Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter accused President Barack Obama of leading "a very racially agitating presidency" Monday, saying he's playing a role in the anti-police sentiment that is enveloping the country.
"I think Obama actually does have something to do with at least what's happening in Milwaukee," Coulter said on "The Howie Carr Show," which airs on Newsmax TV weekdays from 4-5 p.m. ET.
"He has really run a very racially agitating presidency, from attacking that cop up in Cambridge to all of these speeches citing statistics that he knows are irrelevant or untrue, as does Hillary, about the shockingly high percentage of young black men in prison — as if the number of people in prison ought to be the same as their representation in the population," Coulter added.
"No, we want to compare it to the crime rate, not the numbers in the population.
"If you don't want to get beaten up or shot by cops, don't resist."

Coulter said part of the problem lies in federal programs signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the mid-1960s that provide financial aid to unmarried women with children. That, Coulter said, has led to "illegitimacy."
"The Black Lives Matter mothers that Hillary Clinton brought onstage at the Democratic National Convention. Most of them had names different from their little snowflakes, as was true with the armed, criminal record, black male running from the police with a gun in Milwaukee who was shot," Coulter said.
"They bring out the mother and, huh, that's interesting. Different last name. I think we have an idea what the problem is here. We have an idea from 50 years of illegitimacy leading to utterly dysfunctional individuals.
"And as I pointed out in my book "Mugged" about racial demagoguery, I think this can't be said often enough, according to the liberal Urban Institute, if you remove the factor of illegitimacy, the difference in the black and white crime rate goes away."
