Coulter's age was disputed in 2002. While she argued that she was not yet 40, The Washington Post columnist Lloyd Grove cited a birthdate of December 8, 1961, which Coulter provided when registering to vote in New Canaan, Connecticut, prior to the 1980 Presidential election, for which she had to be 18 years old to register. A driver's license issued several years later purportedly listed her birthdate as December 8, 1963. Coulter has not confirmed either date, citing privacy concerns.{{cite news|last=Grove|first=Lloyd|title=Mystery of the Ages|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=September 6, 2002|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2002/09/06/the-reliable-source/dc20d57b-0508-45e7-a7f1-7a93d293f840/|access-date=September 26, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017071607/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2002/09/06/the-reliable-source/dc20d57b-0508-45e7-a7f1-7a93d293f840/|archive-date=October 17, 2015|url-status=live}}

Coulter's first book, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, was published by Regnery Publishing in 1998 and made The New York Times Bestseller list. It details Coulter's case for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.

Her second book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, published by Crown Forum in 2002, reached the number one spot on The New York Times non-fiction best seller list.{{cite news|url=http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/ann_coulter/index.html|title=Ann Coulter|date=March 10, 2009|work=The New York Times|access-date=July 21, 2009|first=Ian|last=Austen|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090313150623/http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/c/ann_coulter/index.html|archive-date=March 13, 2009|url-status=live}} In Slander, Coulter argues that President George W.

In her third book, Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, also published by Crown Forum, she reexamines the 60-year history of the Cold War—including the career of Senator Joseph McCarthy, the Whittaker Chambers-Alger Hiss affair, and Ronald Reagan's challenge to Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall"—and argues that liberals were wrong in their Cold War political analyses and policy decisions, and that McCarthy was correct about Soviet agents working for the U.S. government.{{cite web|url=http://www.claremont.org/publications/crb/id.1200/article_detail.asp |title=Tailgunner Ann |author=William F.

In 2001, as a contributing editor and syndicated columnist for National Review Online (NRO), Coulter was asked by editors to make changes to a piece written after the September 11 attacks. On the show Politically Incorrect, Coulter accused NRO of censorship and said she was paid $5 per article. NRO dropped her column and terminated her editorship. Jonah Goldberg, the editor-at-large of NRO, said: "We did not 'fire' Ann for what she wrote... we ended the relationship because she behaved with a total lack of professionalism, friendship, and loyalty [concerning the editing disagreement]."{{cite news|url=http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/220676/laffaire-coulter/jonah-goldberg |title=L'Affaire Coulter |last=Goldberg |first=Jonah |date=October 2, 2001 |work=National Review |access-date=November 5, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140901162828/http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/220676/laffaire-coulter/jonah-goldberg |archive-date=September 1, 2014}}

Coulter supported the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling, which overturned the Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey precedent, because she does not believe in a right to privacy. She believes abortion is a states' rights issue and opposes federal government regulating both for and against abortion. She describes herself as an "anti-abortion zealot". She described banning most abortions after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy as "shockingly reasonable".[https://anncoulter.com/2022/05/04/alito-will-save-lives-not-biden/ ALITO WILL SAVE LIVES, NOT BIDEN] She believes abortion, excluding abortion exceptions in cases of fetal impairment, rape and danger to a woman's life or health, should be illegal in most other cases.{{cite news|title=Don't Blame Romney|url=http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2012-11-07.html|access-date=January 31, 2013|publisher=anncoulter.com|date=November 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130121210124/http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2012-11-07.html|archive-date=2013-01-21|url-status=live}}{{cite news |last1=Boboltz |first1=Sara |title=Ann Coulter Joins Critics Of Texas' Brutal Anti-Abortion Decision |url=https://news.yahoo.com/ann-coulter-joins-critics-texas-225942508.html |access-date=30 December 2023 |work=HuffPost | via=Yahoo News |date=12 December 2023}}

In an October 2003 C-SPAN debate, Coulter said there was nothing in the US Constitution about same-sex marriage and that she did not think she had taken a position yet on the issue of same-sex marriage. When asked, hypothetically, as Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) judge, if she would overturn a state statutorily legalizing same-sex marriage, she said she would not. When asked if she would support a federal U.S. constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman, she said she did not because she thought it was pointless as SCOTUS wasn't correctly interpreting the constitution as it is according to her."Supreme Court and Constitutional Authority." *C-SPAN*, October 2003.

In Coulter's 2007 book If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans, in the chapter "Gays: No Gay Left Behind!", she argued that Republican policies were more pro-gay than Democratic policies.

She boasted how she talked GOProud into dropping its support for same-sex marriage in the party's platform, saying, "The left is trying to co-opt gays, and I don't think we should let them.

Political activities and commentary

{{update|date=March 2018}}

Ann Coulter has described herself as a "polemicist" who likes to "stir up the pot" and does not "pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do".{{cite news|url=http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/April06/coulter.pre.dea.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060430010955/http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/April06/coulter.pre.dea.html |archive-date=April 30, 2006 |title=Conservative pundit Ann Coulter '84 to speak May 7 |last=Aloi |first=Daniel |date=April 17, 2006 |publisher=Cornell University |access-date=September 27, 2011 }} While her political activities in the past have included advising a plaintiff suing President Bill Clinton as well as considering a run for Congress, she mostly serves as a political pundit, sometimes creating controversy ranging from rowdy uprisings at some of the colleges where she speaks to protracted discussions in the media.

Time magazine's John Cloud once observed that Coulter "likes to shock reporters by wondering aloud whether America might be better off if women lost the right to vote". This was in reference to her statement that "it would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950—except Goldwater in '64—the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted." Similarly, in an October 2007 interview with The New York Observer, Coulter said:{{cite news|last=Gurley|first=George|title=Coulter Culture|url=http://www.observer.com/2007/coulter-culture|access-date=September 27, 2011|newspaper=The New York Observer|date=October 2, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112214238/http://www.observer.com/2007/coulter-culture|archive-date=November 12, 2011}}

{{blockquote|If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it's the party of women and 'We'll pay for health care and tuition and day care—and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?'}}

Coulter has also appeared on Fox News and advocated for a poll tax and a literacy test for voters (this was in 1999, and she reiterated her support of a literacy test in 2015).{{Cite book|title=Plutocrats United: Campaign Money, the Supreme Court, and the Distortion of American Elections|last=Hasen|first=Richard L.|publisher=Yale University Press|year=2016|isbn=978-0-300-21245-7|location=New Haven, CT|page=66}}

=Paula Jones – Bill Clinton case=

Coulter first became a public figure shortly before becoming an unpaid legal adviser for the attorneys representing Paula Jones in her sexual harassment suit against President Bill Clinton. Coulter's friend George Conway had been asked to assist Jones' attorneys, and shortly afterward Coulter, who wrote a column about the Paula Jones case for Human Events, was also asked to help, and she began writing legal briefs for the case.

Coulter later stated that she would come to mistrust the motives of Jones' head lawyer, Joseph Cammaratta, who by August or September 1997 was advising Jones that her case was weak and to settle, if a favorable settlement could be negotiated. From the outset, Jones had sought an apology from Clinton at least as eagerly as she sought a settlement.Barak, Daphne. "[http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/1998/09/23/fhead.htm Jones would have been happy with an apology]". Irish Examiner. September 23, 1998. Retrieved July 10, 2006. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120812211212/http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/1998/09/23/fhead.htm |date=August 12, 2012}} However, in a later interview Coulter recounted that she herself had believed that the case was strong, that Jones was telling the truth, that Clinton should be held publicly accountable for his misconduct, and that a settlement would give the impression that Jones was merely interested in extorting money from the President.

David Daley, who wrote the interview piece for The Hartford Courant recounted what followed:

{{blockquote|Coulter played one particularly key role in keeping the Jones case alive. In Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff's new book Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story, Coulter is unmasked as the one who leaked word of Clinton's "distinguishing characteristic"—his reportedly bent penis that Jones said she could recognize and describe—to the news media. Her hope was to foster mistrust between the Clinton and Jones camps and forestall a settlement ... I thought if I leaked the distinguishing characteristic it would show bad faith in negotiations. [Clinton lawyer] Bob Bennett would think Jones had leaked it. Cammaratta would know he himself hadn't leaked it and would get mad at Bennett. It might stall negotiations enough for me to get through to [Jones adviser] Susan Carpenter-McMillan to tell her that I thought settling would hurt Paula, that this would ruin her reputation, and that there were other lawyers working for her. Then 36 hours later, she returned my phone call. I just wanted to help Paula. I really think Paula Jones is a hero. I don't think I could have taken the abuse she came under. She's this poor little country girl and she has the most powerful man she's ever met hitting on her sexually, then denying it and smearing her as president. And she never did anything tacky. It's not like she was going on TV or trying to make a buck out of it."}}

In his book, Isikoff also reported Coulter as saying: "We were terrified that Jones would settle. It was contrary to our purpose of bringing down the President."Conason, Joe; Lyons, Gene. "[http://archive.salon.com/news/feature/2000/03/04/willey/print.html Impeachment's little elves]". Salon. March 4, 2000.

{{blockquote|The only motive for leaking the distinguishing characteristic item that [Isikoff] gives in his book is my self-parodying remark that "it would humiliate the president" and that a settlement would foil our efforts to bring down the president ... I suppose you could take the position, as [Isikoff] does, that we were working for Jones because we thought Clinton was a lecherous, lying scumbag, but this argument gets a bit circular. You could also say that Juanita Broaddrick's secret motive in accusing Clinton of rape is that she hates Clinton because he raped her. The whole reason we didn't much like Clinton was that we could see he was the sort of man who would haul a low-level government employee like Paula to his hotel room, drop his pants, and say, "Kiss it." You know: Everything his defense said about him at the impeachment trial. It's not like we secretly disliked Clinton because of his administration's position on California's citrus cartels or something, and then set to work on some crazy scheme to destroy him using a pathological intern as our Mata Hari.Coulter, Ann (May 1999). "Spikey and me". George.}}

The case went to court after Jones broke with Coulter and her original legal team, and it was dismissed via summary judgment. The judge ruled that even if her allegations proved true, Jones did not show that she had suffered any damages, stating, "... plaintiff has not demonstrated any tangible job detriment or adverse employment action for her refusal to submit to the governor's alleged advances. The president is therefore entitled to summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of quid pro quo sexual harassment." The ruling was appealed by Jones' lawyers. During the pendency of the appeal, Clinton settled with Jones for $850,000 ($151,000 after legal fees) in November 1998, in exchange for Jones' dismissal of the appeal. By then, the Jones lawsuit had given way to the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal.

In October 2000, Jones revealed that she would pose for nude pictures in an adult magazine, saying she wanted to use the money to pay taxes and support her grade-school-aged children, in particular saying, "I'm wanting to put them through college and maybe set up a college fund."Jones, Paula.

These comments resulted in Coulter being fired as a columnist by National Review, which she subsequently referred to as "squeamish girly-boys".{{cite journal |title=Rough Sailing for the New Darling on the Racial Right |journal=The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education |date=2001 |issue=34 |page=44 |id={{ProQuest|195525219}} |jstor=3134110}} Responding to this comment, Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American–Islamic Relations remarked in the Chicago Sun-Times that before September 11, Coulter "would have faced swift repudiation from her colleagues", but "now it's accepted as legitimate commentary".Jim Ritter, "Muslims see a growing media bias", Chicago Sun-Times, September 4, 2006

One day after the attacks (when death toll estimates were higher than later), Coulter asserted that only Muslims could have been behind them: "Not all Muslims may be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims—at least all terrorists capable of assembling a murderous plot against America that leaves 7,000 people dead in under two hours."{{cite web |url=http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/coulter092801.asp |author=Coulter, Ann |title= Future widows of America: Write your congressman |work=Jewish World Review |access-date=April 16, 2007 |date=September 28, 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070416152942/http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/coulter092801.asp |archive-date=April 16, 2007 |url-status=live}}

Coulter also cited the 2002 Senate testimony of FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley, who was acclaimed for condemning her superiors for refusing to authorize a search warrant for 9-11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui when he refused to consent to a search of his computer. They knew that he was a Muslim in flight school who had overstayed his visa, and the French Intelligence Service had confirmed his affiliations with radical fundamentalist Islamic groups. Coulter said she agreed that probable cause existed in the case, but that refusing consent, being in flight school and overstaying a visa should not constitute grounds for a search. Citing a poll which found that 98 percent of Muslims between the ages of 20 and 45 said they would not fight for Britain in the war in Afghanistan, and that 48 percent said they would fight for Osama bin Laden she asserted "any Muslim who has attended a mosque in Europe—certainly in England, where Moussaoui lived—has had 'affiliations with radical fundamentalist Islamic groups,'" so that she parsed Rowley's position as meaning that {{"'}}probable cause' existed to search Moussaoui's computer because he was a Muslim who had lived in England". Coulter says the poll was "by The Daily Telegraph", actually it was by Sunrise, an "Asian" (therefore an Indian subcontinent-oriented) radio station, canvassing the opinions of 500 Muslims in Greater London (not Britain as a whole), mainly of Pakistani origin and aged between 20 and 45.

Coulter wrote in another column that she had reviewed the civil rights lawsuits against certain airlines to determine which of them had subjected Arabs to the most "egregious discrimination" so that she could fly only that airline.

(Coulter quipped that Fluke didn't need birth control pills because "that haircut is birth control enough".)

= Plagiarism accusations =

In October 2001, Coulter was accused of plagiarism for her 1998 book High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton by Michael Chapman, a columnist for the journal Human Events who claims that passages were taken from a supplement he wrote for the journal in 1997 titled "A Case for Impeachment".

On the July 5, 2006, episode of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, guest John Barrie, the CEO of iParadigms, offered his professional opinion that Coulter plagiarized in her book Godless as well as in her columns over the previous year.{{cite news|last=Dietz|first=Rob|url=https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2006/07/06/olbermann-hosted-plagiarism-expert-to-spell-out/136106|title=Olbermann hosted plagiarism expert to spell out allegations against Coulter|work=Media Matters for America|date=July 6, 2006|access-date=August 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180831035315/https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2006/07/06/olbermann-hosted-plagiarism-expert-to-spell-out/136106|archive-date=2018-08-31}} Barrie ran "Godless" through iThenticate, his company's machine, which is able to scan works and compare them to existing texts. He found a 25-word section of the text that was "virtually word-for-word" matched with a Planned Parenthood pamphlet and a 33-word section almost duplicating a 1999 article from the Portland Press as some examples of evidence. Barrie also said that it was "very, very difficult to try to determine whether Ann Coulter was citing that material or whether she was just trying to pass it off".

Columnist Bill Nemitz from the Portland Press Herald accused Coulter of plagiarizing a very specific sentence from his newspaper in her book Godless, but he also acknowledged that one sentence is insufficient grounds for filing suit.{{cite news |title=Wonder how Ann Coulter fills her books? |last=Nemitz |first=Bill |date=July 23, 2006 |work=Portland Press Herald }}

Coulter has been engaged several times, but she has never married and has no children. After the September 11 attacks, she dated a Muslim boyfriend.{{cite video |people=Ann Coulter |date=August 18, 2024 |title=Ann Coulter Speaks on Liberals, Islam, and More |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IASCrYuUg1k |access-date=August 29, 2024 |publisher=Conservative News |location=YouTube}} She has dated Spin founder and publisher Bob Guccione Jr. and conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza.{{cite news|url=https://observer.com/2002/08/coultergeist|title=Coultergeist|last=Gurley|first=George|date=August 25, 2002|work=The New York Observer|access-date=June 28, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110809164155/http://www.observer.com/2002/08/coultergeist/|archive-date=August 9, 2011|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Peretz|first=Evgenia|date=2015-04-09|title=Get a Rare Glimpse of Dinesh D'Souza's Life After Conviction|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/04/dinesh-dsouza-video-life-after-conviction|access-date=2021-08-12|website=Vanity Fair|language=en-US}} In October 2007, she began dating Andrew Stein, the former president of the New York City Council, a liberal Democrat. On January 7, 2008, however, Stein told the New York Post that the relationship was over, citing irreconcilable differences.{{cite web|url=http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2008/01/split_ann_coulter_and_andrew_s.html|title=SPLIT!!!!!

Coulter responded to the rumors by saying "He’s the one spreading that [dating] rumor! No, we’re great friends. We do a lot of stuff together. … He is so hilarious, so I see him a lot when I’m in L.A., but we are not technically dating.” In 2017, Norman Lear, who created the television sitcom Good Times in which Walker starred, said of Walker "I love him; he’s a wonderful guy. But I’ll tell you something about him that’ll astound you: He dates Ann Coulter.” Coulter responded to Lear's comments by saying "This rumor spreads every now and then, but it’s never been true. We’re great friends. He’s hilarious and a Republican. Now, that’s news!”{{Cite web |last=Clarendon|first=Dan|date=2020-12-08 |title=Ann Coulter Has Good Times, Not Romance, With 'Good Times' Star Jimmie Walker |url=https://www.distractify.com/p/ann-coulter-husband|access-date=2024-08-11 |website=distractify.com|language=en-US}}

Kellyanne Conway, who refers to Coulter as a friend, told New York magazine in 2017 that Coulter "started dating her security guard probably ten years ago because she couldn't see anybody else".{{cite web|url=http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/kellyanne-conway-trumps-first-lady.html|title=Kellyanne Conway Is the Real First Lady of Trump's America|first=Olivia|last=Nuzzi|date=March 18, 2017|access-date=March 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170320193646/http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/03/kellyanne-conway-trumps-first-lady.html|archive-date=March 20, 2017|url-status=live}}
