Conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter during a contentious interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan Wednesday night revealed that Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is her “favorite Democrat.”

Her comments were made during a larger discussion on the GOP, its supposedly low polling numbers, and freshman Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Coulter believes recent polls that show low approval ratings for the GOP are “pure propaganda” and said that Republicans needs to follow through on their fights with Democrats. She cited freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as an example of a principled fighter within the GOP.
