Right-wing lightning rod Ann Coulter surely didn’t just endorse Elizabeth Warren, but don’t tell that to supporters of the Massachusetts senator.
‘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, -1.49% trending list in the wake of the Democratic debate on Tuesday night. Judging from the spirited response, her comment probably didn’t strike its intended note.
Apparently, the Boston Globe editorial board (sort of) agrees with Coulter.
The paper endorsed Warren on Wednesday for basically the very same “worrisome” reason Coulter tweeted about: 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 board wrote in the editorial. “She would get under the hood to fix the engine — not drive off a cliff, but also not just kick the tires.”
The Boston Globe announced the endorsement via this video:
