Dinesh D’Souza Attacks Obama by Invoking His Parents ‘Dumping Him’

Conservative commentator and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza enjoys taking shots at President Obama to rile up the left. This time he may have gotten just a wee bit too personal:

Obama's dad dumped him at birth & his mom got rid of him at age 10–did they know something we didn't when we signed up for this guy? pic.twitter.com/owhOt6IAwB

What the actual hell.

And he defended it when people on Twitter gave him hell over it:

@clocktower74 @LuckyBama14 Who's making light of it? It can seriously mess up a person as we see in Obama's case

@jmarmold I sense a lot of pomposity and self-righteousness here–look in the mirror for your own faults, hypocrite!

Yes, for some weird reason, people seemed to have a problem with D’Souza attacking Obama over his relationship with his parents:

This is low, Dinesh. Stop spending so much time with worshiping Trump. https://t.co/6hgl6hM0SN

Now I'm judging you people…

"Conservative" means something to me. We see broken families as a tragedy, not a joke or weapon. https://t.co/uL3eLhBcsx
