NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – “The media was consumed with stories about Americans have to be on the lookout for ISIS attacks and terror attack expected and, oooh, shark attacks, but I will bet you by the end of the weekend more Americans will have been killed by Mexicans than by ISIS or by sharks.”

With those words, conservative columnist Ann Coulter announced on FOX News that she was running for president of the United States –  the 15th (or 16th, we can’t keep count) Republican — and the first woman — to do so.

She follows in the footsteps of Donald Trump, who in announcing his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, attacked Mexicans, calling them “rapists, drug addicts and criminals.” Apparently, Trump’s campaign strategy worked. He now leads all Republican candidates in the polls.

Coulter hopes that she, too, will surge in the polls with her comments about Mexicans.

In the course of its investigation for this news story, The Adobo Chronicles®  uncovered a little known fact that Coulter once applied to join the Miss USA contest in the hopes of becoming Miss Universe. Her application was denied by no less than pageant owner Trump.
