“A bigger voice than ever”
by digby
Dinesh D’Souza was on Fox this morning and filled everyone in on what went down with the pardon:
The president said, “Dinesh, you’ve been a great voice for freedom,” and he said that, “I got to tell you man-to-man, you’ve been screwed.”
He said upon reviewing it, he felt a great injustice had been done and that using his power, he was going to rectify it, sort of clear the slate, and he said he just wanted me to be out there, to be a bigger voice than ever, defending the principles that I believe in.
Meanwhile, here how he’s using his power today:
Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show? A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 1, 2018
Here’s a little bit of what we can expect from the great voice of the people, Dinesh D’Souza:

But as Vox helpfully lays out in this comprehensive piece, that’s nothing to the years and years of odious racist, xenophobic, rightwing propaganda which finally led him to be rejected even by many conservatives.
Until now. Trump has re-made him.
I fully expect to see Rush Limbaugh given the Medal of Freedom.
I’m not kidding.
