Ann Coulter Fires Back At Comedy Central For Mean, Unfunny, “Racist C-Word” Roast Jokes

Yesterday we filled you in on the news that the Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe turned out to not be about bashing Rob Lowe, but tearing into conservative queen Ann Coulter. The right wing political pundit thought she was there to roast Lowe, but found herself the subject of a barrage of really mean attacks. There were many jokes that asked her to die and referred to her as a c-word. To fill you in:

She was accused of sexually assaulting Roger Ailes (Jeffrey Ross), voting like it’s 1899 (Jewel), writing Mein Kampf (Glasser), and encouraged to kill herself by Jimmy Carr. The exact joke was “Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face bitches alive. It’s not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself.”

Well, Coulter is firing back by slamming Comedy Central as a network. The Hollywood Reporter interviewed her about the uncomfortable show and when asked why she thinks it became a roast of her, she said, “I have no idea, but it probably has something to do with Comedy Central’s corporate decision to move away from comedy — which is paying huge dividends with the Larry Wilmore and Trevor Noah shows.” Burn.

So was Ann Coulter offended? She keeps saying she was not: “Nothing offends me. ‘Bored me is a different story.” Still, that didn’t stop her from going after some of the crueler celebs at the roast. She said, “I don’t know any of them. I’d never heard of any of them except Eli Manning [a reference to Peyton Manning] and Jewel — and Spade and Lowe, of course, though I’ve never seen any of their movies.”

Coulter also said that she wishes the unedited version of the roast could be made available. She then went after Variety: “Tip to reporters based on the Variety review. You ought to get these new things they have called ‘tape recorders’ so you don’t murder peoples’ jokes with your crappy paraphrases.”

So there you have it. Coulter is totally unfazed by the mean jokes about her dying, but only because she thinks jokes “should be funny.” Doth the lady protest too much? (Also, they were kind of super mean.)

You can watch Comedy Central’s Roast of Rob Lowe on Monday, September 5 — which you can stream on Sling TV.
