NEW YORK Appearing on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC show The Big Idea on Monday, columnist and author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren’t any Jewish people—and that they should “perfect” themselves into Christians.

This led Deutsch to suggest that surely she couldn’t mean that, and when she insisted she did, he said it sounded “anti-Semitic.”

Adweek spoke to the talk show host and agency exec today about the controversy.
