Did Ann Coulter just endorse Elizabeth Warren?

Right-wing lightning rod Ann Coulter surely is not endorsing Sen. Elizabeth Warren, but don’t tell that to supporters of the Massachusetts Democrat.

‘Sen. Warren has convinced me that Bernie isn’t that worrisome. He’ll never get anything done. SHE’S the freak who will show up with 17 idiotic plans every day and keep everyone up until it gets done.’

That is the tweet that sent Coulter flying up Twitter’s TWTR, -1.65% trending list in the wake of the latest Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night. Judging from the spirited response, her comment probably didn’t strike its intended note:


This might be the best reason to vote for @ewarren I’ve seen yet. She’ll get stuff done that people like Ann Coulter find idiotic. pic.twitter.com/7I9ycfrvc1— Veronica Miron (@veronicamiron) February 26, 2020

Elizabeth Warren’s competence frightens both Ann Coulter and Peter Thiel. That’s reassuring as hell. When both white nationalists and diabolical billionaires fear your ability to usher in progress, you’re doing something right.— Adam Best (@adamcbest) February 26, 2020

I was not sure about Elizabeth Warren.
Ann Coulter said that she is "afraid" of her.
Thanks, Ann.
Warren it is.— Robert People (@PeoplesCourt79) February 26, 2020

I don’t think Ann *intended* this as an endorsement but it wouldn’t surprise me if Warren HQ decided to blow the tweet up and put it on a poster. https://t.co/bue6QVe334— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) February 26, 2020

Apparently, the Boston Globe editorial board agrees — sort of — with Coulter.

The paper endorsed Warren on Wednesday for basically the very same “worrisome” reason inspiring the Coulter tweet: that Bernie Sanders is “less likely to deliver” the “profound changes” that both candidates are pushing to enact.

“Warren is uniquely poised to accomplish serious reform without sacrificing what’s working in our economy and innovation ecosystem,” the Globe editorial argued. “She would get under the hood to fix the engine — not drive off a cliff, but also not just kick the tires.”

The newspaper announced its endorsement via this video:
