Ann Coulter went on a racist Twitter tirade after an Asian-American reporter published a piece on Immigration and Customs Enforcement senior adviser Jon Feere and his appreciation for the right-wing pundit’s commentary. The far-right, anti-immigration and anti-Muslim talking head posted a series of tweets, attacking Media Matters investigative reporter Eric Hananoki for being Asian. Insinuating that Asians do not experience racism, Coulter sarcastically tweeted, “An Asian is going to explain racism to us. Apparently it has nothing to do with black people. It’s all about IMMIGRANTS,” in response to Hananoki’s piece titled “ICE senior adviser Jon Feere is an Ann Coulter superfan who loves her racist immigration writings.”

Hananoki’s piece focused on Feere’s previous promotion of Coulter’s columns attacking immigrants, particularly her Islamophobic pieces. The reporter discovered a number of times when Feere, a known immigration hard-liner and critic of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, propped up Coulter’s work. The reporter made no reference to racism against black or Asian people in the piece. “It surprised me because her attacks on me for being Asian seem so beside the point of the article, but it didn’t because she has a long history of open racism,” Hananoki told HuffPost. “Her whole thing is trying to get her followers mad at others ― and you’ve definitely been seeing that with how she constantly demonizes immigrants to this country. And it only reinforces how disturbing it is that Jon Feere, a senior official at ICE, loves her work.” Coulter’s tirade continued. Minutes after her first Hananoki-related tweet, she again retweeted his piece and seemingly tried to pit Asians and blacks against each other, writing, “Forget the Middle Passage, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights.... Racism is only about ASIAN IMMIGRANTS! ― Eric Hananoki.”

She continued to attack him, sharing his headshot along with statements like “Hey, black people! Eric Hananoki will tell you what’s racist!” and “Have you ever noticed all the good anti-racism jobs are going to Asians? Eric Hananoki: Racism Slayer!” She also went after his Media Matters colleague Matthew Gertz, who had shared a screenshot of what he called her “racist meltdown.”

Oh! I just thought of a new civil right for you guys at Media Matters to celebrate: Asians & Jews who think they're black. https://t.co/vvnuihsPaH — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) February 7, 2019
