Another controversial comment strikes again. On a 2015 episode of The View, Ann Coulter stopped by to discuss immigration issues in America. When Coulter stated that settlers "founded America, not immigrants," Raven-Symoné attempted to shut down the conservative pundit. The attempt backfired. According to Vulture, Raven said, "My mom taught me when I was younger, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all." And then, the Disney Channel star asked, "Why do you think it's important to mudsling?"
"Well, I'm at least talking about policy," Coulter replied. "You have a position on what people's names should be. 'Watermelondrea'...I mean, you'll insult people for their names. I'm talking about a government policy that affects all Americans and immigrants and people living here and it's harming our country. So you don't follow it."
The political commentator's retort refers to remarks Raven made about workplace discrimination and candidates' names earlier that month. On the October 8, 2015 episode of The View, Raven said, "I'm not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. It's just not gonna happen. I'm not gonna hire you." To no surprise, she received backlash for her comments. Raven issued a statement on her Facebook page, noting that the "comment was in poor taste."
