Dinesh D’Souza Mocked Shooting Survivors. Why Is He Still on the ‘National Review’ Masthead?

The right-wing commentator has become more and more unhinged over the past year, and yet the famed conservative magazine has seemingly refused to cut ties with him.

Since publishing its splashy “Against Trump” issue in early 2016, National Review has supposedly been the platform for a more “intellectual” conservatism; a respite from the often bigoted, “trigger the libs”-style conservatism now espoused and embraced by mainstream Republicans.

And yet, amid all that posturing about civility and a willingness to take on a Republican president, the magazine continues to associate with one of the Trump era’s loudest and most well-known mouthpieces for vile, hateful, far-right rhetoric: Dinesh D’Souza.

Once considered a superstar of book-hawking institutional conservatism in the early ’00s, the commentator, author, and convicted felon has since become a right-wing troll, racking up several years worth of ugly Twitter-based commentary that make President Trump’s outbursts seem pleasant.D’Souza’s latest offense against general human decency came Tuesday afternoon when he responded to a photograph of Florida school-shooting survivors crying after the state’s legislature voted down an assault-weapons ban.

he wrote of the kids who’d watched 17 people get murdered inside Stoneman Douglas High School just a few days prior.


“Adults 1, kids 0,” he added.
