About Ann Coulter

Ann Hart Coulter was born December 8, 1961 in New York City

Graduated cum laude from Cornell in 1984, and received her law degree from the University of Michigan, where she achieved membership in the Order of the Coif and was an editor of The Michigan Law Review

Coulter’s first national media appearance came after she was hired in 1996 by MSNBC as a legal correspondent. She was fired the next year after an exchange with Bobby Muller, president of the anti-war group Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation who had been paralyzed due to combat wounds. In response to Muller’s claim that during the Vietnam War American soldiers had stepped mainly on their own landmines, she infamously said “No wonder you guys lost.” Coulter claimed that she did not know Muller was disabled.

Coulter is the author of five books. All have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list.

Coulter’s weekly syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate is printed in more than 100 newspapers nationwide, and linked to by many conservative websites, including Frontpagemag.com and Townhall.com. Her syndicator says “Ann’s client newspapers stick with her because she has a loyal fan base of conservative readers who look forward to reading her columns in their local newspapers.”
