Comedian Elizabeth Booker Houston's angry attack on Ann Coulter goes viral

A comedian and legal content writer covering the final day of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday went viral after brutally criticizing Ann Coulter for calling vice presidential nominee Tim Walz's son, Gus Walz, “weird.” And now she tells the Daily Beast that she's “always hated” the conservative provocateur.

Elizabeth Booker Houston posted a video on TikTok in which she coldly addressed Coulter and joked that the far-right commentator looked like she had “died 10 years ago.”

“And still decomposing and dyeing her hair with peroxide in the damn sink. What the hell do you know about raising children, okay?” she asked in the video. “Childless monkey women for Trump, that's what you are.”

Houston, who describes herself as a “survivor of the legal profession” and “public health lover,” said the release of the clip led to a “huge increase in followers” on X. On TikTok, the clip has been shared over 50,000 times.

Actress Bette Middler also used the clip to respond to Coulter, simply tweeting “WELL!!” at X.

In an email to the Daily Beast, Houston said the clip's popularity helped her sell more tickets to an upcoming comedy show. And there will be more of her to come.

“This isn't my first clapback video and it certainly won't be my last,” she said. “I'm always happy when a video like this gets a lot of attention, but I hope the new followers will stick around for my other political and legal content as well.”

She added: “I always try to be entertaining, but I also want to be informative.”

When asked about her past with Coulter, Houston replied, “Yeah, I always hated Ann Coulter. The only good thing she ever did was give The Boondocks an idea for a bad-ass episode.”

Houston confirmed her sudden rise in popularity, writing on X: “Holy shit I gained a ton of followers today. Y'all really hate Ann Coulter too, huh?”
