As South Carolina voters went to the polls on Saturday, Republican presidential contender Marco Rubio was hit with a wave of attacks from critics.
Chief among them was right-of-center author and pundit Ann Coulter, who unleashed an intense rant on social media.
Rubio came in second to front-runner Donald Trump, which apparently didn’t sit well with Coulter, who celebrated her candidate’s win by joking about the Florida senator’s deceased father:
Could someone please have Marco's bartender dad make me a mojito? I'd like to toast Trump's amazing victory!

Twitter users jumped on the “classless” joke. Here’s a sample:
@un9901 @AnnCoulter Nope. If you want to keep up that story over
& over & over & over, then you've opened yourself up to the criticism.— Rich DeOnofrio (@RDeOnofrio) February 21, 2016

@AnnCoulter You do realize his father passed away a while ago, right?

Marco's father died six years ago. Keep it classy, Ann. @AnnCoulter @JeniferStevens

The conservative bomb thrower’s earlier twitter rant centered around comments Rubio made three days ago at a CNN town hall about experiencing racism first hand as a child in Nevada and for saying the country should recognize that others have had a similar experience.
Coulter said Rubio runs an “anti-white men campaign” and suggested that this somehow links to white men committing suicide.
But that wasn’t the half of it, as seen here:
On CNN townhall, Rubio claims he’s been the victim of “racism” in the U.S. then talks about the blemishes on “our” country.
