Ann Coulter said she thinks there should be more journalists put in jail during her appearance at the annual CPAC conference on Saturday. Coulter's comments came during a response to a question from a woman in the audience. The woman initially asked Coulter why she and other Republicans had championed free elections in Iraq but were warning about them in Egypt.
"You don't go around disturbing countries where you have a loyal ally," Coulter responded.
"What is more important though to American values--being friends with israel still or knowing there are jailed dissidents and journalists [in Egypt]?" the woman asked.
"What do you mean knowing that there are jailed journalists?" Coulter said. "I think there should be more jailed journalists." This prompted a huge round of applause from the crowd.
