Conservative media personality Ann Coulter is facing backlash on social media after calling the NYPD “little girls” on Twitter following the terror attack in Paris.
Coulter tweeted that Paris police were “very macho, unlike the little girls on NYPD,” after a man attacked an officer with a hammer outside Notre Dame Tuesday. The officer is recovering and the suspect is being treated at a hospital while under police surveillance.
