Last night on The Kelly File, Ann Coulter and host Megyn Kelly hit liberal hypocrisy in reaction to a series of AP photos that appeared to show a gun pointed at the head of 2016 presidential candidate Ted Cruz (R-TX). Both Coulter and Kelly were stunned that the AP actually suggested that these photos were unintentional. Coulter noted that this “is so outrageous. Don't insult our intelligence by saying, oh, we didn't even notice.”
Kelly added that it makes little sense to think that this happened by accident: “[I]t had to get by the photographer and the photographer had to take the picture. They had to crop the picture. The editor had to okay the picture.” The Fox News personality compared the reaction to the Cruz photos to the blame that Sarah Palin faced for displaying crosshairs on a website that identified potential congressional districts for Republicans to target:
But let me ask, because when Sarah Palin went up with her ad that had cross hairs on it, just cross hairs, not an actual gun, saying these are the Democratic districts that are targeted, she wound up getting blamed for the shooting of Gabby Giffords, for the shooting of her.
