Conservative activist and convicted felon Dinesh D’Souza on Wednesday raised the bar for his incomprehensible Twitter feed, tweeting a photo of President Obama with the message, “YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE GHETTO.”

D’Souza criticized the “vulgar man” Obama for using a “selfie-stick” in a recent video produced by BuzzFeed that promotd the Affordable Care Act. He then decided to forgo a dog whistle and bashed out a racial slur in all caps.

Shortly after, D’Souza followed up his initial “ghetto” tweet:

The tweets are only the latest in a long line of swipes at the 44th President, whom D’Souza once compared to the Ebola virus (“OBOLA”).

D’Souza has often suggested his conviction for campaign finance fraud was political persecution arranged by the Obama administration.

  1. This is pretty vulgar behavior coming from a prominent leader of the Republican party. He’s really showing his stuff. Will the rest of the Republican party just cower in embarrassment, or will they have the courage to stand up to this extremism?

  2. Convicted felon says what?

    Some primitive learning demonstrated by the follow up tweet. Now realizes that it is hopeless to delete the first tweet.

    Words fail me. D’Souza is an imbecile. Actually, he makes your average imbecile look like Einstein.

  5. Avatar for mcbain mcbain says:

    Twitter could make a fortune by charging people to delete a tweet. The more you delete, the higher the price. In other words, put a price tag on stupidity.
