Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) kicked off a firestorm of criticism and controversy this week when he posted to X, “Multiculturalism will tear our country apart.”

While some critics offered Gill replies boasting the merits of diversity, like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), many were quick to call the post hypocritical as Gill is married to an Indian-American.

Khanna, who recently sparred with Vice President JD Vance over similar issues, wrote to Gill, “Read Frederick Douglass’s Composite Nation in 1869. People of all races and cultures coming together as one is what built America. Fear is what will tear us apart.”

Meanwhile, Stew Peters, an avowed white nationalist who the ADL calls a “prolific antisemite,” replied by writing, “This poser is literally married to an Indian. Wtf.” Peters included a photo of Gill, his wife, and his in-laws – including pro-MAGA conspiracy theorist Dinesh D’Souza.

D’Souza, who made headlines in recent years for his debunked 2020 election conspiracy film 2,000 Mules, replied to Peters:

I’m the Indian in the photo, and I’ve written against multiculturalism and in defense of Western civilization for 30 years.

My daughter was born in Virginia, grew up in San Diego and met Brandon at Dartmouth.
He is now the youngest GOP congressman and endorsed by Trump.

The ADL’s profile of Peters offers some insight on his reach within the MAGA movement, “Peters rose from obscurity to national prominence in 2022, thanks in large part to the success of several conspiratorial documentaries he released that year, most notably the anti-vaccine film “Died Suddenly.” Since then, Peters has emerged as one of the most influential right-wing conspiracy theorists in the United States, gaining public notoriety for his hate-filled tirades and repeated calls for various public figures to be tried for “treason” and executed.”
