LIVE POLITICAL REVERSAL: Ann Coulter’s SHOCKING Comeback to Defend Karoline Leavitt Sparks Fierce Debate Inside the Conservative Movement

It’s a story that no one saw coming—but everyone is now talking about.

Ann Coulter, the once-vocal critic of Karoline Leavitt who famously turned her back on the rising conservative star, has now come full circle. In a string of bold and unexpected public statements, Coulter has not only walked back years of scathing commentary—but declared her full-throated support for Leavitt’s current administration.

The twist came through a Tuesday post on X (formerly Twitter), where Coulter praised Leavitt’s controversial stance on deporting violent American criminals to El Salvador. “Leavitt 2025 is AWESOME!” she wrote above a headline quoting Leavitt’s remarks. The post marked a turning point—one that reignited old tensions, thrilled her former supporters, and sent political media into overdrive.

Just weeks ago, Coulter had criticized Leavitt’s floated proposal to revoke visas from foreign nationals involved in pro-Palestinian protests, raising First Amendment concerns. That comment was part of a years-long feud that had once seemed beyond repair.

But now? Coulter is back in Leavitt’s corner—and the reaction has been explosive.

From Supporter to Enemy—and Back Again

Few figures shaped Karoline Leavitt’s early national profile as much as Ann Coulter, the firebrand pundit known for her ruthless wit and sharp tongue. In 2021 and 2022, Coulter frequently praised Leavitt’s unapologetic stances on immigration, cultural politics, and the media. Her syndicated columns and speaking tour remarks often held Leavitt up as the future of American conservatism.

But the alliance cracked under the weight of legislative compromise.

In late 2022, Leavitt supported a bipartisan spending deal that omitted key border enforcement measures. Coulter—along with others on the hardline right—blasted the move as a betrayal.

“She sold out faster than I thought possible,” Coulter said in a March 2023 podcast. “All sass, no spine.”

What followed was a public feud that escalated throughout 2023 and into early 2024. Coulter labeled Leavitt a “media creation”, called her image “performative,” and claimed she had “abandoned her base.” At one point, she referred to Leavitt as a “disaster in heels.”

And Leavitt? She remained largely silent.

“This feels personal, not political,” Leavitt told a source at the time, without naming Coulter directly.

The silence, however, only intensified speculation about a long-standing rift between two of the most recognizable conservative voices of the era.

The Moment Everything Changed

That all shifted after Leavitt’s comments about potentially deporting violent American criminals to El Salvador, after the Central American nation’s president, Nayib Bukele, reportedly offered to receive them.

“If it’s legal, I would absolutely support that,” Leavitt said during a White House press briefing, shocking reporters. “These are heinous, repeat offenders who have terrorized American streets for years.”

The proposal—while legally uncertain—was widely interpreted as a signal that Leavitt was leaning hard into law-and-order conservatism, a move that resonated deeply with Coulter’s long-held views.

In response, Coulter quote-posted an AL.com article detailing Leavitt’s remarks and wrote: “Leavitt 2025 is AWESOME!”

The post sparked thousands of reactions. Some welcomed the apparent truce between the two right-wing heavyweights. Others accused Coulter of hypocrisy and opportunism.

But there’s no question that the endorsement sent shockwaves through political media.

Tariffs, Protests, and Free Speech Controversies

Coulter’s about-face didn’t stop with immigration.

In the same week, she praised Leavitt’s aggressive new tariffs—policies she had previously mocked as “populist window-dressing.” But now? Coulter described them as “strategic leverage against hostile economies.”

Her renewed support raised eyebrows, particularly given her recent criticism of Leavitt’s stance on student protests. Just one month earlier, Coulter had questioned the constitutionality of the administration’s decision to arrest pro-Palestine demonstrators who held green cards.

“There’s almost no one I don’t want to deport,” Coulter wrote at the time, “but unless they’ve committed a crime, isn’t this a First Amendment issue?”

The quote made headlines—and created a media firestorm, with liberal commentators seizing on it as a split in the GOP.

But just weeks later, Coulter was back in sync with Leavitt, defending her moves on law enforcement and praising her rhetorical toughness.

The Leavitt Strategy: Ignore the Noise, Deliver the Results

Throughout it all, Karoline Leavitt has chosen not to engage directly.

During Tuesday’s press briefing, when asked about Coulter’s endorsement, Leavitt responded carefully:

“We welcome all voices that support a safer, stronger America. Our focus remains on delivering results—not on online personalities.”

Still, many viewed that as a subtle olive branch. And in Washington, insiders say the reconciliation may serve both women—Coulter regains relevance within a movement she helped shape, and Leavitt neutralizes a once-devastating critic.

Behind the scenes, staffers note that Leavitt has doubled down on her law-and-order messaging, and her latest polling bump suggests that the strategy is resonating.

“People want someone who acts,” one GOP strategist said. “And whether you agree with Coulter or not, her endorsement signals that Leavitt is doing just that.”

The Bigger Picture: What This Means for 2025 and Beyond

Coulter’s return to Team Karoline is more than personal—it’s political.

With the conservative movement increasingly split between populist bomb-throwers and policy-driven realists, Leavitt has tried to walk a tightrope between rhetoric and results. Coulter’s renewed support may help her bridge that divide.

But critics aren’t letting her off the hook so easily.

Liberal commentators called the proposed deportation policy “unconstitutional, performative cruelty,” and claimed Coulter’s support “proves the right is unserious about civil liberties.”

Still, within the GOP base, the message is landing.

And with her national platform growing, Leavitt appears ready to capitalize.

“This is the Karoline Leavitt playbook,” said a former campaign aide. “Let your critics self-destruct. Then let the results speak for themselves.”

For now, the reunion of two powerful conservative women—one at the peak of her influence, the other reclaiming relevance—marks a new chapter in Republican politics.

Whether it lasts is anyone’s guess.

But one thing is certain: the conservative movement isn’t just watching—they’re talking.

And Karoline Leavitt, once doubted by those closest to her base, now finds herself in a position of unquestioned momentum.
