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.

He should not only be FIRED for this, he should never show his face in public again.
