— Conservative political pundit Ann Coulter has come under fire on social media for tweeting after Hillary Clinton was nominated as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, “Where are the Bernie supporters tonight? Did Hillary have them gassed?”

Coulter was slammed for apparently referring to the Holocaust in the Twitter post on Tuesday night during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Where are the Bernie supporters tonight? Did Hillary have them gassed?

“What a disgusting tweet. I didn’t survive 57 gassings in Dachau only to face this virulent anti-semitism in 2016,” was one reply.

“Deliberate choice of words. Antisemitism gets the sick attention this narcissist seeks,” was another.

Coulter is no stranger to anti-Semitic controversy.

During a Republican debate last September, Coulter tweeted “how many f***|ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?” She later doubled down on the tweet, calling it “pro-Semitic.”

Donald Trump also waded into controversy when he retweeted a message from a white supremacist group that had also created an image of Trump sending Sanders to a concentration camp gas chamber.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
