The night before Americans choose their next president, Ann Coulter imagined a United States in which Donald Trump would win the election, but also be prohibited from voting in one.

If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide. — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) November 8, 2016

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users pounced, pointing out that her standards wouldn’t even permit the GOP presidential nominee and his children to vote.

Trump’s mother and grandparents were immigrants. And both his first former wife and his current wife were born overseas.

Just one problem with that... Trump himself wouldn't be able to vote, much less run for president.#Drumpf https://t.co/GQu8cF85ps — Trevor Noah (@Trevornoah) November 8, 2016

@AnnCoulter None of Trump's four grandparents were born in the US. Two in Germany, two in UK. A nation of immigrants! — Doyle McManus (@DoyleMcManus) November 8, 2016

@AnnCoulter Ann, your side usually waits until 3 a.m. to tweet sh*t this stupid. — Medium Happy (@jdubs88) November 8, 2016

But then Trump couldn't run, since his mom and paternal grandparents weren't born in the US. So, um, yeah. https://t.co/7Uxwnuqk0Q — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 8, 2016

Yet Coulter tweeted that such a detail was irrelevant to the point she was making.

But Twitter users noticed something even worse than Coulter’s obvious gaffe.

Determining voting rights based on grandparents sounds uncomfortably similar to Nazi Germany’s Nuremberg Laws of 1935, the sweeping antisemitic legislation that stripped Jewish people of basic civil rights. They could no longer hold public office and had no formal expectation to the right to vote.

The first amendment of the Nuremberg Laws defined a Jewish person not by religious beliefs, but by having three to four Jewish grandparents.

Ann Coulter's disgusting "four grandparents" reference recalls the Mischling Test, a Nazi way to identify "pure-blood" Germans versus Jews. — Christine Brandt (@LavishTantrums) November 8, 2016

Not surprising to see Ann Coulter propose a modified version of the Nazi Mischling Test to restrict voting rights. https://t.co/AkvgEC8K5l https://t.co/0SMfZWkrCJ — Franksgiving (@goddamnedfrank) November 8, 2016

But when it comes down to it, news executive Jim Roberts responded succinctly:

.@AnnCoulter Well, they aren’t, so he won’t. — Jim Roberts (@nycjim) November 8, 2016

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
