Dinesh DSouza gets booted from Conservative Political Action Conference shindig

After Dinesh D’Souza’s disgusting tweets going after teenage survivors of a school shooting, people genuinely wondered if D’Souza was lined up to speak at CPAC this week. The organization says he is and was not.

The Speakers page has D’Souza’s photo on it, but CPAC’s Twitter account says that’s from the archives, they’re taking it down, and his comments today are abhorrent:

He tweeted this today after FL legislature vote:

(...and is trending at #1 and getting hammered)

Making one stupid, insensitive remark is one thing but several of them signals the hostility he has for them. They just went through a traumatic event and some lost their classmates and friends. Yet he still cannot control his hatred towards them who just wish that these events don't happen again. Something has to be really wrong with you to gloat like this and ridicule survivors of a school shooting.

This tweet has a list of local establishments in the houston area sponsoring a speech by this guy. It would be a shame if everyone on DU flooded the inbox of these companies with demands to pull their sponsorships........
