the various exotic sexual groups and the black church ladies with the college queers. The only thing that keeps the Democratic base together is for them to keeping focusing on, ‘No, white men are the ones keeping you down. You must hate white men.’” she said on Laura Ingraham’s show. “It’s the one thing they have in common.”

Coulter didn’t explain how Jewish men would fit into her paradigm, since many of them consider themselves to be white men.

She went on Fox News Tuesday night to discuss the controversy within the Women’s March, in which several of the leaders are accused of anti-Semitism. Coulter herself frequently complains about Jews and holds white-nationalist views.
