On ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos” Sunday, Coulter was asked by about her criticism that Democrats have largely abandoned African-Americans when it comes to civil rights.
“I think the way liberals have treated blacks like children and many of their policies have been harmful to blacks. At least they got the beneficiary group right,” Coulter said. “There is the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws. We don’t owe the homeless. We don’t owe feminists. We don’t owe women who are desirous of having abortions or gays who want to get married to one another. That’s what civil rights has become for much of the left.”
“Immigrant rights are not civil rights?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“No,” Coulter responded, “No. I think civil rights are for blacks. What have we done to the immigrants? We owe black people something. We have a legacy of slavery. Immigrants haven’t even been in this country.”
