Ann Coulter: ‘Not Having a Wall Is the Definition of a Government Shutdown’

COULTER: "The border wall update. Number of miles built today, zero. Number of miles built since Trump’s inauguration zero. Look for the next update tomorrow. I mean, I’m a little annoyed. This was the campaign promise that shook up the political world. You would think, if you were someone like Paul Ryan, after spending the entire Trump campaign trying to undermine Trump and still to have him elected and be elected in a pretty stunning victory, winning Wisconsin, Paul Ryan’s home state. Something Republicans haven’t won for 20 years, including when, ah-ha Paul Ryan from Wisconsin was on the ticket. You would think the day after November 8th, so November 9th Paul Ryan says I don’t think I will go for my four hour weight lifting routine today. I will start working on the signature promise that just won Donald Trump the election and not wait until April 7th to say to the president of the United States we will have to drop funding for the wall because we don’t want a government shutdown, when of course, as I wrote in my column this week, they are not funding a wall to avoid a government shutdown? Not having a wall is the definition of a government shutdown. The basic purpose of government is to keep us safe. If we can’t protect our borders, I would say that’s a government shutdown."
