What role did Ann Coulter play in Sharknado 3?

The now-62-year-old celebrity was seen playing the role of Sonia Buck, who was tasked with managing the kind of international crises that had occurred in the movie. The franchise revolves around shark-filled tornadoes that cause havoc in the community, with the crux of the responsibility for disaster management falling on the vice president’s shoulders.

In the movie, Ann Coulter was seen giving out a range of executive orders. This included an order which revolved around building a fence around the country, to keep not just the sharks out, but also ‘illegals.’ Coulter’s character played off her real-life persona, as fans saw her in the role of a provocative political figure.

Coulter herself said the following about her role, suggesting that she had a ball of a time shooting the movie:

"There were no actual sharks, or models of sharks, used during filming. So we were all running from nothing,"

Coulter is a major political figure and has thus far not acted in any other project, in addition to Sharknado 3.
