Why Do Republican Officials Keep Partnering With Christian-Nation Extremist David Lane?
On Saturday, June 13, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will host a day-long, Christians-only prayer rally organized by political operative David Lane. Lane, who organized similar events for Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, is trying to recruit 1,000 conservative evangelical pastors to run for office, which he believes would mobilize hundreds of thousands of election volunteers and lead to conservative election victories in 2016. http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/why-do-republican-officials-keep-partnering-with-christian-nation-extremist-david-lane/
If that comparison seems unfair, just watch the trailer for D’Souza’s 2016 film, Hillary’s America:
It references D'Souza's past conviction for violating campaign finance law (for which Trump is pardoning him), portraying his prosecution as a politically motivated witch hunt, and seeks to tie the current Democratic party to the Ku Klux Klan and slaveowners (Democrats were historically the pro-segregation, pro-slavery party until the parties flipped on race around 1964).
It features a cameo from Jonah Goldberg, the National Review writer best known for his universally discredited attempt .. http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/122231 .. to equate New Deal liberalism with European fascism. It's peppered with over-the-top voiceovers by D'Souza — "What are these Democrats hiding?"; "What if the goal of the Democratic party is to steal the most valuable thing the world has ever produced? What if their plan is to steal America?" — over an ominous, melodramatic score.
This kind of silliness and purposeful provocation on race is D'Souza's bread and butter. See this tweet from 2015:
