Pro-LGBTQ Sen. Mark Kelly and Republican nutjob Blake Masters squared off in a televised debate hosted by Arizona PBS last night and nobody was more parched by it than Ann Coulter.
The 60-year-old homophobe spent a good chunk of the hour-long debate thirsting over 36-year-old Masters, who has never held public office before and is trailing Kelly in the polls.
Let’s have a look…
It started with Coulter immediately gushing over how “very tall” Masters looked on stage:
How about we take this to the next level?

Blake Masters is very tall. Also not a liar when he says he wants to protect the border unlike Mark Kelly.@cspan #AZSenateDebate

A few minutes later, she declared him “absolutely the best person running for Senate this year”:
No disrespect to any other Republicans but Blake Masters is absolutely the best person running for Senate this year.

Of course, she couldn’t just watch the debate without taking a moment to complain about the ASL translators:
Why do we need deaf translators on televised Senate debates when every TV has closed captioning?

As things were winding down, she begged everyone to watch the hour-long debate online then told them to skip the parts that didn’t feature Masters:
Arizonans! I beg you to watch tonight‘s debate between Kelly and Masters online.
You can shave off 20 minutes by fast forwarding through the Joe Pesci character.

Then this morning, she logged onto Twitter to urge people–IN ALL CAPS!–to watch the replay of the debate on C-Span “RIGHT NOW!!”:
MEDIA ALERT: C-SPAN REPLAYING LAST NIGHT'S BLAKE MASTERS-MARK KELLY DEBATE RIGHT NOW!!
Must watch!

Seriously, girl, go back to your stable and rehydrate yourself at the water trough.
Masters is a venture capitalist who is BFFs with gay billionaire Peter Thiel. He’s also a homophobic pile of garbage who wants to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the SCOTUS decision establishing a right to same-sex marriage.

According to his ivoterguide profile, Masters also believes “religious freedom” must be protected at all costs and that businesses should be allowed to discriminate against LGBTQ people if being gay violates their moral and/or religious beliefs.
And on his Twitter page, he has vowed to push for a federal version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, saying “tax dollars should not fund radical gender ideology and weird sex instruction for children.”
When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I will push a federal version of the Florida law: your tax dollars should not fund radical gender ideology and weird sex instruction for children.

With views like that, it’s no wonder he left Coulter totally dehydrated after last night’s debate. Voters, on the other hand, seem to be a lot less thirsty for the guy. According to the latest FiveThirtyEight average, Masters is trailing Kelly by six points.

“Today, they’re telling kids where to put the banana.”
If the opposition is so bad, why do you have to invent lies?

whereshouldistart
Not sure I’d call someone who is having sex with bananas, “straight”.
Fruit can’t give consent. He’s a FRAPIST!

Masters is so much worse than just a homophobe. He’s a radical monarchist/elitist/authoritarian/racist…I’m not kidding. See the Rolling Stone profiles of him. Scary. Even the best man at his wedding disavows him, along with many classmates from his private high school in an open letter. Masters having a homophobic platform makes his billionaire backer Peter Thiel a very dangerous man.

Look, Ann…. We know that no man has banged you in years. Stop hitting on a guy young enough to be your son. Your desperation is like cheap cologne – it can be smelled a mile away. Just go buy another vibrator and go away.

The people who whine about sign language are the people who call the rest of us “snowflakes.” Imagine being upset about sign language. Ugh, these dumb bigots are exhausting.
