Conservative Australian commentator Andrew Bolt has been rendered speechless by right-wing American political pundit Ann Coulter.
Coulter, a right-wing supporter of Donald Trump, appeared on The Bolt Report on Monday evening to discuss the American political race.
During the interview she called the father of fallen soldier Captain Humayun Khan a 'snarling Muslim', after his impassioned speech at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia last month.

Towards the end of the interview Bolt asked Coulter about Trump's criticism of Khan's parents and their heated address earlier this year.
The billionaire businessmen went after the couple publicly, even claiming Khan's father Khizr Khan had done all the talking because his mother 'wasn't allowed'.
'That still leaves the case of the Muslim parents of the soldier who died, I just don't think you criticise the parents, any parents of a soldier who died in battle,' Bolt said.
'No I totally disagree... No I totally disagree on that one,' Coulter replied.
She went on to explain that there was a 'method to his (Trump's) madness' and accused the media of launching an 'endless attack on Trump'.
'I don't know America very well if they want to listen to a snarling Muslim lecture them and tell us we're not allowed to have opinions on important public policy issues unless we had a son die in Iraq,' Coulter said.
A usually vocal Bolt was left speechless by her response.
KHIZR KHAN'S SPEECH
Father of Captain Humayun Khan, Khizr Khan, spoke at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia last month.
During a fiery speech he attacked Donald Trump, saying that if it was up to the billionaire, his son never would have been American or served in the military.
After Khan's speech, Trump attacked the family once again claiming Khan had done all the talking because his mother 'wasn't allowed'.

In July, Pakistan-born Khizr Khan made headlines after he fiercely attacked Trump at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.
He said that if it was up to Trump, his son never would have been American or served in the military.
Khan said that Hillary Clinton, by contrast, 'called my son the best of America.'
Captain Humayun Khan died in 2004 aged 27, when a car loaded with explosives blew up at his compound.
