Experts have pointed to climate change as a direct cause of the storm.
Most of us will solemnly nod our heads on reading such an argument. But not Ann Coulter
The right-wing commentator managed, in one sentence, to rubbish climate change and reunite that old argument that homosexuals can cause bad weather.
She tweeted that it's more credible that Houston electing a lesbian mayor is more likely to be the cause of the storm than climate change.
Oh wait, "climate change" - We can't miss off those all-important quotation marks Coulter used.
Annise Parker was one of the first openly gay mayors in a major US city, and served from 2010 – 2016.
People are quite frankly baffled at the sentiment.
