Hillary Clinton is rushing to the defenses of four 9/11 widows, which Ann Coulter portrays in her new book as money hungry women, who are happy with the death of their husbands, the Associated Press reports.

Coulter, an American right winger, says in her new book, “Godless the Church of Liberalism,” that the widows in New Jersey ? specifically Kristen Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg and Patty Casazza ? are acting “as if the terrorist attacks only happened to them.” She also dubs the four women the “witches of East Brunswick” (which is the town the women live in).

“Perhaps her book should have been called ‘Heartless.’ I know a lot of the widows and family members who lost loved ones on 9/11. They never wanted to be a member of a group that is defined by the tragedy of what happened,” Clinton said in response to Coulter’s comments.

The four women also put out a statement after Coulter’s appearance on the “Today” show today saying, “We have been slandered. Contrary to Ms. Coulter’s statements, there was no joy in watching men that we loved burn alive. There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again. We adored these men and miss them every day.”
