A prominent American political commentator has accused the Republican presidential candidates of pandering to Jews.

During last night’s televised debate between the 11 main candidates for the 2016 election, Ann Coulter, a conservative pundit and author, tweeted to her 660,000 followers: “How many f---ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?”

In a separate tweet, she replied: “Maybe it's to suck up to the Evangelicals.”

Earlier, she had responded to a speech by Mike Huckabee by tweeting: “Good grief! Huckabee is running for PM of Israel,” and followed this up by observing that “Cruz, Huckabee Rubio all mentioned ISRAEL in their response to: "What will AMERICA look like after you are president.” She later added New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to this list.
