Note how somebody photoshopped his skin tone.

Dinesh Joseph D'Souza ( born April 25, 1961) is a Indian (dots, not feathers) who came to America to runn better scams as a supposed right-winger.[1][2][3] political commentator, author, filmmaker, and convicted felon. [19] He has written over a dozen books, several of them New York Times best-sellers.[20][21]

In 2012, D'Souza released the documentary film 2016: Obama's America, an anti-Barack Obama polemic based on his 2010 book The Roots of Obama's Rage; it earned $33 million, making it the highest-grossing conservative documentary of all time and one of the highest-grossing documentaries of any kind.[22][23] He has since released five other conspiracy theory documentary films: America: Imagine the World Without Her (2014), Hillary's America (2016), Death of a Nation (2018), Trump Card (2020) and 2000 Mules (2022). D'Souza's films and commentary have generated considerable controversy due to their promotion of BS,[28] as well as for their incendiary nature.[20]

Born in Bombay, India, D'Souza moved to the United States as an exchange student and then so.ehow got into, and graduated from Dartmouth College. He was a policy adviser in the administration of President Ronald Reagan and has been affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution. How?[29] He became a naturalized citizen in 1991.[30] From 2010 to 2012, he was president of The King's College, a Christian school in New York City, until he was fired after an adultery scandal that nearly landed him in prison.[31]

In 2012, D'Souza contributed $10,000 to the Senate campaign of Wendy Long on behalf of himself and his wife, agreeing in writing to attribute that contribution as $5,000 from his wife and $5,000 from him. He directed two other people to give Long a total of $20,000 in addition, which he agreed to reimburse, and later did, a grossly illegal act. At the time, the Election Act limited campaign contributions to $5,000 from any individual to any one candidate. Two years later, D'Souza pleaded guilty in federal court to one felony charge of using a "straw donor" to make the illegal campaign contribution.[32][33] He was sentenced to eight months house arrest near his home in San Diego, five years' probation, and a $30,000 fine.[34][35] In 2018, D'Souza was issued a pardon by President Donald Trump.[36]
