Meghan McCain Attacks Ann Coulter For Joking About Her Murder

Meghan McCain Attacks Ann Coulter After Shocking Column

Meghan McCain condemned Ann Coulter on Thursday after the conservative provocateur joked about her being murdered in a recent column.

Coulter, who has tangled with McCain many times in the past, made the joke in a piece on Wednesday:

Obama has been draping himself in families of the children murdered in Newtown.

MSNBC's Martin Bashir suggested that Republican senators need to have a member of their families killed for them to support the Democrats' gun proposals. (Let's start with Meghan McCain!)

That wasn't, strictly speaking, quite an accurate reading of Bashir's comments, as New York's Daily Intel pointed out, but McCain took notice and issued a stream of tweets condemning the piece:

Apparently Ann Coulter made a joke about me being killed in a recent column. I should expect nothing less but disgusted regardless.
