Ann Coulter tweeted early Friday morning that former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was the source of the Democratic National Committee leaks and threw her followers into a frenzy in the process.

Coulter claimed that two sources informed her of Sanders’ participation, adding that “it was communists who leaked, not former communists.”
Two sources claim it was Sanders-supporting Dems who leaked to Wikileaks not Russia. So it was communists who leaked, not former communists.

Most of the responses to Coulter’s tweet took a similar stance as that of the conservative pundit.
@AnnCoulter Doesn’t matter who leaked them. Hillary WROTE them.

Yet others took issue with her claim.
@AnnCoulter Why are you so protective of the Russian claims, Ann? Your boy Trump lies about knowing Putin. Why would he do that pic.twitter.com/2kxVB1x4qb

@AnnCoulter Just two sources? When you are making things up, go wild. 73 sources. Or, just name your two mysterious sources.

@AnnCoulter Infowars and Breitbart aren’t “sources”.

@AnnCoulter I wonder if you are flagged as false news by Facebook and PolitiFact now. I sure hope so.
