Can I Give You a Hug?': Watch How Ann Coulter Reacts When Immigration Activist Asks for a Hug

Ann Coulter denied a hug to an immigration activist Tuesday during a question and answer session following an interview ahead of her upcoming new book.

"Can I give you a hug?" audience member Gaby Pacheco, who came to the U.S. illegally, asked Coulter.

"I wouldn't today. I'm recovering from the worst flu I've ever had," Coulter said before letting out a few audible coughs.

"It's okay," Pacheco pressed. "This undocumented immigrant who has lived in this nation for almost 22 years, wants to as a sign of my humanity and yours, recognize you and say, 'Can I give you a hug?'"

Coulter passed.

"No, let's get on with the question," the conservative pundit said.

Coulter made news during her interview with Fusion when she doubled down on her remark that immigrants from Mexico pose a greater danger to America than the Islamic State terror group.
